Distance meter
Use
As soon as you have built something, the distance to your last work is shown in the status bar. It works as far as I know for everything:
- Assets
- Stations
- Depots
- Bus stops
- Tracks
- Signals
- Streets
- Waypoints
- Stops
Attention
- For roads and tracks, the node closest to the mouse position at the time of construction is used. Unfortunately I can’t do it any better, because building crossings etc. creates an inscrutable amount of new nodes and I don’t know which was the last one.
- For signals, waypoints and stops the cursor position is simply used. You don’t get any clues in the script where exactly the thing was placed.
So…
- Keep these restrictions in mind
- Hold the mouse still for a short time until the street etc. is really visible. You will get a feeling for it very quickly.
