Tram on bridge

[Simcraft 0]

Hello guys,

is it possible to have a tram driving on a bridge (avenue bridge, for example)? If so, how? I always need to build a second bridge or a tunnel just for the tram which is quite unrealistic.

Sim!

I havent been able to, but it is a good idea!

Sadly, that is impossible. If you did do it the traffic simulator would go crazy! The game would most likely crash.

Although a puzzle piece based bridge may be possible. Why dont you go to the NAM suggestions thread and ask if it would be possible to have a PUZZLE PIECE based bridge. That way you would also be able to have corners!

I guess the only solution is taking the tram off the roads, becoming a simple GLR and then, using the GLR<->El-Rail transition piece. You can make bridges with Maxis El-Rail, so you can lay the bridge. Do the same transition in the other side.

Unless someone makes an "on-slope" and a "over -x" peice (where x is the stuff being crossed) no

new pieces come out now and then as usage expands so you never know.. maybe you can make it yourself..

Actually, I do believe someone attempted this. It was a double-decker bridge with a highway and a rail. The thread is now locked, but its great to check out! Linkie

I was thinking, If the NAM team can create el rail over road then surely they can create something that can be plopped on water, then something that can transition from land to water. That way you could have curves!!

Example:

L-land piece

T-land-sea transition (1x3)

S- Sea piece

W- water

G-ground

B-beach

or maybe:

GGGGGGGGGBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBBGGGGGGGGGGG

LLLLLLLLLLTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBBGGGGGGGGGGG

GGGGGGGGGBBWWWWWWWWWWWSWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBBGGGGGGGGGGG

Im sure that it can be done using puzzle pieces

EDIT: i coloured some of the letters to make it easier to understand

You can actully make a brodge similar to what you showed using the water level cheat and the rain tool i tried the rain tool on this and slightly overshot the water level. Hoepfully there isnt anymore rain.

Well I can think of a way to have multiple traffic types on a bridge and have it curved at the same time.

Powerlines are considered a network type in the game, so you can edit the traffic simulator file to allow some kind of traffic on them. Then you create a teleport building that will change pedestrians, cars, trains, whatever into that traffic type and send them send them through the powerlines.

That's a good idea, someone should mod that

Also, I beleive there is a way to create something like an elevated highway, then open the tile in SC4 Terraformer, lower the land that has the highway, and re-open the tile. It certainly doesn't look as good, but it is a straightforward way of making curving bridges

Idealy the NAM team could create a puzzle piece set
