[REQ] Hillside GRL to Subway?

[TinySim 4]

I'd love to have a lot that does this. When morifari released the Hillside EL to Subway lot I found it very useful, and something similar for GLR would be great!

Actually, morifari also created a hillside GLR-to-subway transition. It was published on GoaSkin's now defunct GLR website, but never released on the STEX. If GoaSkin doesn't want to post it, I'll could upload it as well.

I did not publish it because the model and all the props are not placed in a suitable position. Before it is ready to publish, somebody has to recreate the whole LOT using Morifaris models. The tunnel entry is rotated by 90 degrees to the LOT face. If you place the LOT in a rotated position, it uses the height of the tile beside instead of the GLR route.

I don't think that's a very big problem.. in fact, it comes in handy if you run a road next to the GLR.

If the tunnel entry is a prop, set Previewable to true. If it is a building, don't change anything. Then you'll be able to see it during the plop.

BTW, I also modified it to work with rail, for a rail trench that was too shallow for the puzzle pieces.

Please release it, I'd love to have one.

I'll look again if some modding is necessary (I tend to agree with ardecila, the rotated prop might come in handy when you have a road nearby) and release the BAT later.

I didn't change the lot, as GoaSkin suggested, since I think it's a minor issue, which can easily be solved by leveling the terrain a bit. The tunnel prop is visible when plopping the lot, so you won't have any problems with the proper alignment.

It is not as easy to handle es thought. A flat tile beside the tunnel entrance sometimes looks incredible.
