Stairs

Stairs are usually placed on inrun sides, or hill. They can be also used in custom constructions. There is only one element that defines stairs contains - stairs.

TIP

This section of the documentation contains things, that can't be described using only words. The best way to test the parameters described below is to use elements from already existing hills and play with them.

Positioning stairs

Name	Type	Allowed values	Description	Optional
y[1, 2]?	Float		The position relative to the Y-axis	True
z[1, 2]?	Float		The position relative to the Z-axis	True
refx[1, 2]?	String	A built-in reference which applies for refx or custom refx id	A reference to the X-axis, which stairs are based on	True
refy[1, 2]?	String	A built-in reference which applies for refy or your defined profile name	A reference to the Y-axis, which stairs are based on	True
refz[1, 2]?	String	A built-in reference which applies for refz or your defined profile name	A reference to the Z-axis, which stairs are based on	True

Sizing stairs

TIP

Manipulating length of stairs which cover defined refx in DSJ4 is based on manipulating x1 and x2 attributes, width on lz and rz.

Name	Type	Description
x1	Float	The starting point in position relative to the X-axis
x2	Float	The ending point in position relative to the X-axis
lz	Float	The starting point in position relative to the Z-axis
rz	Float	The ending point position relative to the Z-axis
s	+Float	Length of one stair

Controlling sides visibility

Name	Type	Description	Optional
left	Boolean	Toogles the left side visibility	True
right	Boolean	Toggles the right side visibility	True

Texturing stairs

Name	Type	Description
[t, m, c]1	[Texture, Material, Color]	Stair front, rear, left, right and bottom side material and color
[t, m, c]2	[Texture, Material, Color]	Stair top side texture, material and color

    <!-- Rest of code omitted for clearance -->

    <guardrail z1="-1.0" z2="1.0" x="10" />

    <!-- You can place example stairs on the left and right side of the inrun using this snippet -->
