Drop Tower - TheClowner/ccRides-Support GitHub Wiki

Drop Tower Ride

Creates a ring, or a row, of seats, which is then hoisted up a tower, then released to free fall.

Setting types:
Integer = a whole number
Double = a decimal Number
Boolean = true/false
Location = In-game coordinates

Ride Settings

Also see Global Ride Settings for other settings.

Size and Seat Layout

Setting Name Type Default Value Description
RADIUS Double 3.5 The radius or length of the ring/row of seats, in blocks.
LIFT_HEIGHT Double 40.0 The height to lift the seats to, in blocks.
LEAN_ANGLE Double 45.0 The angle to lean the seats to just before the drop, in degrees.
BRAKE_HEIGHT Double 8.0 The height at which to start slowing down the fall. In blocks.
RING Boolean true True = seats form a ring. False = seats form a single row.
AXIS Boolean false Changes the direction which the row of seats faces.

Speed

Setting Name Type Default Value Description
FALL_ACCELERATION Double 0.1 The acceleration rate of the freefall drop. Blocks/tick per tick.
MAX_FALL_STEP Double 1.2 The maximum speed of the fall, in blocks/tick.
ROTATE_TIME Integer 500 The time, in ticks, for a full rotation. Note: Rotation is started/stopped by the ride sequence. By default, there is no rotation.

Ride Sequence

Added in v1.6.1

Setting Name Default Value Description
SEQUENCE 3:500,8:40,9:40,4:0,9:20,0:0 Defines the sequence of motion the ride follows. Steps are separated by commas, with each step having two parts: The type (see table below) and the time in ticks, separated by a colon. (type1:time1).
Sequence Step Type Description
1 Lift to 50% height, over the step time.
2 Lift to 75% height, over the step time.
3 Lift to 100% height, over the step time.
4 Free fall Drop to 0%. Time is ignored for this step.
5 Stop Rotation (RING=true only)
6 Start Rotation (RING=true only)
7 Tilt seats to 0% (Horizontal)
8 Tilt seats to 100% (LEAN_ANGLE)
9 Hold
10 Lower to 0% height, over the step time. (lowers at a constant speed, rather than accelerating)
11 Free fall Drop to 25%. Time is ignored for this step.
12 Free fall Drop to 50%. Time is ignored for this step.
0 Stop Ride.

Some alternative sequence examples:

These are just some ideas, you can customise your sequence however you wish.

Sequence Description
6:0,3:500,8:40,5:0,9:40,4:0,9:20,0:0 Same as default, but with rotation during the lift
1:250,9:20,4:0,9:20,2:400,9:20,4:0,9:20,3:500,9:20,8:40,9:40,4:0,9:20,0:0 Three drops, increasing in size.
6:0,3:900,9:450,10:900,9:20,5:0,9:20,0:0 Slowly lift, hold and then lower, with constant rotation. Emulates an observation tower.

Legacy Settings (Before Version 1.6.1)

These options are not available in newer version of ccRides, as they are replaced by the SEQUENCE option above.

Setting Name Type Default Value Description
LIFT_TIME Integer 400 The time taken to lift the seats, in ticks.
HOLD_TIME Integer 60 The amount of time to hold the seats at the highest point before releasing, in ticks.
ROTATE_IN_LIFT Boolean false Enables rotation while the seats are being lifted.
ROTATE_IN_HOLD Boolean false Enables rotation while the seats are held seats before the drop.
ROTATE_IN_DROP Boolean false Enables rotation while the seats are falling.
