==== m_OriginalTrainTrackData ====
The [https://pastebin.mtasa.com/748483851 m_OriginalTrainTrackData array] contains the same values in CTrainTrackManager.cpp and CTrainTrackManagerSA.cpp.
 
The Init function is structured like so (pay special attention to the comments):
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
typedef struct
{
    short sX;              // x coordinate times 8
    short sY;              // y coordinate times 8
    short sZ;              // z coordinate times 8
    float fRailDistance;    // on-rail distance ( leave the client to calculate this )
    void Init ( short sX, short sY, short sZ, unsigned short sRailDistance, WORD padding )
    {
        this->sX = sX;
        this->sY = sY;
        this->sZ = sZ;
        this->fRailDistance = sRailDistance;
    }
} SRailNode;
</syntaxhighlight>
 
We need to make sense of the following things:

* Why is padding an argument here? (It doesn't do anything, and when Init() is called, real values are provided)

m_OriginalTrainTrackData

The m_OriginalTrainTrackData array contains the same values in CTrainTrackManager.cpp and CTrainTrackManagerSA.cpp.

The Init function is structured like so (pay special attention to the comments): 

typedef struct
{
    short sX;               // x coordinate times 8
    short sY;               // y coordinate times 8
    short sZ;               // z coordinate times 8
    float fRailDistance;    // on-rail distance ( leave the client to calculate this )
    void Init ( short sX, short sY, short sZ, unsigned short sRailDistance, WORD padding )
    {
        this->sX = sX;
        this->sY = sY;
        this->sZ = sZ;
        this->fRailDistance = sRailDistance;
    }
} SRailNode;

We need to make sense of the following things:

  • Why is padding an argument here? (It doesn't do anything, and when Init() is called, real values are provided)
  • Why are values repeated several times?
  • Why does the last repeat have slightly different values?

Issues

  • There may be some issues (relating to infinite loops) if a track runs across another or crosses another
    • Infinite loop occurs at 006f8fda, see call stack. Occurs when a track of two nodes have same x/y, but different z. Only occurs for tracks that ONLY consist of nodes atop each other.
      • Possible solution: when creation tracks, ensure that atleast one of the nodes has a different x/y to any other node.
  • Tracks may not be cleaned up -> See CTrainTrackManager::ResetTracks
  • See CTrainTrackManager and CTrainTrackManagerSA - why is this file so big? Why are coordinates provided multiple times for the same track? Which ones are right?
  • int CWorldSA::FindClosestRailTrackNode needs updating. It needs to use MAX_TOTAL_TRACKS and the train manager. See 09e3ee8f25810c17742
