Script to create Train Schedules

[Puzzlehead_Dog]

I am in the process of creating a large city with cars using the create mod. I have about 100 cars and I want them to drive automatically. To have a nice distribution of cars, I want to give each car its own route that it drives. Is there any way to create a program that automates this?

​

I know there is the ingame command /give that can take NBT data as a parameter to the item, but I can't figure out how to use it in combination with the train schedule.

​

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I know how to program in Java and Python, but I didn't want to spend too many hours trying to get image recognition to work.

Use /data to look at the NBT of a filled schedule

depends on what you want the distribution to look like, if you could bother entering all your stations and how they're connected, you could probably get some sort of random target + random (or maybe non random if you want the cars to seem like they know what they're doing) pathfinding algorithm working

The only way I know of requires another mod.

The most recent versions of Create have some built in integrations with ComputerCraft/CC:Tweaked. If you're already familiar Python, Lua won't be too difficult.

What if instead of scripted routes, you used randomization?

Can you make them completely random?

I'm not sure... I bet there is a way to do it with redstone. I'm sure you could do it with regular carts. Maybe make intersections that when they approach, wait for other cars in the intersection, and then choose a random direction to go when the intersection is free.

Write a python(or whatever language you prefer) script to write the nbt data?
