Tipper stops unload when switching to vehicle

[Maxcdr]

Hi!
I have a tipper which is unloading in a selling point or in farm silo. If I switch to another vehicle using VeGS and switch back to the tipper, it stops to unload.
If I use "Tab" key instead, it does not stop to unload.
Am I doing something wrong? What can be done for the tipper does not stop unloading when using VeGS?
As far as I remember it was working fine with FS15.
Thanks!

Hi Maxcdr,

I have looked into this issue, as I've noticed it myself, and discovered that it is not something I can 'really' fix - or in case I used more time (of the 2-3 hours I've used so far, looking into it), it would be some very very ugly code that most likely will cause new bugs.

So unfortunately I will have to state this issue as; not fixable at this time.

---

The problem is due to 'the specific sequence of execution of statements' in;

• the non-documented/non-public game-scripts (the default "Tab" vehicle-switching),
• the if-statement in Trailer:updateTick() (line 388: if ((self ~= g_currentMission.trailerInTipRange ...),
• the VeGS' call to g_currentMission:requestToEnterVehicle(foundVehObj) (i.e. the alternative vehicle-switching).

When using the default "Tab" switching, then the non-documented code somehow updates the g_currentMission.trailerInTipRange variable to the value expected by the mentioned line 388 if-statement, before Trailer:updateTick() is called.

However when using VeGS switching, g_currentMission.trailerInTipRange will have a different value, before Trailer:updateTick() is called, thereby causing the trailer to end its tipping.

I don't see any "easy way" to make sure the variable contains what Trailer:updateTick() expects, when using VeGS switching. Because any "easy way" (like by 'brute force'-set the value) will likely create new unknown bugs.
