BridgeSet

The tile set that supplies the sixteen pieces a road bridge is built from.

Specification

Applies to: tile controls
File: theater control file
Section: [General]
Value: integer
When omitted: -1No tile set is bound to the role.

BridgeSet names the tile set that holds the road bridge pieces. The sixteen tiles that start at that set’s first tile count as road bridge pieces, and the ten Bridge position keys say which of them draws each part of a span. The value is a tile-set number, the NNNN of a [TileSetNNNN] section in the theater control file.

The retail temperate theater lays out its road bridge set like this:

[General]
BridgeSet = 19          ; road bridge pieces come from [TileSet0019]
BridgeTopLeft1 = 1      ; the first piece of that set
BridgeTopLeft2 = 2
BridgeBottomRight1 = 3
BridgeBottomRight2 = 3  ; a pair may name the same piece
BridgeTopRight1 = 4
BridgeTopRight2 = 5
BridgeBottomLeft1 = 6
BridgeBottomLeft2 = 6
BridgeMiddle1 = 7       ; positions 7 through 11
BridgeMiddle2 = 12      ; positions 12 through 16

Damage, collapse and engineer repairs follow the position keys, as BridgeMiddle1 describes. Road bridge pieces also link the two banks for route-finding, so units plan paths across the span.
