apparently if attachable is removed as speciality you can use other options, was reason for my PM to you, UAL is now fully working with tension straps with truck type as transportTruck

Code: Select all

	
<vehicleTypes>
		<type name="transportTruck" className="Vehicle" filename="$dataS/scripts/vehicles/Vehicle.lua">

I know you solved your issue but I may have some valuable info here.

On the truck I've been working on the previous modder couldn't get the tension belts to work. Probably in part to just having the vehicle type set as car. I changed the type to forwarder and was able to get them to work. Then by accident I stumbled across someone who mentioned that to get the tension belts on the original mod for the truck I'm working with they changed the vehicle type to: car_dynamicMountAttacher

I tested it and sure enough it works. Also removes the ability to change the vehicle driving direction that a forwarder gives you which I didn't think a regular truck needed.

Nice bit of info, I always like knowing whats going on behind the scenes and knowing what "actual" vehicle I am driving, keep digging
