Help - how to prevent folding when trailer is loaded

[Alpha_Omega]

Hello,

I have a trailer that I am working on that has the fold/unfold capability. When the trailer is unfolded and is carrying crops, I would like to disable the ability to fold it again until it has been empty of its cargo (bulk materials) - Similar to how combines/harvesters will not let you fold them until they are empty of their contents.

Is it possible to do this? I've tried studying examples of the harvesters but had no luck in figuring this out.

I appreciate any help or info in order to achieve this. Thank you.

Check the script documentation on the GDN website for the folding specialization to see if there are any tags in the lua that will prohibit folding when loaded. If none exist you could make a lua script for it and add it to your equipment.

I found this in the MB35 of the Holmer Pack:

Code: Select all

<fillUnit>
        <fillUnitConfigurations>
            <fillUnitConfiguration>
                <fillUnits allowFoldingWhileFilled="false">
                    <fillUnit unit="$l10n_unit_literShort" fillTypes="chaff sugarBeet potato grass_windrow drygrass_windrow" capacity="35000" >
                        <exactFillRootNode node="exactFillRootNode" />
                    </fillUnit>
                </fillUnits>
            </fillUnitConfiguration>
        </fillUnitConfigurations>
    </fillUnit>

I would guess the allowFoldingWhileFilled parameter is what you are looking for.

Sorry for the late response, I stopped checking the forums about a month ago.

@Eische - Your solution worked perfectly! Thank you for taking the time to respond and help, I really appreciate it.
