Props, Vars and CBs

General

• variables

Vehicles

• common props | vars | CBs
• train | roadveh | ship | aircr props

Stations

• properties | variables | callbacks

Canals

• properties | variables | callbacks

Bridges

• properties | variables | callbacks

Towns

Houses

• properties | variables | callbacks

Industries

• common variables
• industry props | vars | CBs
• tile props | vars | CBs

Cargos

• properties | variables | callbacks

Airports

• airport props | vars | CBs
• tile props | vars | CBs

Objects

Railtypes

Roadtypes

Tramtypes

Roadstops

• properties | variables | callbacks

Road stops can only be defined in OpenTTD 14.0 or later.

Road stop IDs

OpenTTD supports 64000 road stop types per game.

Rpad stop IDs are NewGRF-local and can therefore freely be chosen within the ID ranges.

A road stop is allocated by setting the 'class'-property, which should therefore be set first.

Road stop properties

property	value range	comment
class	String literal of length 4	This property must be set first, before any other properties or graphics. Road stops belonging to the same class are grouped in the GUI. There is one special class: "WAYP": 15.0  The road stop type will be shown in the waypoint construction window, instead of the station construction window.
classname	string	You only need to set this for one road stop in every class.
name	string
availability_type	RST_AVAILABILITY_TYPE_XXX	XXX = [PASSENGER | FREIGHT | ALL] The default value is RST_AVAILABILITY_TYPE_ALL
draw_mode	bitmask(RST_DRAW_FLAG_XXX, ...)	See list of draw mode flags The default value is bitmask(RST_DRAW_FLAG_BAY_ROAD, RST_DRAW_FLAG_DRIVE_THROUGH_ROAD_OVERLAY)
cargo_random_triggers	Array of cargo labels from the cargotable	Cargo types, which will trigger re-randomization when delivered, loaded or unloaded at the station.
animation_info	Array [ANIMATION_XXX, frame-count]	XXX = [LOOPING | NON_LOOPING], 1..253 frames
animation_speed	0..16	Speed of animation, see animation speed table for the meaning of the values.
animation_triggers		See list of animation triggers
general_flags	bitmask(RST_GENERAL_FLAG_XXX, ...)	See list of general flags
cost_multipliers	[build_cost, clear_cost]	Build and clear cost multipliers, 16 is the same as a non-NewGRF road stop

List of draw mode flags

Name	Meaning
RST_DRAW_FLAG_BAY_ROAD	Draw road type ground sprite for bay stops.
RST_DRAW_FLAG_DRIVE_THROUGH_ROAD_OVERLAY	Draw road overlays for drive-through stops.
RST_DRAW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_GROUND	15.0  Draw spritelayout ground sprite on top of underlying road (if unset, the spritelayout ground sprite is not drawn).

List of general flags

Name	Meaning
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_RANDOM_ANIMATION	Animation callback requires random bits in variable extra_callback_info1.
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_NO_CATENARY	Do not show catenary graphics.
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_DRIVE_THROUGH_ONLY	Only allow drive-through stops (not bay stops).
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_NO_AUTO_ROAD_CONNECTION	Do not automatically build connecting road pieces.
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_BUILD_MENU_ROAD_ONLY	Only show in the road build menu (not tram).
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_BUILD_MENU_TRAM_ONLY	Only show in the tram build menu (not road).
RST_GENERAL_FLAG_DRAW_MODE_REGISTER	15.0  Read the road stop draw mode from variable 0x100 (set using STORE_TEMP), this overrides the draw_mode property.
