Slots2 is an improvement to the Slots section, designed and implemented in preparation for a new slots system planned for future updates of the game. As of now, it offers no clear advantages over the standard Slots section. The main difference is separating slot type into the actual slot name and lists of allowed and denied slotTypes for this slot. You can use both Slots and Slots2 in different Jbeam files of the vehicle.
In case of direct conversion from slots, the old content of “type” in that section becomes the only element of this table.
Allows applying parts with multiple slotType variations into the same slot.
In case of direct conversion from slots, this table will be empty.
This has a higher priority than allowTypes: If a part contains 2 slotTypes, one allowed and one denied, it will be denied.
Variable names must start with the $ symbol. Example usage:
["log_trailer_bolsters_R","log_trailer_bolsters_R","Rear Bolsters", {"variables": {"$bolster_offset":-0.39}}],
These are the same as in Slots section.
A standard use of slots2, with no difference in behavior from the standard slots section.
