📋 About This Mod

DV_LevelCrossings

Bring life and realism to Derail Valley's railway crossings!

DV_LevelCrossings transforms static railway crossing barriers into fully dynamic, train-reactive systems. Barriers automatically lower as trains approach and raise once the track is clear, complete with flashing lights and warning bells.

Designed to be lightweight, reliable, and game-safe.


  • []Converts static railway crossing barriers into dynamic crossings

    []Direction-aware trigger system

    []Automatic barrier lowering on train approach

    []Automatic raising after train clears the crossing

    []Raise delay timing for realism

    []Reverse fail-safe timer (prevents crossings staying down if train reverses)

    []Flashing red warning lights

    []3D spatial bell audio


How It Works

The system is designed to behave like a real-world level crossing:

  • []Drive train towards level crossing.

    []Once near to the crossing, Barriers lower and flashing lights and bells begin.

    []Once train clears crossing, Barriers raise and flashing lights and bells cease.

    []If train remains within the crossing block, then Barriers remain down.
