💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game has an anti-cheat or mod verification system—if it does, you may need to disable it or use a mod loader.
- Bind the button to something you can reach easily, like a side mouse button or a joystick trigger, so you can switch junctions without losing control.
- Test the mod in a simple scenario first to see how it decides which junction to switch—it's direction-based, so make sure you're approaching the junction the way you expect.
