Wiremod E2 API

Description

The Track assembly tool Expression 2 API is used for a wrapper of the library functions, which handle the track piece snapping, so you can call them inside an E2 and thus create your own automatically generated layouts. This also can be used when you need to implement track switchers, where you just snap desired track piece to the track end you wish to use. You can then apply your desired properties, like disable physgun no-collide and weld to make sure the piece is not going anywhere and it is not generating server collisions.

Data types

This list is derived from the Wiremod types wiki located here.

API functions list

For every table, there is a wrapper function that reads the desired data you want:
