if you create a city game which is based off a city in a US state, please get the MUTCD supplement for the state. Examples are:
Game name| MUTCD| Reason
City of Sacramento, California | CAMUTCD | because this game is based off the City of Sacramento
Chicago RP| Illonios Supplement| This game is based off Chicago which is in Illonois.
Atlanta, Georgia| Default MUTCD| this is a game based off Atlanta which is based in Georgia.
If you dont know, which US State the national MUTCD, an supplement or its own MUTCD has, please look here: Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices - Wikipedia
Chapter 3 - Getting Started
Lets see what is included:
- Highway Signs with square borders (All highway signs are 6 studs long and wide
- Highway Signs with rounded borders
- Arrow Per Lane arrows
- Normal arrows
- No Trucks Sign
- Normal text signs (If the text is too blurry, Open the sign, go to SurfaceGUI, then scoll down until you see PixelsPerStud and increase it by a bit, but note that making the number too large makes the text small.)
- Text Signs with a high PixelsPerStud number + RichText enabled
The next chapter is customizing the sign, and placing the sign on the Gantry, you may also place the sign on the gantry first, then customize it
Chapter 3 - Customizing
Okay, lets get to the actual fun part, which is customizing. I assume you already ungrouped the pack and placed the sign somewhere where you can customize it without any issues. So lets get started:
I will show you how to make a road sign which is an EXIT ONLY lane and goes to Weston Road on Highway 1 which has an Exit number of 47 A
First off, get the green sign and a yellow one and place it somewhere where it doesnt annoy me. It looks like this:
And resize it
Then we make the yellow panel smaller, put the yellow panel ontop of the other panel and move it 0.1 stud inside the sign. Note that you have to use the default Move tool in Roblox Studio (Also make sure that you have Dragger QoL Improvments disabled in the Beta Features to make the smaller sign move in a grid, and also any text or objects ontop of the sign will also move in a grid if you have this disabled.), like this:
Then we scale the smaller yellow sign to fit the bigger sign’s width
To make the “EXIT ONLY” text, you need to make the “EXIT” sign part alligned to the right, while the “ONLY” must be alligned to the left.
And a few minutes later with moving text, scaling stuff, looking at the MUTCD on how much the sign text has to be spaced out and more, you are pretty much done:
Now tell me, doesnt this look pretty good?
Just for info, those parts with the blue outline are the text parts.
Chapter 4 - Putting it on a Gantry
Okay, you're done making the sign, and ready to put it on a gantry, but how? It is quite simple, either you create your own gantry, which i always do by placing a part which is 2x2 studs, scaling it to 32 studs, then dulplicating the part and then putting the other part at the end of the first part:
And then you can pretty much put your sign on the gantry
So that is basically all i have to show you what my pack can do, it is quite cool for city and highway racing games. So if you are planning to make a city game, dont forget to add my pack inside for more realistic road signs.
