If your vehicle is like our example cultivator and meant to be attached to a tow vehicle, there’s an additional tag that you should include to handle when the AI worker drives the tool on the street: <agentAttachment>. This tag is included in the content of the <ai> tag and the attributes in it are used by the AI worker to properly calculate the vehicle size and rotation points. From our example cultivator, the content of the <ai> tag looks like this (bold for new content):

<ai> <needsLowering value=”true” /> <areaMarkers leftNode=”aiMarkerLeft” rightNode=”aiMarkerRight” backNode=”aiMarkerBack” /> <collisionTrigger node=”aiCollisionNode” width=”6.6” height=”2.4” /> <sizeMarkers leftNode=”sizeMarkerLeft” rightNode=”sizeMakerRight” backNote=”sizeMarkerBack” /> <collisionTrigger node=”aiCollisionTrigger” /> <allowTurnBackward value=”false” /> <turningRadiusLimitation rotationJointNode=”componentJointDraw bar” wheelIndices=”1 2” /> <toolReverserDirectionNode node=”aiMarkerBack” /> <agentAttachment jointNode=”attacherJoint” rotCenterWheelIndices=”1 2” width=”2.9” height=”3.6” length=”7.5” lengthOffset=”3.25” /> </ai>

As you can hopefully see from the example text, the <agentAttachment> tag comes with a number of attributes that you can use to pass information to the AI worker. The following is a description of each attribute:

jointNode: This attribute is the name of the main attacher joint while your vehicle is used on the road. If your tool doesn’t drive on wheels, then you don’t need to include this attribute.

rotCenterWheelIndices: This attribute is a little tricky to describe. It’s a list of wheel indices (separated by spaces) that represent the rotation pivot of a “trailer like” tool, such as our example cultivator. As with the jointNode attribute, if your tool doesn’t drive on wheels, then you shouldn’t include this attribute. Alternatively you could use the rotCenterPosition attribute to define the rotational center position independent of the wheels.

width: The width of the vehicle while it’s in transport mode or driving on the street.

height: The height of the vehicle while being towed.

length: The length of the vehicle while being towed.

lengthOffset: The offset from the vehicle’s main component or the rotation pivot, if defined. In our example, the rotation pivot is defined by the wheel indices, so that’s our reference for the offset.
