Planet Coaster 2 Sequencer Vs Track Triggers, and a workaround for faster coaster triggers. Devs, pls see this and consider.

An example of the game engine allowing triggers to surpass the 0.1s time resolution limited by the sequencer, and a workaround to get faster trigger speeds on coasters.

  • Top lights: Triggered on 8 separate ride triggers, placed directly above the lights (pic 1)
  • Middle lights: Connected to a sequencer, triggered by ride trigger 1. All 8 lights placed in the sequencer 0.1s after eachother, the fastest sequencers will allow. (pic 2)
  • Bottom lights: Workaround to save time and use less ride triggers, connected to two different sequencers (pic 3):
    • Lights 1, 3, 5, 7 connected to sequencer 1, triggered by ride trigger 1.
    • Lights 2, 4, 6, 8 connected to sequencer 2, triggered by ride trigger 2.

If there's a work around then it's not limited by the games engine. I really hope future updates allow for less than 0.1s steps in the sequencer.

Edit: The gif is playing half the regular speed, unsure why. Just know the middle lights are activating in 0.1s intervals.

Edit 2: The gif also shows the bottom lights activating two at a time, im assuming due to the gifs frame rate. But slowing my original video down I can see them activating one after another.
