traffic adviser

The traffic adviser (also known as the arrow stick or directional board) is used to direct traffic around the vehicle. It has three positions: left, center, and right.

Usage

Action
Default Key
Config Key

Arrow Left

NUMPAD 4

directLinks

Arrow Center

NUMPAD 5

directCenter

Arrow Right

NUMPAD 6

directRechts

Each button works as a toggle: press once to activate, press again to deactivate.

Configuration

directLinks = {3, 4},     -- Extras for left-pointing arrow
directCenter = {5, 6},    -- Extras for center pattern
directRechts = {7, 8},    -- Extras for right-pointing arrow

Exclusive / Unique Groups

Traffic adviser directions are typically configured as unique groups — meaning activating one direction automatically deactivates the others. This is handled via the unique property:

unique = {
    directLinks = {3, 4},
    directRechts = {7, 8},
    directCenter = {5, 6},
}

When unique is configured, activating directLinks will first turn off any active extras from directRechts and directCenter, ensuring only one direction is active at a time. See Unique / Exclusive Extrasarrow-up-right for more details.

You don't have to limit unique groups to just the traffic adviser. Any combination of light types can be made mutually exclusive using the unique property.
