Description
Ever want to race with style? Subscribe and try the Raceway Countdown, which you can race up to 12 players! See description for instructions:

Workshop Requirements
Wiremod, Sprops, & optional Improved Weight

Features
This improved version from my original before automatically counts each player's laps when crossing the checker line, with a built-in timer! You can run the countdown with bright visuals or practice at your leisure! Rankings and final times are displayed in a new scoreboard and a red penalty button stops timer with yellow lights, inspired by Nascar.

Compatiable Vehicles
You can use Wiremod's Locator tool to weld it in front of an incompatiable vehicle!
Otherwise, registered vehicles include:
NOTE: You can only cross the region through the checker line, not above the pole with lights and screens. Feel free to comment on any other missing vehicle addons or packs!

Instructions
Displayed in developer console (enabled under Options -> Keyboard -> Advanced as ` key):
  1. Simply spawn with duplicator perpendicular to the track, or unfreeze and reposition the raceway line or scoreboard with the Physgun!
  2. NEW: Adjust the race line (the checkered square) to the desired track width and freeze with the Physgun.
  3. Get the players' vehicles near the race line.
  4. Find control panel with buttons.
  5. Push blue "Set" button, which stores players for laps and rankings.
  6. Set number of total laps to race with arrow buttons.
  7. Either set the:
    • Blue "Test" button for practice, or
    • Green "Race" button for actual countdown race.
  8. Race until all players finish their laps!
    • If open track, make sure to cross near the line.
    • If someone's being naughty, press the red penalty "Stop" button to restructure and again to continue!

Do not upload this again or you will just give credit to the original owner.

Go speed racer and VRRROOOOMMM to my Builder Mode Creations collection!

Thank you again @RoxyRazz35! Added another update note to provide the requests, and importantly fix the player crossing bug. Any other issues definitely let me know, but hope this new update helps!

Also found a glitch where when we drive over it once, it adds 2 laps instead of 1

(ignore the background noise my friend is commentating a race xd)

I have 2 more suggestions which are fine if not possible or are too much to do. Could you maybe make a secondary lap-time or make it so that the lap-times activate when the player crosses the line rather than when the device goes green, it makes it so qualifying and practice can be more accurate and helps with logging lap-times. And my second suggestion, could you possibly extend the max amount of players able to be on to possibly 10 or 12? Thank you very much for the line extend update this is a big help for my racing series, have a great day!

Next update is released that includes the ability to adjust the race line width for shorter or wider tracks! Simply use your Physgun before to adjust a hydraulic checkered square before setting your players! Thank you to those below for the good suggestion! :gmod:

@<[HelluvaEng18]> Wide enough for nascar maps ig, since it doesn't fit the length of most tracks. Srry for late reply, thanks much!

yes I want to ask the same question. if it can be made bigger to accommodate more cars?
<[HelluvaEng18]>  [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 2:01pm 
Sure, like 2x wider or?
RoxyRazz35 15 Dec, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
Is it possible to make the raceway line longer and have it still detect because the tracks I use are much wider.
