Trailer cables as accessory part

#1 Post by MirusoxCreations » 04 Jun 2026 22:58

Hello.

I was strugling for quite some time with trailer cables. I created connection panel for my trailer and make it accessory parts.

In game it works and looks good except cables. The game log gave me this error, which is meaningless, because the locators with these names are included in the model and set correctly in SCS Parts.

Code: Select all

00:00:17.269 : <WARNING> [trailer_cables] Can't find 2nd cable attachment locator: 'ele_cable_w' on trailer or rest locator: 'rst_cable_w' in vehicle upgrade, aborting cable creation!
00:00:17.269 : <WARNING> [trailer_cables] Can't find 2nd cable attachment locator: 'ele_cable_b' on trailer or rest locator: 'rst_cable_b' in vehicle upgrade, aborting cable creation!
I dont think the problem is in DEF, countles changing in def, in model too and still the same result.

Once I create locators directly on the chassis model and dont use these models as accessory parts, the cables in the game work fine and game log is clear.
It is possible to create trailer cables for trailers as accessory parts? I cant think of any other option than to permanently place these models directly on the chassis and assign them to SCS variants. I want to avoid this variant because I already use variants for other chassis expansions, and it won't help me in the future either.

mmm .. might be a dumb conclusion
but the warning says "2nd cable"
so maybe the trailer is fine? and the truck is the problem? maybe you're using a truck mod?

Clean profile with standard truck, as always when i make mods.
as i mention on first post, when i put cable locators directly to trailer chassis then cables work, but when i put them in accessy they dont work and log says that second cable locator is missing.
