Reuploading and source stealing will not be tolerated ! Selling it is also out of option, as the open source suggests !

ATTENSION : trackassembly/asmlib Get/Set OPVAR is now deprecated. Please use trackassembly/asmlib.VARIABLE_NAME instead to update your scripts!

(https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/ZeroBraineProjects/tree/master/Assembly/opvar)

  * Update values
   1. asmlib.SetOpVar("DELAY_ACTION", 0.01)
   2. asmlib.DELAY_ACTION = 0.01
  * Read values
   1. local a = asmlib.GetOpVar("DELAY_ACTION")
   2. local a = asmlib.DELAY_ACTION

** ATTENTION **: Currently slider and wheel powered trains rail collision is broken. Valve made a PR for TF2 which will potensially fix this issue in Gmod too. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/7426#issuecomment-3512301873
