Proximity Boost Counter

Proximity Boost Counter is an OpenRCT2 plugin that helps you understand how much nearby scenery, paths, water, and other rides contribute to your coaster’s proximity-related excitement bonuses.

This tool is focused on roller coasters only.

Features

• Fast crosshair-based coaster selection
• Plugin menu entry: Proximity Boost Counter
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+P (or GUI+P)
• Shows a breakdown table of nearby scenery, tracks and paths that factor into your excitement rating
• Shows total counts, cap, and the number of items that were included in the score.
• Detailed explanation text for the selected row
• Refresh button to recalculate after edits
• Pick button to choose anothe ride.

How it works

When you select a coaster, the plugin scans the map for that ride’s track elements and scores nearby interactions (for example: over water, near paths, near scenery, and near other track). It then displays per-factor counts in the window so you can see where your proximity score is coming from.

Usage

1. Open OpenRCT2.
2. Launch the plugin using either:
   • Menu: Proximity Boost Counter
   • Shortcut: Ctrl+P
3. Click a coaster (or one of its vehicles) with the crosshair.
4. Inspect the table and click rows to view explanations.
5. Use Refresh after track/scenery changes.

Build (development)

From this folder:

1. Install dependencies:
   • npm install
2. Build and copy to your OpenRCT2 plugin folder:
   • npm run build

The build script writes a timestamped build into builds/ and also copies the latest output to your live OpenRCT2 plugin path.
