Using Grind Rail Devices

A Grind Rail is a flexible rail that a player can slide on to move quickly from one point to another. Grind Rails, along with Ziplines, are fun ways for players to traverse your island.

With the Grind Rail device, you can create grind rails in any length, and with all the curves, twists, and turns you can dream up!

Grind Rail devices in Creative are similar to AI Patrol Path devices in that they have two nodes (called Control Points) when first placed. However, the Grind Rail has two parts: the rail itself, and the Control Points you use to define and edit the shape and length of the rail.

A minimum of two Control Points is required to define each end of the rail — if you remove all but one Control Point, it will remove the entire rail.

To find the Grind Rail device, see Using Devices.

If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
