[Enhancement] Add ability to enable front loading like rear loading

[alfi0212]

Hi, thank you for this amazing mod!
I play with a hd baler with a bale chute and i would be creat if there would be a option to enableFrontLoading="true" - same like the option enableRearLoading="true" on the back of a trailer.
Best Regards

I tried this: (added to UniversalAutoload.lua Line 1754)

		`local frontPickupTrigger = {}
		frontPickupTrigger.node = I3DUtil.getChildByName(triggersRootNode, "frontPickupTrigger")
		if frontPickupTrigger.node ~= nil then
			frontPickupTrigger.name = "frontPickupTrigger"
			link(spec.loadVolume.rootNode, frontPickupTrigger.node)
			
			local squareSide = spec.loadVolume.length+spec.loadVolume.width
			local width, height, length = squareSide, 2*spec.loadVolume.height, 0.01*squareSide

			setRotation(frontPickupTrigger.node, 0, 0, 0)
			setTranslation(frontPickupTrigger.node, 0, 0, 0.8*(length+spec.loadVolume.length)/2)
			setScale(frontPickupTrigger.node, width, height, length)

			table.insert(spec.triggers, frontPickupTrigger)
			addTrigger(frontPickupTrigger.node, "ualLoadingTrigger_Callback", self)
		end`

This works for me at the moment - maybe you have a another or better idea ... ?

Sorry I read this on my phone and couldn't figure out what you had done, then completely forgot about replying! I've just looked again on my PC, and I'm still not quite sure what you have changed.

There is already an option to do this, but you should only have front or rear loading active for any one vehicle. Just use frontUnloadingOnly="true" in the options (in your local mod setttings file) for whatever vehicle you need it on.

That looks like it refers to unloading, is there any way to add a front loading option to a trailer?
I am trying to use the Fahr Apn baler mod, and have the bales load onto a trailer, but I cant get it to stack the bales when they come from the front.
