			==Overview==
			TNIControls is a singleton system within Trainz native code. It is initialised at game startup (if supported by the install, and enabled by the player), and will automatically locate and load any installed TNI controls plugin assets. Such assets will then have their plugin DLLs loaded into the same TNIContext as TNIControls itself, where the plugins can locate hardware devices, register them, and provide control inputs.

			TNIControls itself is entirely thread safe, and may be loaded and called at any time from within a controls plugin DLL, using the [[TNI_Core_Interface#TNIContext\|TNIGetContextLibrary]] function. The specific function calls supported by TNIControls are detailed in the next section.

TNIControls is a builtin TNILibrary within Trainz which allows [[KIND tni-controls-plugin|controls plugin]] assets to communicate their control input to Trainz. These commands can then be bound to in-game functions by the player, via the standard control settings UI.

This subsystem is part of [[TrainzNativeInterface]], the core of which is further detailed [[TNI Core Interface|here]].
