Describe the issue

Roller coasters can build chain lift on steep and vertical downhill track, even when the All Chainlift cheat is disabled, on rides that do not have sprites for these chainlifts.

Down25ToDown60: chain button is enabled and works.
Down60: chain button is enabled and works.
Down60ToDown90: chain button is enabled, but clicking it does not toggle it on.
Down90: chain button is enabled and works. Chain is toggled off when switching to this piece. Chain is not toggled off after building.
Down90ToDown60: chain button is enabled and works.

Tested with giga track and B&M track.
