ATLS Triggered Lift Bridge

[WCRULEZ]

I've been searching for one the past few days, but can't seem to find one, does anyone know of an ATLS triggered lift bridge? The one I have now lowers right when the train is right on top of the bridge, and it doesn't look very good have a train crossing the bridge after it closed 10 seconds before hand

I believe if you detach the bridge from the approaching tracks and connect it to an atls slave you can control it this way by placing atls triggers and treating it like a crossing. You'll have to rejoin the approaching tracks with invisible track.

The ATLS advanced demo has a lift bridge that works in such a way. It depends on the default state of the bridge at the start. Place normal track to each side of the bridge, don't connect, and join them together with invisible track. Use the straighten tool on the invisible track and move the spline points to align with the bridge track. Place your ATLS triggers on the track. Connect a slave with invisible track to the bridge track, you can use the train track but connect to the boat track may be easier. The slave you use could be the normal slave or the inverse slave. If bridge is raised at default use an inverse slave on the train track to keep it lowered. Use a normal slave on the boat track if the default is lowered.
