Combining Station Names?

[Smitchalias]

Hey!

I'm creating the entire Melbourne metropolitan rail network and I was wondering if there is a way to combine station names?

Reason being is that because I have to use invisible stations as none of Melbourne's stations are on the DLS, I am creating separate platforms. For example, the Navigate To command would look something like this:
Navigate To >
S>
Seaholme > 1
Seddon [1] > 1
Seddon [2] > 2
Showgrounds > 1
South Kensington [1] > 1
South Kensington [2] > 2
South Yarra [1] > 1
South Yarra [2] > 2
South Yarra [3] > 3
South Yarra [4] > 4
South Yarra [5] > 5
South Yarra [6] > 6
Southern Cross [10] > 10
Southern Cross [11] > 11
Southern Cross [12] > 12
Southern Cross [13] > 13
Southern Cross [14] > 14
etc...

My question is: is there a way you can combine them so that they come up as one? For example:
Nagivate To:
S>
Seaholme
Seddon > 1/2
Showgrounds
South Kensington > 1/2
South Yarra > 1/2/3/4/5/6
Southern Cross > 10/11/12/13/14/etc..
etc...

It would be greatly appreciated if you can help me :3

Which invisible station are you using?

If it's the AJS ones, andi06 has a Call At command available for dealing with that.

Otherwise, the format is StationName[Platformrange] - for example, Station1[1-6].

That doesn't work :c

Should do - which invisible stations are you using?

[Smitchalias]

Uh, the ones that came with the game.

"invisible station 200m"

OK - they may behave differently.

I use the AJS Invisible stations (They come in 1 track,2 track, 4 track, 6 track and 8 track varieties)

Ugh, the AJS stations are confusing to use though.

Is there some sort of script I could use? Or edit the asset somehow?

What makes them confusing to use?

Andy has built into the stations the various options you may need such as platform names, etc. All you do is get properties on the station asset and it will give you a list of options for it.

The splines can be a bit tricky to attach, but if you don't want to do that, just lay the spline platforms over the invisible stations if you wish. I've actually taken older, non interactive stations, and used Andy's stations underneath. The only thing that was needed was to raise or lower the interactive station platforms a smidge.
