drivercommand Run Around

[sebastianbabik]

Hi,

I use Trainz 12 rev49922 a drivercommand called Run Around, but I don't like the fact that the locomotive goes to the car 4km\h and connects to the carriages 8km\h.
Is it possible to drive around 10km/h and join the carriages 4km/h ?

best regards
Sebastian

Yes, drive manually. Or take over in manual once everything is set up (junctions).

not by hand

Rally ?

Remember, always do it with your right hand if you absolutely want to do it manually
However, I am looking for a suitable script/rule or the possibility of changing values in software driving.

I was serious to a point; If you use the command to set the junctions, then it lessens your chances of a derailment, or searching for junctions in a crowded yard.

8km\h because it is too fast

friend,

I would like the moment of connecting the locomotive with the wagon to be 4km\h (pl)
not 8km\h because it is too fast

Hi Sebastian

You can achieve whatever coupling speed you want by using three driver commands, "ApproachToTrain","CoupleAhead" and "SetDCCThrottle". All are by author "atilabarut" and are either on the DLS or built in.

I use them like this:

SetDCCThrottle 0.45
ApproachToTrain 30
SetDCCThrottle 0.28
ApproachToTrain 10
SetDCCThrottle 0.18
CoupleAhead

I put these commands into a schedule in the Schedule Library and copy that schedule into any loco schedule that requires them.

The speeds and distances shown above are just a general suggestion and may need to be varied depending on your own situation as locos have different engine-specs, but they are a good starting point.

If you need a loco to run round a train you will have to schedule each leg of the run round separately and will most likely have to set the junctions with one of the path setting rules and/or commands but you have total command of the operation and the loco will not wander around looking for its train.

Thank you Brian,


Your detailed experience is very helpful.
I got to know your commands and tested them, but due to the complexity I decided to do it differently:


standard command - disconnect the wagon xxx
standard command - drive to the maneuvering point
standard command - drive to the maneuvering point on the other side to the appropriate track with the train
key command - auto connecting to the wagon on this track

The locomotive approaches the wagon without stopping,
brakes smoothly and engages very slowly.
Coupling is spectacular and real.
