how to use AI operations??

[jamal17]

can somebody demonstrate to me or tell me how to do the AI operations for my trains

This tutorial is fantastic.
http://trains.0catch.com/tutorial.html
It covers just about everything to do with Trainz, but you will need a lot of paper if you want to print it all out.
And yes, it does cover AI operations.

so basically the first command i'm going to use is the autodrive command and everything goes for itself

 

[daveinblock4]

There are so many other commands. Basically you will need to have track markers at various places where you want you trains to stop, You should give names to each of the track markers so that you can easily identify which is which (e.g. "Anytown Station Platform 1" or "Anothertown siding number 3"). You can then use a series of "Navigate to" or "Drive to" commands to send your trains to those places (the points will automatically change).
AI commands is a vast subject and this is just an example of what you can do. You really need to try the tutorial to find out more.
More driver commands are available on the DLS and even commands to control turntables etc.

......AI commands is a vast subject.......

About the understatement of the year Dave !

Jamal17 - Just try putting down one trackmark and then giving a driver a "Drive to Trackmark" command to that trackmark for starters.

To do this select a driver (in driver mode) and click the small green arrow on the bar at the bottom of the screen for a selection of commands.

You can add more commands to the selection by going into Surveyor mode "Route" > "Edit Session" > "Menu" > "Edit Session" and then "Driver Commands" > "Add".

Have a play and have fun ! (It will take you a while to get the hang of things - but don't worry - post back if you get stuck).
