Industry Question/Pondering's.

[JIb228]

So as I see it, if you spot a car on an interactive industry to be loaded or unloaded, it gets loaded or unloaded instantly. Now this is okish if you know what your doing and just want to spot one or two cars and get them later. But I am setting up an session and Id like to have it so when a car is spotted on an industry track it will get loaded or unloaded in a set amount of time.

Now what Im asking, is there a way to set up an industry to work like that? Is there a rule or script needed?

And, is there a way of making a whole stretch of track, like from trigger to trigger, an industry?

My idea is to have a long building that loads box cars, but most of the industry tracks I have found only hold two cars. And my idea of operating this route, at least in MP mode, is that one crew would drop off cars to be loaded, and another would come back later and pick up.

Simple answer is yes it can be done. Not so simple is explaining how it is done. In content manager search author name maddy25 and llj. down load the PL industry tracks. Now place the one you want on your route and build the industry buildings around it along with a loading dock. You only need one car of the long train to set on the industry track and all of the cars will load after the delay time you set. You can set it to load all cars a once or one car at a time with a delay between cars. To set this click on objects then the ? then the industry track. Hope this gets you going. Carl

ProtoLARs (PL for short) should be able to do everything you mention. Take a look at Phil Skene's tutorial (http://www.worldoftrainz.com/Pages/Tutorials_TRS2004/LARS-ProtoLARS-TutTRS.htm) for starters.
