Is there a way for switches not to lock?

Hello!

Is there a way for switches not to lock?

Thanks!

You can preset a junction so that it cannot be controlled by the AI, the player, or both.

See the Trainz Wiki at How_to_Control_Junctions_in_Sessions and, for details on the Session Rule involved, also see Session_Rules_By_Categories_With_Properties#Set_Junctions_Rule

Thank you for your answer! I am not sure if I do something wrong or maybe this is not what I was looking for. The question I have was about switches locking when a train is near them

Apart from the Set Junction Rule, there is no way that I am aware of.

But if a train approaching a switch didn't lock it then it could be changed while that train is still crossing it with rather disastrous results.

You can adjust the junction trigger radius in Surveyor 1 using this method;

It doesn't stop it locking completely (for reasons mentioned by Martinvk above) but you can set it to be much smaller than the default 20m, so that it won't lock until the train is much closer.

I often set the radius to 1m in tight areas with short clearances

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

If I recall correctly, the whole thing with the junctions locking has been a thing since Trainz 12.

Yes, and the AI seem to be more aggressive since the introduction of TLR.
