New Driver Command: Play Horn up to 10 times

[trainz2010vinny]

sir, Instead of putting efforts on making directional triggers. you should have 2 Triggers 1) IN TRIGGER 2) OUT TRIGGER. Train will continue to play long horn until it leaves out Trigger. similar to ATLS functioning .
OR
SHORTCUT: Make it compatible with ATLS content

Well done FFCCNN

great addition these hornz will for sure give them a honorable place on my tracks as soon as I have time for that and include in my next updates.
Very well done indeed.

thanks for sharing

You don't see me much in here, but I was looking into the Hornz and Bellz issue, and wanted to know how to get them to work the way I want. As for the Hornz.......

We all know that Railways in america use the horn similar to Morse Code, which is made up of -'s and . or Longs and shorts. Now since I am not familiar with scripting in trains, don't blame me if I am speaking out of turn. But I would suggest something like this.

A new Hornz routine which will allow an input of the type of Horn/Whistle you want. ie...A Xing whistle.

Input "--.- for a crossing

When a command for the horn is requested, a loop like this... Pardon me if I try to use Visual Basic type of Scripting
String Input "--.-"

For I = 1 to len(Input)
If mid$(Input$,I,1) = "-" then gosub Long else if
Mid$(Input$,I,1="." then gosub short
End if
next I
Exit

Sub Short
For I = 1 to (the number of seconds to hold the H key down)
Press Key "H"
Next I
Return

Sub Long
For I = 1 to (the number of seconds to hold the H key down)
Press Key "H"
Next I
return

Limit the length of the input string and you can set up any number of Coding for a whistle for just about any situation.

I know my VB is rusty since it has been a long time since using it, but I am sure you get the idea. The same could possibly be done for Bellz as was already suggested.
