Signal Command

[ranger4919]

Is there a command that can change the state of a signal?

Yes depending on what it is you are trying to do.

I want to create a session where the train stops at a station to pickup passengers. Before proceeding the train waits for a green light at the signal ahead.

Wait until not red. Its a driver command and will keep a train standing still until the next signal turns green. The only other signals that I know that you can change is the sen city ones used with ATLS.

Thanks for that information . I'll try to use that command

I think you will find the signal will never turn green with that command. The AI has to be looking for a trackmark beyond the signal to make it turn green and if there is a "wait until not red" command he will not be looking beyond the signal. The best way I have found is to place an invisible junction beyond the station, have it default to the dead end and protect it with a 04 signal. Doing that the train will enter the station with the signal red and after loading the junction and therefore the signal will change when the train is finished loading and looking for the next destination or trackmark.

Cheers,

Issue a "Wait Until" time command after the load command, any signal if red will remain red until the specified time set in the "Wait Until" command. Provide of course no other train is passing your stopped train.
