Something similar to Multiple Signal Control Rule

[FrankZ]

I think every serious Trainz CC knows the rule "Multiple Signal Control" which is referenced by many tutorials for diamond crossings and more.

In my current layout im looking for something similar. To be precisely, i need this rule combined with conditions. I need a Multiple Signal Control rule that is trigger by a train (green trigger) and sets signals at danger but only if wye XXX is set to x and wye YYY is set to y. Otherwise it should do nothing and keep the signals in automatic mode.

Is there anything similar in the DLS i didnt find yet? Any idea?

Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank

The only rule that I am aware of to enable you to do what you want to achieve is the SCS2006 rule. This allows you to use variables combined with IF ...ELSE...END IF commands to make decisions for the AI. In your example above you would be able to set a variable to a value dependant on the direction of the junctions and then use "Set Signal State" commands to force the relevant signals to red.

It does require time to get to grips with SCS2006 but it is the only rule that I have found which allows decision making in this way.

Thank you for your hint, but to be honest i couldn't figure out how to set it up.

I've found 'Multi Path Control v5' which i can use to set all junctions and signals the way i want them to, the only problem is, that i have to specify to which train it will be applied. I'm looking into the code atm to find out the corresponding code and delete this condition.

Check this out by Boat. It works great. http://www.boatztrainz.co.uk/page4.htm

Well ASB won't help. I am trying to signal this layout.

Anyway I was able to modify the "Multiple Path Control v5" rule, so it detects all trains approaching to my crossing. There is only one Problem left. It doesn't seem to work with FCCA Signals as it can't set them to danger.

It works with all other signals. Any idea?
