Train shouldn't leave early...

[hkoster1]

I'm trying to make a set of rules so that a train arriving at a station leaves at some scheduled time (10:00 say),
OR 1 minute after arrival, whichever later. Being a noob, I've been wrestling with "Timecheck", "Variable Modify"
and "Variable Check" rules, but nothing seems to work. Am I trying to reinvent the wheel? If so, perhaps someone
has a few pointers...

A related question: must a variable (like "delayed_arrival") be created before using "Variable Modify" on it? If so,
how does one create such a variable?

Signed,

Exasperated.

The Wait until Hour and Wait until Minute driver commands (which are on the Download Station) may help here.

Hi

This is quite easy to do using the conditional commands in SCS2006. You would need code something like this

If Game Time less than 9:59
Wait Until 10:00
If Else
Wait For 60 (seconds)
If End

In case you have never heard of it before the SCS2006 rule replaces all other rules and driver commands. It contains a considerable number of commands, many of which aren't available through other means. However the rule was broken by the multiplayer versions of 2010 and 2012 and so is unusable in those. It does work up to and including 2010 build 44088 but as I have never used the Mac version I have no idea of whether it will work in that. It is on the DLS but I must warn you that it has a considerable learning curve. If you decide to have a look at it there is a comprehensive manual also on the DLS which should be downloaded as a dependency of the rule and it may be worth having a read through that before deciding if it is for you.

Interesting... I'll look into it, thanks.
