Trigger Help

[railsong]

I am running TS12 and am running my trains in AI. I have a train on a siding and when it moves from the siding I want it to trigger another train on a different siding to start his journey. The reason for this is that when the first train completes his commands he will park on the second trains siding track. The second train will park at a yard when he has completed his commands. I'm not sure if I need some kind of a trigger rule or what. Hope this doesn't sound to confusing..... Thanks.....

Hi railsong --

I did a similar thing on a route and session that I uploaded to the Download Station some time ago. Look for the route and session called:

AI switching demonstration TS12
​

It uses triggers to control AI trainz. This video shows the session:

In your session you may have to go into "Edit Session Rules" (top left), in the new screen Edit for "Driver Commands", and then add some additional rules, for example, "WaitForTrigger".

Tell me if this helps.

Yeah, Phil that is just what I needed. It works OK now. The only thing is that when I entered the loco of the first train that will pass the trigger it didn't work, but when I entered "any train" for the trigger it worked. Wonder why? Do you have to name the loco for it to work? Sure appreciate the help. Thanks much.....
