Trigger on Track, Trigger Check Rule problems

[LIneAxe]

Ok, now this is confusing to me. When I just have a single Engine going Backwards down the track and it goes over one of the triggers , it recognizes it and triggers so the child rules will get executed. When I couple the Engine up to a Boxcar, and go down same section of track , it won't trigger and fire the child rules. How can I get it to recognize the Engine when it is couple to different boxcars, so I can get the Rule to execute.?

Do you have the trigger set for any train or the locomotive specifically?

 

[LIneAxe]

it is set to recognize a single locomotive. I have two like that , they each recognize a single locomotive. I need to tell the difference between the two of them , and what they are hooked up to.

I think I am going Loco ?

Man , this is so strange, sometimes , I get one Loco to fire trigger on track, but not the other. Then I test again, and can't get either to get the trigger to fire. Same Logic, simple I thought.

___TriggerCheck ( only activate when train is heading backwards,Triggers T1 & T2 ,Accept trains matching "F7A-1" )
_________Variable Modify (Add 1 to K1)

___TriggerCheck ( only activate when train is heading backwards,Triggers T1 & T2 ,Accept trains matching "F7A-2" )
_________Variable Modify (Add 1 to K2)

what is so strange is that , I had this actually doing the variable modify rule at one point. and then it stopped working. and then only worked on one , and then stopped again .. the locos have one Boxcar attached when I do the tests ...

Mystifying. Is the train actually going backwards? What I mean is: "Is the reverser in the forward or reverse position" or "Is the driver in the front or rear cab?

 

[LIneAxe]

I will check on that, I think he is in front , The train is in reverse.
It will trigger when it is by itself ,with no Boxcar. How do I check which position driver is, in a Southern F7A? Also, when you hook up , what position does the driver normally go to?

You haven't by any chance used the rule that only allows the child rule to activate once. Can't remember the name of the rule but it is there.

Good question, but the 'run one time only ' isn't checked. I checked

more backing up mystery.
When in AI mode , one LOCO gets tickets backing up on trigger ,which sets it off. The other AI locos don't trigger it, but they are included in the trigger settings. Then the player LOCO won't set it off either . I need to back up and think this one through. So I created 2 small loops with two of the locos and a Boxcar each. One of them triggers on its small loop. The other won't trigger. Trigger. Triiii gg ...g g e... I think I am blacking out .. tt tt t t .. :udrool:

I would be happy to take a look at it for you. I sent you a PM. Carl

Just a thought but have the trains all cleared out of the triggers radius? they won't reset if something is still within the trigger radius. :wave:

___TriggerCheck ( only activate when train is heading backwards,Triggers T1 & T2 ,Accept trains matching "F7A-1" )
_________Variable Modify (Add 1 to K1)

___TriggerCheck ( only activate when train is heading backwards,Triggers T1 & T2 ,Accept trains matching "F7A-2" )
_________Variable Modify (Add 1 to K2)

Every rule (trigger check) must support a different triggers, Example:

TriggerCheck1,Trigger T1, train "F7A-1" )
-Variable Modify

TriggerCheck2 ,Trigger T2 ,train "F7A-2" )
-Variable Modify

Trigger check start from begining on the left, only one step is child for variable modify

You know I just tested this . Using T1, T2, and so on, individually. It seems to be working so far this way.
I had it this way at first

trigger backwards:
using triggers:T1,T2,T3,T4
trigger on special:---Loco1,Loco2,Loco3,Loco4



---------------------
now I am using the following which does trigger now on the locos...



---------------------------------------

trigger backwards:
using triggers:T1
trigger on special:---Loco1,Loco2,Loco3,Loco4


trigger backwards:
using triggers:T2
trigger on special:---Loco1,Loco2,Loco3,Loco4
