Triggers-radius or diameter?

[justinroth]

feet or meters? I cannot seem to get a consistent result.

1) It is a radius, centered on the trigger/trackmark location (TS12+SP1 added a very handy semi-transparent shape - red for trackmarks, green for triggers - showing its extent along the track);

2) The radius is expressed in meters; the default value is 20 meters = 65.6 feet.

3) You can set the radius down to 0.01 meters (3/8"), but don't set it at 0 (the game will not recognize it).

 

[justinroth]

so it is radius. So say, a setting of 30 meters would be a diameter of 60 meters of coverage?

 

[Pendolino]

Exactly.

Another hint: the trigger is only activated when the center of the first or last car in the consist enters the radius of the trigger.

You wont get a consistent result because speed and placement of bogey's and braking affect the stopping point of any loco/consist.

Thanks, this cleared up my confusion!

I'm not seeing that. Does it have to be turned on somewhere? (Edit: disregard - I'm thinking of industry triggers).
