Wait Until Not Red

[Scottbe8]

So what I'd like to do is add a command to an AI train that tells it to wait until the next signal is Yellow or better. Right now, I have two assets that claim to do that, but there's a problem with each.

The first is called "Wait until not red",<KUID2:192081:7:1>. It seems to also be a "Wait until not yellow" rule.

The second is called "Wait until not red signal",<KUID2:151055:100102:1>. Its interface is entirely in Russian.

Is there another command that does what I want and is in English? Or can someone verify that the Russian asset works?

Also, is there a command that tells the train to wait until a certain stretch of track is clear?

You could use Path Control (available here) By setting this up and blocking a junction, a second AI train won't be able to set its path until the first train (the one blocking the junction) has cleared its path.

I tried that. The first train sets up the path but is unable to enter the path.

Hi Scottbe8 - In TS2010 the Russian command works, the one by brummfondel seems to have a problem, although it used to work in earlier versions.

You can change the Russian text by editing the config file, the tags are in English. The first option is the one to use. The second one has to do with the Russian Z7 path-finding system which is too complicated to understand.

The command works by searching ahead of the train until it finds a signal. If a junction is set against the path then the search does not find a signal, so assumes the track is clear and terminates the wait command.

The Russian command seems to be modeled on the original by brummfondel with modifications.
I used Google Translate to work out what the Russian text means but it isn't quite as simple as a straight substitution.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I decided to go with the "ControlTrackAtTrackmark" and "FreeTrackAtTrackmark" commands instead. It keeps the track clear for a single train at a time. Works at the Mapleview Extension, Millbury, Millhurst/Logan Trestle, Gladston/Port, and Palmer Yard.

Are you using AutoDrive with Path Control? I'm having no problems using either rule in TS12.

I've noticed that AI drivers have difficulty controlling multiple junctions simultaneously.
