Should be possible. My concern is that accomplish this I basically need to create a transparent window that fills the screen which would then display the drops. Now this window will prevent clicking on the HUD or anything else in game. Unless I can find a way to make the window also immune to clicks and always "unfocused"

I don't think it matters because your ability to write scripts far outweighs creating objects. There are many who to various degrees can create objects but as said elsewhere very few who can do scripts.
The two things I would like to see relating to scripts:
1 - Better tutorials
Badly needed, most of what is available has to do with writing scenarios and that is not really supported anymore. I still have problems interpreting some of the errors that show up in Trainz when I try to use a script such as two auto-numbering ones I tried recently, I have had this confusion since TRS2004. Giving people some way of encouraging them to understand the script errors and perhaps try script-writing themselves thus increasing the community's number of script writers rates as #1.
2 - Combination auto-number and fuel script.
Would have tried myself if not for #1. I know of a couple of auto-number scripts but as above cannot get them to work. I know of one freeware fuel script. But given my problem figuring this stuff out, I dread trying to combine them though I would like to.
That's all I am interested in now but #1 alone could eliminate #2.
It would be cool if you could figure something out like that, i reckon it would look great to have some raindrops form on your screen, add to the realism alot
. Was having a think about this, I'm not sure if anyone has done this yet or not, but is there someway of getting the trains to come out of portals already loaded?Its a bummer to only be able to run empty container and coal trains.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure, it definitely has an accurate count down in minutes to when the next tram is arriving. There was another route around, based on the Berlin underground which i have which actually gives an announcement (in German) that the train is approaching and where its going.

I think Smileyman has this one covered already.

I thought you could already do that?

Steve, welcome back.
I know this sounds like drudgery but at least it would be strictly script-oriented, no mesh/model creation needed. As I wander through my TRS2004 assets and try to get them into TS2010, I notice quite a number bomb out due to script errors/incompatibilities with TS2010. Some of these assets - various Rules and so forth - were really useful in '04 and it's a shame to see them become unworkable in '10. So my request would be that you scan the legacy stuff which has script errors and fix those that you can. Auran/N3V might be able to advise you on the copyright issues, but I'd hope it could be done under the same banner as the great DLS clean-up.

Hey Steve do you know how to script a trackside object so that when i pass by it a certain sound file would play? Or even do you know how to make a script that embankes track?
I like single track mainlines. What would be cool is a way to trigger the AI to take the passing siding and wait for a green. I took a look at scripting and it's all Chinese algebra to me.
Once you, or the AI, enters into a block between passing sidings, it would be great the next signal you see directs you into the siding. Or, when you come to the next passing siding, the AI will be waiting on the passing track. Would add a lot of realism I think.
I'm not one to ask for anything from creators. Just wondering if something like that would be possible. The routes I build are single tracked. The rule to trigger a stop helps. One to direct you or the AI into a siding would be great.
Another is how the AI "holds" a switch in front of it causing you to have to stop and take control of the meet to get the trains through. I appreciate how you asked if someone wants something. Again, not being a gimme. Just thought these two quirks could be addressed through scripting. Wouldn't break my heart if someone to a look at these since I lack the know how.

Hi,
Apologies for delay in replying. PSU packed up on my computer.
I,ve had a good look at the Frankfurt route and as far as I can determine it does'nt do what I had in mind. As far as I can see the departure boards are pre-menued and only react to specific trains.
What I had in mind was a departure board/s with text attachment points, the text being generated by whatever the Destination Board on the approaching train was.
Cheers, John

Use the InstantLoad and InstantUnload Driver commands.
InstantLoad,<kuid2:67585:1017:1>
Built-in to TS10, also available on the
DLS for earlier versions.
Description:
Instantly load a train - useful for trains generated automatically by portals etc. Each product queue found in each industry-activated car will be loaded to its maximum. InstantLoad will not load locos or loco tenders

Sorry, i must have misunderstood what you were asking for
at least that gives Sforget something to do to benefit the community Brilliant, thanks I'll give that a go
One of my favorite and most often used assets is your Central Portal Control. I use this on almost every route I build. It's so convenient to have all the portals in one place in addition to being able to emit a train immediately and in sequential order.
One problem I have is that rolling stock placed in the Central Portal Control does not show up as a dependentacy for the route. Maggs has the 'Portal Dependencies' asset <2:116:387:34:1> which works well if you are just using the built in Auran Portals but it does not interact with your asset.
Is it possible to give the Central Portal Control the same functionality? This would solve 90% of my problems when I migrate my routes into newer Trainz versions.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Nice to see you poking your nose in here again, Steve.
What I would like to see is a way to prioritize trains based on the consist instead of by which track they're on. I think with this, coal trains will be forced to give-way to hot-shot freights and passenger trains that share the same route.

Hello sforget
I didn't see your thread before, so i'm a little late.
For better informations what is going in the session i use this combination:
Message console rule
Trigger rule
-MC add message
This are 2.7 buld rules.
1. In TS10/12 problem arise, when you make the break and save the session and later return through 'Saved sessions', because the rules are not shows anymore.
2. Setting this rules is a little time-consuming, because it demand to set the rules for any trigger separate. Is it possible to make some kind of list, table, where we can put in all informations in one place at once (like inputtable).
Please sforget, be so kind and look, what it is possible to do.
regards
celje
