OK i am much closer to understanding how all of this work, as you all know it is not easy to track down all of the info ...but you all have been a huge help.
my final challenge is to be sure about how to make the Driver train. None of the lovely Aurun Tutorials go into this and the documentation neglects it too.
Am i right to assume the first train i place in a new Session (in session layer) i am creating IS the driver Train by default? and if i have that engine "activated" and then place track markers ahead and text triggers and objective triggers they will be "saved " to the Driver train? I understand the process of creating rules, and have read a number of times how some of the rules related to objectives but how to connect those objectives TO THE DRIVER TRAIN is what is mysterious still.
I also assume once we create an AI train and add a driver to it and then with it active place markers and give that driver commands at specific points along the route he/it will obey and carry them out....
so i am guessing whatever train(engine) we have selected, either Driver Train or AI train will obey the markers places with that engine actively selected?
and the Driver train alone will NOT have a actual driver assigned to it?
thanks for help on this this one point has bothered me for weeks and after digging thru the tutorials and online it still has not been answered enough for me to know what to do ..
thank you
I had created a meta base session with all of the yards populated and a number of trains already placed but i see if what i posted above is true, i will have to delete the placed train that i want to be the Driver train and also any intended AI trains and then go thru the steps of placing them or they will not be "seen" by the scripting process and connected to the commands and markers intended for them to carry out. Step by step.
