Good day Trainzers.
I'm asking for some explanations on how to properly test session rules, and I'm posting in the TRS19 forum wondering if there's any bug in the 103369 release I'm using.
I'm playing with session creation, very basic level without scoring, but I want to show instructions and waypoints while following a very simple list of tasks to be completed in sequence.
This is when I am hitting a brick wall......
I'm trying to use the "Ordered List" rule, whose childs are simple messages and navigation rules.
- Ordered list rule
--1) message 1
--2) nav point(s) 1
--3) message 2
--4) nav point(s) 2
...etc
When completed, I save the session and move from surveyor to quickdrive via CTRL+F2, and all messages and waypoints appear to show.
BUT....if I return to surveyor, make some changes and resave and restart the quickdrive, no waypoint shows up and apparently the rule flow is stuck at message 1 (i.e. the first rule after the ordered list), as it doesn't say "complete" if I return to surveyor again.
The same happens if I exit and just drive the session directly after the changes.
To clarify what my steps are:
- I reset the rules and select the first one on top before moving to quickdrive.
- If I use nested rules (and not the ordered list rule) everything works as intended, but the 5th or 6th task rule group is going to exit the right border of the window......
I noticed that in the message popup there is every single message from the first quickdrive run onward, and if I delete and rebuild the first nav rule it shows up again in the next first test (and becomes lost in the subsequent ones again).
The same buildup of messages can be seen in the normal driver session, if opened after the second/third/etc save.
(I didn't test a driver session after the first build and save, as that would break the usefulness of the CTRL+F2 switch expecially in large routes).
Is there something I'm missing here? Do i need any magic in Content Manager? Or just summon Thor and Mjolnir to give some "rebuild" to my desktop?
