Experement testing day bump.
Okay, I have motivated myself to do an experement with another map (yes, even the replica of the network was a bit too complex for my knoledge).
And my query is "how do you get rules to loop".
The reason I ask that is because I made a simple train go round a simple track on a single baseboard (radius of the curve if 350m, multiply that by 2 and add 20 is 720, which is the baseboard size.)
I aslso Placed 4 signals where the track met the edge and named one signal "signal" and assigned rules to it (Yes, 1 does the job).
I then placed 2 triggers on the opposite sides of the map (2 signals appart) and named them "Signal 1 Trigger" and "Signal 1 Trigger 2" with "Signal 1 Trigger" setting the signal to danger and "Signal 1 Trigger 2" Setting the signal to another aspect (in this case, Automatic).
A train was sent around the circuit on autopilot with no specific destination in mind, so it would travel endlessley around this circle of track.
Then I set the rules as Shown in

The reason it has to be greater then 1 is if it has more aspects (and if I choose to expand on it, thus I would have 0 for danger, 1 for caution, 2 for advanced caution and 3 for clear).
The Signal D state states whether the signal is at the danger state (the signal P state and the Signal D state is different as the Signal D State reflects the current Signal state, also known as the current signal indication, the Signal P state reflects Whether the signal Should be at Danger or another aspect According to the current rules, it doesn't reflect the Current Signal Indication).

The Problem is the Rules Do activate in the correct order, but they only activate once, meaning that once the train goes round the full circle once, the Layout Breaks down, making signal 1 fail in the automatic position as well as the variables stop changing.
This is linked to the lowfell layout in the aspect that the variables could assist with the correct route indication as well as solve problems over time.

SOme Suggesstions please.
By the way, how is everyone else going with the experementing?
P.S. I start my experemnts with something simple and expand on it, that's why I chose a simple circle.
P.P.S. With the ATLS system, I need to have signals with boat's ATLS script, trainz will not allow me to edit that in into their built-in signals.
Added:
Due to recent circumstances, I am now terminating the Vale Rale project and everythig relating to the route.
It has truely been a pleasure trying to get rosworth vale up to AI standards.
