Information on adding driver commands can be found at:-ĭrive To Trackmark and Drive Via Trackmark commands will NOT force the AI to find a clear path to the Track Marker if the shortest path is blocked They can also be used as the targets for Navigation Points and coupling operations. The most common use for Track Markers is as destinations for driver commands or as "way points" to direct a train to a destination via one or more intermediate places.
Once you have a Trigger Radius entered in the value box, you can apply it to any number of Track Markers by using method shown above The new value will be immediately applied to the selected Track Marker as the mouse moves (but only one marker at a time).Hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse forward (to increase the value) or backwards (to reduce the value).Click on the Track Marker that is to receive the new value (you can click on more than one).To apply a value in the Trigger Radius value box (from methods, or ) to another Track Marker Type the new value (in metres) into the Trigger Radius value box.Click the Track Marker whose radius you want to copy - the radius will be copied into the Trigger Radius value box (the default value is 20.00 metres).To copy the current Trigger Radius of an existing Track Marker You then have a choice of methods to set and adjust the Trigger Radius of Track Markers Click this button to open the Track Marker advanced tool set.
"Maintown Track 1 North")Īt the bottom of the Track Tools flyout menu is an Advanced button.
Most creators base the name on the location (e.g. When placed, the properties window for the Track Marker will appear.Įnter a name for the Track Marker and, if needed, select a layer.Įnter a useful name for each Track Marker - the name will be needed for driver commands. Click on the track location where the Track Marker is to be placed.Select the + (add) button - it may already be selected.The direction that a Track Marker is pointing has NO EFFECT on its operation This controls how close an AI controlled train has to approach the marker its Trigger Radius (the red "wings" shown in the image below, the radius value is shown below the marker name).its name which is needed for all commands and rules that use the Track Marker, and.Information on Route and Session layers can be found at:-Ī Track Marker has two important properties:. This can be useful if two or more Sessions are being created and you want to use different Track Marks (destinations and waypoints) in each Session. Placing Track Markers in a Session layer means that they will only be available in that Session. in the same layer as the track) means that they will be available in all Sessions created using that particular Route. Placing Track Markers in a Route layer (e.g. Track Markers can be placed in a Route layer or in a Session layer Trainz relies heavily on Track Markers to direct trains around a layout under the control of the AI system. The direction that the marker is pointing has absolutely NO EFFECT on its operation They have no effect on manually controlled trains Track Markers only work on AI controlled trains. They are used as destinations or waypoints for AI driver commands Note, there are three 60mph TSRs en route today due to tunnel upgrades and also it's very busy on the network this morning so you may get held behind other services.Track Markers are red coloured track objects that are invisible in Driver Mode but visible in Surveyor Mode.
