My first steps..

[TobiasM0815]

 

Hello,

I'm taking my first steps in Lua and I'm having a lot of fun. I don't really have any programming skills, but it's all logical.

However, after a few hours of tinkering I've reached a problem where I'm stuck.

The goal: After I arrive with my locomotive behind signal E114 in Lazy and have coupled it to the wagons, a route is to be set after ZEW1. However, the SignalTrigger does not recognize my stopping locomotive.

Enclosed is the code, with a request for help. Perhaps someone can see the problem at first glance. Thank you for your help!

Heya!
So: signal triggers are interconnected with game refresh rate (track one are not). So giving just 5m can not catch it properly (I usually use at least 130m))
But beside of it - your code should work just fine 🙂

Thank you for your answer!

I have increased the range to 130. Unfortunately it does not work. 

"ScenarioStep" seems to remain at the value "neutral" and is not changed to "LAcoupled", so that the message "No action on radio call here" continues to appear at pressing ZEW1 after coupling to the cars.

I am at a bit of a loss. ^^

Ah.. I am not sure if you can execute trigger outside of primal functions - try to put it in StartScenario()

[TobiasM0815]

That was the problem. I put it in the primal function, then it worked! Thanks for your help!
