Panic stop to a train

[IRRE_Golgoth21]

Hi,

 

I want to stop a train if a bridge is destroyed.  it works for every vehicules but the train.

I use waypoints to trigger the panic stop if the bridge is destroy ( copyright to coconut).

Any idea ? Thank you in advance.

My guess it would be like any other waypoint?... put a different waypoint right before the bridge to simulate the crew seeing the bridge out and acting as a station, and deactivate the original waypoint on a bridge destroyed/damage thing. Bridge gets destroyed, sends destroyed trigger to deactivate original waypoint, add timer to activate new "end" waypoint, train comes to a stop. If it is too close to stop, it goes off end of destroyed track :D

Remember to make your Stop command far enough away from the point where you want the train to actually stop to allow it to slow down and stop. Try these settings from the Manual (p70).

The train slows down and stops after reaching the waypoint, so place the waypoint
before the point where you want the train to stop. The following table tells you roughly
how far to place the waypoint before the stop point for selected train speeds:
Train Speed (kph) Distance of Waypoint Before Stop Point (m)
20 5
30 37
40 74
50 113
60-80 142
For example, if the train speed is 40 kph, place the waypoint 74 m before the stop point
that you want. Test the train stop point and adjust the waypoint placement if you want.

Great.... it works, without command formation. just like you said.... Perfect... The train restart once the bridge is repaired.  Thanks a lot for the advices.
