SmartSignal

  • sets the rotation of the signal head
  • MeshObject a signal is a signal asset
  • plovák headDeflection is the deflection angle in degrees
C++: Folat
static class SmartSignalCommon
{
	public void SetHeadDeflection(MeshObject signal, float headDeflection)
	{
		float angle = headDeflection * (Math.PI/180);
		if(signal.HasMesh("head_1")) {signal.SetMeshOrientation("head_1", 0, 0, angle);}
		if(signal.HasMesh("head_2")) {signal.SetMeshOrientation("head_2", 0, 0, angle);}
		if(signal.HasMesh("head_3")) {signal.SetMeshOrientation("head_3", 0, 0, angle);}
	}
  • sets the letters of the signal tables
  • p_name: is a mesh board
  • p_color: it must be an alphabetical set of textures listing 1-26, 27-36 because the numbers '0' are empty
  • p_value: is a letter (only one letter is accepted and the string will be truncated to one letter)

Basic property types for all SmartSignals in Surveyor

C++
	public string SSPropertyTypes(string pID)
	{
		string result;
		if (pID[,6] == "sigNum") result = "string,1,5";
		else if (pID[,8] == "powerNum") result = "int,0,9999,1";
		else if (pID[,9] == "plateType") result = "list";
		else result = "link";
		return result;
	}

Creates an HTML slider

C++: GetSliderHTML
  string GetSliderHTML(string name, int min, int max)
  {
    // Generate a html slider using a horizontal scroll bar
    string html;
    html = html + "<a href='live://property/" + name + "'>";
    html = html + "  <trainz-object id='" + name + "' style=slider horizontal theme=default-slider width=200 height=20 min=" + min + " max=" + max + " page-size=1 draw-line=1 draw-marks=1>";
    html = html + "  </trainz-object>";
    html = html + "</a>";
    return html;
  }

Unbound control

C++: unbonded check
		if ((type == "06" or type == "06prr") and (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showPathUI",false)))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/detBond", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("unbonded",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_unbonded") + "</p>");
		}

Activate limited speed

C++: enable limited speed
	  if (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showPathUI",false) and (!properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("unbonded",false)) and (
	  	     type == "06"
	  	  or type == "08"
	  	  or type == "08-1"))
    {
    	Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/limited", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("limitedSpeed",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_limited_speed") + "</p>");
    }

Show approach or clear

C++: show advance approach or clear
		if (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showAdvAppUI",false))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/advanceApp", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("advanceApp",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_advance_app") + "</p>");
		}

C++: restricting display
		if (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showRestrictingUI",false))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/restricting", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("allowRestricting",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_restricting") + "</p>");
		}

Zoom in on lighting and channel

Show clearly when idle

C++: show clear when idle
if(  (type == "03")
			or (type == "04")
			or (type == "05")
			or (type == "06")
			or (type == "06D"))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/idleClear", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("idleClear",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_idle_clear") + "</p>");
		}

Stop type

C++
		if (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showPRRstop",false))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/stopType", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("stopType",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_prr_stop_type") + "</p>");
		}

The train orders a light

Setting the tables and markers for the signal

Marking

C++
		if (properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("showMarkerUI",false))
		{
			Buffer.Print("<p>" + HTMLWindow.CheckBox("live://property/marker", properties.GetNamedTagAsBool("marker",false)) + m_textStrings.GetString("cfg_marker") + "</p>");
		}

Number plate

Termination of HTML

C++: End HTML
		Buffer.Print("</font></body></html>");
		return Buffer.AsString();
	}


Basic user interface for all SmartSignals in the controller


Common logic section of signals

Block distance to the next absolute signal

  • Param: start....The signal to start from
  • Param: searchDirection.....Which direction to search. 'False' == behind the signal, 'True' == before the signal.
  • Param: numSignalsToCheck.....Number of signal blocks to scan. 0 for any.
  • Param: maxDistance.....How far on the track chart to search for a train

It checks if the block is active and returns a reference to the train if found.

The train does not need to move to activate the block.

Find the closest approaching train for a specific signal

The train must move towards or in the direction of the signal and stop.
