Editing the Driver List
When drivers and trains have been added to the rule, it will appear as shown below.
|
Adding Driver Commands
The grey area below the driver details (name, loco, owner) is the Driver Command Bar. This is where the driving instructions (the "train orders") used by the Trainz AI system are given to the driver.
Shown below is a Driver Command Bar after two driver commands have been added. Each command has its own icon. Move the mouse pointer onto a command icon to reveal a tooltip showing the contents of the command, as shown in the image. |
|
|
Deleting Driver Commands
To remove a command from the Driver Command Bar...
|
The "Repeat" Command
The "Repeat" command is a special built in command that allows all the driver commands to be repeated endlessly. |
|
|
|
|
Copying the Driver Setup Rule
The Driver Setup Rule (and other rules) can be copied between Sessions |

Steps:
|
|
|
|
Driver Command Rule
Main Points: | |
The Driver Command Rule controls which Driver Commands will be available in a Session. This applies to both:-
|
|
Removing commands such as Navigate To will force players to manually drive trains when in Driver Mode instead of allowing them to use the Trainz AI system to do all the work. |
The Driver Command Rule is automatically added to the Session Editor of every Session.
|
The Rule properties window will open to show all the Driver Commands that have been installed in Trainz on your system. This list includes the commands that are built in and those that have been downloaded from the DLS.
