The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19, Trainz Plus and TRS22. It describes how to configure the various Navigation Point Rules.

Contents
BlueDot10x10.png Navigation Points are icons that appear at set track locations or on set rail vehicles that indicate destinations for user driven trains and tasks to be performed
BlueDot10x10.png The navigation points are created and controlled by the set of Session rules that are described in this document


LinkWiki.PNG For examples of how to use these rules in Trainz Sessions, see the Trainz Wiki Page at:-
  Top   Next Down Bottom

[edit] Navigation Display Rule

BlueDot10x10.png The Navigation Set Hide/Show Rule is added to a Session and configured using the WikiLink.PNG Session Editor in Surveyor
BlueDot10x10.png The WikiLink.PNG Navigation Display Rule creates and displays a set of Navigation Points


NotePad.PNG Notes:
DotPoint.JPG A navigation set must be created by the Navigation Display Rule before it can be used by the other navigation rules
DotPoint.JPG Multiple sets can be created by adding additional copies of this rule - one copy for each set
DotPoint.JPG This rule creates the navigation set and displays it. If you have created multiple sets then all of them will be displayed unless you use the Navigation Set Hide/Show Rule to hide those sets you do not want to be seen immediately


NavDisplaySetDialogUpper.JPG
NotePad.PNG Notes:
The Upper section of the Rule Dialogue Box identifies the Navigation Display Set and how it will operate
Gears.PNG Settings:
For the Navigation Set:
BlackDot10x10.png Set ID: Each Navigation Point Set must have a unique ID code. This consists of any text characters  EXCEPT  the SPACE character and UPPER CASE characters
BlackDot10x10.png Train (optional): You can add a specific locomotive that this Navigation Point set will be applied to
BlackDot10x10.png Navigation mode: Select one of three options:-
PortalOptionButtonEmpty.PNG All points must be completed in sequence - the order of the points listed below is the order in which they must be executed. No exceptions
PortalOptionButtonEmpty.PNG Points will be completed in sequence, but can be skipped - the order of the points below is the order in which they must be executed but points can be skipped. You cannot go back to complete a missed point
PortalOptionButtonEmpty.PNG All points must be completed but in any order - the order is not important but no points can be missed. All the Navigation Points in the set will be displayed when this option is selected
NavDisplaySetDialogLower.JPG
NotePad.PNG Notes:
The lower section of the Rule Dialogue Box defines the individual Navigation Points in this Navigation Display Set
Gears.PNG Settings:
For each Navigation Point:
BlackDot10x10.png Location: - this can be a trackmark, a trigger, track object or a rolling stock vehicle
BlackDot10x10.png Icon: - a graphic icon to be displayed representing the Navigation point. Icons are selected from a preset list
BlackDot10x10.png Display text: - a short message up to 25 characters long
BlackDot10x10.png Style: - the operational style of the Navigation Point. Select one of:-
BlackDot10x10.png Automatic - the Navigation Point will be completed and disappear when the consist reaches its location
BlackDot10x10.png Manual - the Navigation Point must be completed by another rule
BlackDot10x10.png Require Stop - the Navigation Point will be completed and disappear when the consist stops at its location
Navigation points can be added and deleted, but their order cannot be changed
BlackDot10x10.png Add Navigation Point - new points are added by a Left Click on the AddIcon.png icon. The new point will be inserted in the line below
BlackDot10x10.png Delete Navigation Point - existing points can be deleted by a Left Click on the DeleteIcon.png icon

[edit] Navigation Set Hide/Show Rule

BlueDot10x10.png The Navigation Set Hide/Show Rule is added to a Session and configured using the WikiLink.PNG Session Editor in Surveyor
BlueDot10x10.png The WikiLink.PNG Navigation Set Hide/Show Rule hides and displays the navigation sets created by the Navigation Display Rule
NavPointHideDialog.JPG
NotePad.PNG Notes:
All Navigation Sets created by the Navigation Display Rule are visible in Driver by default. If you want to hide any sets until they are needed then use this rule to Hide them immediately after the sets have been created.
Gears.PNG Settings:
BlackDot10x10.png Hide/Show: Left Click to select one of these two options:-
BlackDot10x10.png Hide will make the entire set invisible
BlackDot10x10.png Show will display the next navigation point or more depending on the Navigation Mode (see PageLink.PNG Navigation Display Rule above) that has been selected for this particular set
BlackDot10x10.png Set ID: The unique Navigation Point Set ID code for the set to be hidden or shown. This must be the same ID as entered in the PageLink.PNG Navigation Display Rule and consists of any text characters  EXCEPT  the SPACE character and UPPER CASE characters
  Top Next Up Next Down Bottom

[edit] Navigation Set Clear Rule

BlueDot10x10.png The Navigation Set Clear Rule is added to a Session and configured using the WikiLink.PNG Session Editor in Surveyor
BlueDot10x10.png The WikiLink.PNG Navigation Set Clear Rule clears or completes any uncompleted Navigation Points in a set created by the Navigation Display Rule


NavSetClearDialog.JPG
NotePad.PNG Notes:
Visible Navigation Sets will be cleared automatically when they have been completed. However, you can clear an unfinished set at any time using this rule.
Gears.PNG Settings:
BlackDot10x10.png Set ID: The unique Navigation Point Set ID code for the set to be cleared. This must be the same ID as entered in the PageLink.PNG Navigation Display Rule and consists of any text characters  EXCEPT  the SPACE character and UPPER CASE characters

[edit] Navigation Set Check Rule

BlueDot10x10.png The Navigation Set Check Rule is added to a Session and configured using the WikiLink.PNG Session Editor in Surveyor. It is a WikiLink.PNG Parent Rule
BlueDot10x10.png The WikiLink.PNG Navigation Set Check Rule checks if the specified Navigation Set has been completed, or not completed, then executes any following child rules


NavSetCheckDialog.JPG
NotePad.PNG Notes:
This rule allows you to check if all the Navigation Points in an identified Navigation Point Set have been completed or not. It is a Parent Rule so it can be used to perform other actions (execute Child Rules) based on the result of the check
Gears.PNG Settings:
BlackDot10x10.png Set ID: The unique Navigation Point Set ID code for the set to be checked. This must be the same ID as entered in the PageLink.PNG Navigation Display Rule and consists of any text characters  EXCEPT  the SPACE character and UPPER CASE characters
BlackDot10x10.png Complete/Incomplete: Left Click to select one of these two options. The selected Navigation Point Set will be tested to see if it has been Completed (all of its Navigation Points have been cleared/completed) or if it is Incomplete (not all of its Navigation Points have been cleared/completed)
