Driver Commands List

Train Railroad Simulator 2019 (TRS19) and TRAINZ A New Era (TANE) SP3. List of Trainz Driver Commands. All commands are the Copyright of N3V Games

This page is always under construction. As new driver commands appear and are tested they will be added to this list. Current Command Count: 52

Only driver commands supplied with TRS19/TANE or on the DLS are covered in this document.

The driver commands listed in this page are all found in Trainz Surveyor from the Edit Session option in the Main Menu and are accessed by the  Driver Command Rule and the  Driver Setup Rule. See the Trainz Wiki Page  How to Use the Driver Setup Rule for more information on both rules. Those commands that are identified as a DLS Command must be downloaded and installed from the Trainz DLS first.

Load

Instructs the AI driver to load the commodity or commodities waiting at an industry enabled asset into the rolling stock assets that have been configured to receive them. This may involve the AI driver moving the train forward a few wagons at a time until the entire length of the train has passed through the loading area. The Load command is also used for loading (and unloading) passengers at passenger enabled stations.

Command Properties:

• <kuid:-3:10076> Load

• Base Command

Command Settings:

None

Notes:

1. If the industry where the loading is taking place uses up all the available commodities before all the wagons are fully loaded, then any following wagons will not be loaded until the commodity is available again but the AI driver will not stop to wait.
2. With passenger enabled stations the Load command will first execute an Unload command to unload some of the passengers.

Load At

Combines the Drive To and Load commands. Instructs the AI driver to drive to an industry (or passenger enabled station) and load the commodity or commodities waiting there into the rolling stock assets that have been configured to receive them. This may involve the AI driver moving the train forward a few wagons at a time until the entire length of the train has passed through the loading area. The Load At command is also used for loading (and unloading) passengers at passenger enabled stations. All signals and speed signs are obeyed during the "Drive To" operation.

Notes:

1. The AI driver will select the shortest available path to the destination.
2. If the AI driver is blocked (e.g. by another train, a locked signal or switch) it will not attempt to find an alternative path to the destination. This can lead to the train stopping and waiting indefinately until the blockage is removed.
3. If the industry where the loading is taking place uses up all the available commodities before all the wagons are fully loaded, then any following wagons will not be loaded until the commodity is available again but the AI driver will not stop to wait.
4. With passenger enabled stations the Load command will first execute an Unload command to unload some of the passengers.

Related Commands:

• Drive To - drives to an industry but does not seek alternative paths if blocked
• Load - loads commodities at an industry (including a station)

Unload

Instructs the AI driver to unload the commodity or commodities loaded in rolling stock assets to the industry enabled asset if it has been configured and is able to receive them. This may involve the AI driver moving the train forward a few wagons at a time until the entire length of the train has passed through the loading area. The Unload command is also used for unloading passengers at passenger enabled stations.

Command Properties:

• <kuid:-3:10077> Unload

• Base Command

Command Settings:

None

Notes:

1. If the industry where the unloading is taking place reaches its maximum capacity before all the wagons are fully unloaded, then any following wagons will not be unloaded until capacity is available again but the AI driver will not stop to wait.
2. With passenger enabled stations the Unload command will unload a set number of passengers, specifically:-

• Terminal stations = 100% of loaded passengers
• Large stations = 50%
• Standard stations = 25%
• Small stations = 10%

The station size is set in the station properties

• Base Command

Command Settings:

  <list of available wagons> - select a wagon to couple to

Command Properties:

• <kuid:-3:10082> Decouple

• Base Command

  <list of available wagons> - select a wagon to decouple from

Known Issues:

• This command does not work when added to a driver's command list in the Driver Setup Rule in Surveyor but it does work when manually added to the driver's command list in Driver

Notes:

1. If programming a driver via the Driver Setup Rule, use the alternative commands Decouple DLX, Decouple Number #, Uncouplez or UncouplezFrom
2. The main problem with using decoupling commands in the Driver Setup Rule is that the number and identity of the wagons in a consist may not be known when the command is added to a driver's command list.
