Not really, Ben, I am always trying to figure things out by myself as a first attempt. This was rather easy. Sorry for misunderstanding you with that first post. Very Happy

92220: Yes, your solution is plugin-independent, but I have assigned the controls using the plugin; the headlights, tail lights, and another headlights (the upper ones) have a separate control; and it is also separated in dependence of the end of the vehicle. It means when I turn the headlight on the front side on, the rear one stays off etc. This is regardless of the Reverser or Power Notch. But I can add a few conditions, such as direction control etc. Cool

Is there documentation for the os_ats plugin on assigning custom controls as I'm interested in using it for one of my trains.

Yes, there is... it is a complete package with explanations. Emailed your way, but as I am sending from a "CZ" domain, it might arrive into your SPAM folder, so check it. Smile

But if you wanna know, I will most probably add revolving bogies and for them, the inspiration is found in your pdf. Happy

By the way, what plugin do you use? I suppose you don't use OS_Ats and therefore the coding will be a little different...

Code:
[OBJECT] States=Lamp.b3d StateFunction=If[Cars<1|ReverserNotch>0,0,1]

to animate lights.

I believe you can make it more efficient by modifying it to:

Code:: [OBJECT] States=Lamp.b3d StateFunction=(Cars<1)+(ReverserNotch>0)-1

How does it work?

(Cars<1) is evaluated, if it is true, it becomes "1", if false, "0". Same for (ReverserNotch>0).

So we want both to be true, so we will get it simplified to 1+1-1 = 1, which gives you the state you want without the if function, which is more expensive.

Thanks Joeyfjj! That works fine.

Yes, it is working - provides automated switching on/off.
I just wanted to have it user-controlled. Smile

There just might be the answer to that, in the Pub. Positive

Actually, I have done it. Basketball

I know that but I just thought "Cue for a song!". I'm like that Very Happy

OK, folks,

the second beta is now out and available. Changes made to the external - added animated user-controlled lights and user controlled pantos (both of them). Try it out and let me know what you think. (The pantograph animations still need to be finalized).
