Traincontroller 26: Flagman Trigger Logic

In the previous video the Flagman was introduced. Flagman can be used to monitor a user specified status on the layout. As soon as that status becomes valid the ‘red flag is raised’ and a series of Operations can be started. When the status is not valid anymore the flag is lowered.

The status that we want the Flagman to monitor is specified in the Trigger tab. This trigger can make use of the status of almost every element available on the layout, combined with logical statements like AND / OR. Complex logic can be created this way.

The TC Gold version also has some further logic functions that make use of a counter:
– ‘Exact (n)’ means exactly n of the elements inside this group must be valid to become TRUE.
– ‘At most (n)’ means that max n elements must be valid.
– ‘At least (n)’ means that minimum n elements must be valid.

How Flagman and their possible complex trigger logic can be used is up to our own creativity and imagination and the goals we like to accomplish.

The video shows how we can play a station announcement message just every now and then and it also shows examples of all the logic groups available.
