Traincontroller 31: Extended Accessories – Switches

In the previous video we had a first look at Extended Accessories. We used it as sort of a multi-status flagman, to show different graphics based on different statuses, via which we were able to simulate a counter.

In this video we’ll again have a look at Extended Accessories, this times used as switches. We can have multiple switches inside one EA. Every switch can have its own properties, and Operations and also Triggers, which at the same time make it act as a Flagman. This is shown with the 8 fold toggle switch array.

We can use the trigger for instance to ‘arm’ a button, we make it switch ‘on’ based on certain conditions. Then, clicking it with the mouse switches it off again, at the same time performing a series of operations.

This is shown in the video for a combined ‘Schedule Stop’ and ‘Schedules Terminate’ pushbutton. That is to say … the graphics looks like a pushbutton, but it is an EA with two switches inside.
