Morning all, I’m currently working on a scenario that has a normal running service and what I’m trying to do is have my train stop and wait at a station mid route and wait for a delayed service to come I. And couple to mine and I then continue. I’ve got it compiled but the air train keeps getting to a signal that don’t want to change, is there any tutorials on how to do this please ? I have seen matts video but I can’t seem to get it to work. thanks in advance all.
A service can only couple to an inactive formation AFAIK. Try terminating your service, wait for the other service to couple to your formation and then start a new (second) service to continue. I didn't make any scenarios yet so I'm not sure if attaching two consecutive services to it is possible. Also make sure that your 'call on' dependency is correctly set so the other service can get permission to enter the block of your formation.
So you can use the dependency on the instructions to prevent AI or even player going past that instruction until this other linked instruction is completed. You can also use Dipsatch beyond unticked. This will mean until they've completed that specific instruction, the dispatcher won't signal ahead. Also Isaak is right on their point. You would have to either end your service to allow AI to couple to your train or have AI pull in before hand end it's service and you couple to it.
