Sep-03-01, 08:22 PM (EST) "Action Event Help" I was hoping someone could help me with a problem that I am having.

I am trying to create an activity that requires the player to drop off part of his STARTING consist (the one connected to the train when the activity starts) on a siding but I cannot figure out a way to create an event that allows me to choose cars from his consist to place on the siding.

I know it can be done becuase i see it done in the freight tutorial, but I cannot figure out a way to do it myself. I have looked through our lovely Strategy guide (please pardon the sarcasm in my voice) and searched the voluminous help system (I won't apologize for my sarcasm there) but can't seem to come up with anything.

If anyone knows of a way that I could simply work around this problem using activation levels that would also work as well.

thanks in advance for your help.

-RB

Sep-03-01, 10:24 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Action Event Help" I'm guessing you mean you want to drop off part of a consist the player starts with right? But the problem is you can see the consist in order to allocate which cars to drop off... If this is what you want to do, then all you have to do is set the time of your activity to the start time of the activity. You do this in the left lower hand corner, where you press the button: Time. There's another thing you can do too. It's something like set validation in one of the drop down menus. This will run your clock up to when your player's consist shows on the screen. Then you can choose which cars to drop off. Hope this helps! Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I will be hitting myself on the forehead for the rest of the night for not thinking of thatthanks again-RB Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
