DCForum Discussion Forum - Assembling a train

Hi,I have begun using the Activity Editor. And part of my activity requires the player to assemble a train. In this case, take an engine from the shed, and couple it to a bunch of carriages with another steam engine at the front. So the consist would then look like this: Players Loco & Tender --- other steam loco and tender --- 7 carriages.My problem is that when I am creating the action event to confirm that the consist has been made, I can't figure out how to get the players loco into the list. All the other carriages and the other steam engine are there, I just click on them in the usual fashion. But I can't see where to enter the Players loco at the start. Usually the players loco is 0-0 and 0-1?How do I make it appear on the Action Event list??Thanks,Donald.

Donald,
Before you open the action event properties box to edit the action, go up to "tools" on the menu bar and click "verify starting state".
This moves the time to 2 seconds after your projected start time and causes your initial player consist to "blink in" at your path start point.
You can then include it in any actions.Regards,
Denny
