Spontaneous trip with a random stop
Train should not always stop
The idea is not that every train should stop, but rather that trains should stop at random.
Insert time variable
I created a global variable of type Number. Then the variable "Stay_Random" is assigned a starting value of 0.
There is a 50% probability that it will be increased to 7000 (7000 milliseconds = 7 seconds).
This variable is then entered as the length of stay.
- Fig: Random stop - spontaneous trip
Problem: The result was that the test locomotive always stopped one lap later, even though (according to the variable monitor) the value of the variable was 7000.
Define variable in time
Silvio Richter describes the solution in the forum:
It doesn't matter which means (macro, section settings, etc.) are used to set the variable value.
It is important to note that the value must be fixed before the block with the variable stay is reserved. Therefore, with a reservation lance of 2, the value must be set 3 blocks before the stay.
Or in other words: The value used is the one that is current at the moment the block is reserved.
