0.3 Traincarts Mechanics (IMPORTANT)

Signs:
Signs could be on a block and under a block for them to work.

Signs always starts with:

[train](Work only with PWR)(eg Skippers)
[!train](Work only w/o PWR)(eg Skippers/Switchers)
[+train](Always Works(w/ OR w/o PWR)
[cart](Work for a single minecart, PWR rule APP)
[!cart](Work for a single minecart, PWR rule APP)
[+cart](Work for a single minecart, PWR rule APP)
[train (trainname)] (For remote CTRL, PWR rule APP)

Sign works with the text facing the opposite direction the train is going.

In this case, train works left to right

1.Signs
1.1 Waiter Sign
[+train] NO EXCEPTION

Sign Format:
[+train]
waiter<number>
<time until train is released> (OPTN)
Signs should be placed parallel to the track in case of reverted/borrowed tracking.
Company Recommended Value:
<number>=double of extended train length at tracks, 3x / 4x BEF ST.(50 REC) (depend on
constructor)
<time until train is released>=leave time ONLY WHEN PSD w/ T Suffix, 0.5x-2x dwelling

1.2 Announcer Signs

[+train] NORM OP
[!train]
[train] in NORM EXPR DIFFNC, used w/ DET

Sign Format:

[+train]
Announce
<First Line>
<Second Line>
Signs could be placed both ways. Recommended One way for correct announcements in
borrowed/reverted OP
No Company Recommended value, check Announcing Notes for more INFO. Used with consent
of constructor, and MUST BE typed by licensed Signage constructor.

Please note that First Line and Second Line Collides

eg.
[+train]
Announce
Welcome onboard
Test Line
OUTPUT:
Welcome onboardTest Line
[+train]
Announce
Welcome onboa
rd Test Line
OUTPUT:
Welcome onboard Test Line

1.3 Property Signs

[train]
[!train]
[+train]

Use with consent of Constructor

Sign Format:
[+train]

property
<property>
<value>
No Company Recommended Value. Check Property List for list of Properties and values.
Use with the consent of Constructor and double check/debug after completing the sign. Test
properties before OP.
Each train MUST HAVE a different Name. In case of same names, property signs will
automatically add numbers accordingly after the name. Use # to specify no . places.
eg.
[+train]
property
rename
ICSUT
OUTPUT:
ICSUT
ICSUT1
ICSUT2

[+train]
property
rename
T#ForICSU
OUTPUT:
TForICSU
T1ForICSU
T2ForICSU

1.4 Destroy Sign

[train]
[!train]
[+train]

Depends on Constructor

Sign Format:
[+train]
destroy

1.5 Remote Control Sign

[train <trainname>] NO EXCEPTION
Remote Control Supported Actions:
launch
destroy
property

1.6 Trigger Sign

[+train] NORM OP
[!train]
[train] EXPR NORM OP
Sign Format:
[train]
trigger
<name>
<time>
Company Recommended Value:
<name>=Station Code, return +1 at back, use 2 for return if 2L PID, +Line ALPB if Multi Line St.
<time>=Leave blank for automatic counting

1.7 Switcher Sign

[train]
[!train] Depends on Constructor
[+train]
Sign Format:
[+train]
switcher
<line1>
<line2>
No Company Recommended Value. See Switcher Index for more information
Sign should be placed directly below the curved tracks for 2 syntax
Sign should be attached by extra blocks on the curved rail block. Direction rule APP

1.8 Station sign

[+train](For Normal Stations)
[!train]
[train] (For Station with Skippers, MAN or AUTO)
Sign Format:
[+train]
station<number of blocks for trains to launch, default 100/1st turning>
<time>
<left/right/continue/reverse>(OPTN)
Signs should be placed under blocks or on blocks parallel to the track.
Train goes to the side which redstone signal is AVAIL and could be overide with OPTN line.
Company Recommended value:
<number of blocks for trains to launch>=leave default
<time>=10
<continue/reverse>

3. SignLink Usage
3.1 SignLink Logic
Declaring Variables always starts with %, make a sandwich for single sign operations.
Syntax:
%<Variable>(%) (OPTN)
Variable can be changed using the following steps:
/variable edit <variable>(Select)
/variable set <Value(ASCII Char)(Edit)
/variable setticker <left/right/number>(Move)
Company Recommended Value:
<left/right/number>=left
<left/right/number>2 / 3
ALWAYS DECLARE A VARIABLE BEFORE CHANGING THEM
(IT COULD PREVENT A VARIABLE FROM OCCUPYING A BLANK SPACE)
Official Variables:
<Entry>-FTR Entry
<Platform>-FTR Platform
<Exit>-FTR Exit

<ICSUM>-EXPR/NORM Reminder

3.2 SignLink Tutorial

4 Fundamental Steps-Declare, Select, Edit, Move
Declare-Declare a variable on sign using %
eg.%test% (Single Sign)
eg.%test (Multiple Signs)
Select-Select variable for editing
/variable edit <variable>
eg. /variable edit test
Edit-Edit Variable Values
/variable set <Value(ASCII Char)>
eg. /variable set This is a test
Move- Make them move on signs(i.e. Scrolling signs)
/variable setticker <left/right/number>
eg. /variable setticker left (Direction)
eg. /variable setticker 2 (Speed)

4. Company Policies
List Of Company Policies:
WAR1-Waiter signs MUST be always activated by [+train]
WLL1-Waiter signs MUST NOT be smaller than train extended length
VOS1-Variables MUST be on signs before further editing
VBR1-Blank/Wrongly declared variables MUST be reported to FTR/RPMD for removal
Be warned- Breaking of any of the policies will result in punishments.
