  • Interface methods to control and obtain information about the status of Junction objects.
  • This class relates equally to switch levers controlling spline track junctions and to the junction nodes attached to Fixed Track Junction objects.

Constants & Messages

Junction States

  • These values define the directions possible through a junction object.


public define int DIRECTION_LEFT = 0 Left junction direction.
public define int DIRECTION_FORWARD = 1 Forward junction direction (straight on for three way points).
public define int DIRECTION_RIGHT = 2 Right junction direction.
public define int DIRECTION_BACKWARD = -1 Backward junction direction (leading approach).
public define int DIRECTION_NONE = 3 No junction direction or error condition.

Methods

AllowManualControl

public native voidAllowManualControl(bool allow)
Parameters
  • allow = True to allow the user to toggle the junction, false otherwise.
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax;
AllowManualControl(true);
Notes


GetDebugString

public string GetDebugString(void)
Parameters
  • None
Returned Value
  • A string that contains the node ID and name of the MapObject associated with this junction. If successful, the returned string will include the node ID and name of the MapObject. Otherwise an error string will be returned instead.
Syntax;
Interface.Print(GetDebugString());
Notes


GetDirection

public native int GetDirection(void)
Parameters
  • None
Returned Value
  • One of the Junction State constants indicating the current direction of the junction.
Syntax;
int direction = GetDirection();
Notes


GetDirectionToTrain

public native int GetDirectionToTrain(Train train)
Parameters
  • train = A reference to a train located within 15 track stretches of the junction.
Returned Value
  • One of the Junction State constants indicating the track on which the train was found.
Syntax;
int approachPath = GetDirectionToTrain(train);
Notes
  • DIRECTION_NONE is returned if the train is not within range.


GetGameObject

public native GameObject GetGameObject(void)
Parameters
  • None
Returned Value
  • A reference to the GameObject associated with this junction.
Syntax;
GameObject go = junction.GetGameObject();
Notes
  • For a trackside spline junction this method returns the junction lever object.
  • For an embedded junction in a fixed track junction the object returned is the embedded junction node.
  • In either case null is returned on failure.


GetManualControl

public native bool GetManualControl(void)
Parameters
  • None
Returned Value
  • True if the user is allowed to toggle this junction, false otherwise.
Syntax;
bool locked = !GetManualControl();
Notes


GetMapObject

public native MapObject GetMapObject(void)
Parameters
  • None
Returned Value
  • A reference to the MapObject associated with this junction.
Syntax;
MapObject mo = junction.GetMapObject();
Notes
  • For a trackside spline junction this method returns the junction lever object.
  • For an embedded junction in a fixed track piece the object returned is the fixed track parent object.
  • In either case null is returned on failure.


JunctionInnerReEnter

public native bool JunctionInnerReEnter(int node)
Parameters
  • node = Node Id of train as returned by Train.GetId().
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax;
junction.JunctionInnerReEnter(train);
Notes
  • The effect of this method is to cause a new Junction,InnerEnter message to be sent to the Junction if any part of the train is within the inner trigger radius.


JunctionReEnter

public native bool JunctionReEnter(int node)
Parameters
  • node = Node Id of train as returned by Train.GetId().
Returned Value
  • None
Syntax;
junction.JunctionReEnter(train);
Notes
  • The effect of this method is to cause a new Junction,Enter message to be sent to the Junction if any part of the train is within the default outer trigger radius.


RequestPermit

public native Permit RequestPermit(GameObject obj)
Parameters
  • obj = Object requesting the Permit.
Returned Value
  • Returns a Permit for obj to control the junction.
Syntax;
Permit permit = RequestPermit(train);
Notes
  • Although a Permit is always returned, it may not necessarily be granted.


RequestTrackPermit

public native Permit RequestTrackPermit(GameObject obj, int direction)
Parameters
  • obj = Object requesting the Permit.
  • direction = One of the Junction State constants indicating the direction of the track relative to the current junction.
Returned Value
  • Returns a Permit for obj to control the specified track.
Syntax;
Permit permit = RequestTrackPermit(train, DIRECTION_LEFT);
Notes
  • Although a Permit is always returned, it may not necessarily be granted.


SetDirection

public native bool SetDirection (int direction)
Parameters
  • direction = New direction to set.
Returned Value
  • True if the junction is changed, False if the direction is unchanged or if the specified direction was invalid for this junction.
Syntax;
if (junction.SetDirection(DIRECTION_LEFT)) Interface.Print("Junction now set to the left");
Notes
  • This method switches the junction unconditionally, disregarding any Permits that may exist.


SwitchForTrain

public native bool SwitchForTrain(Train train, int direction)
Parameters
  • train = Train that is to pass over the junction.
  • direction = One of the Junction State constants indicating the current position of the train relative junction.
Returned Value
  • True if the junction is changed, False if the direction is unchanged or if the specified direction was invalid for this junction.
Syntax;
junction.SwitchForTrain(train,DIRECTION_BACKWARD);
Notes
  • The new direction must be on the opposite side of the junction to the train's current position.
  • This method switches the junction unconditionally, disregarding any Permits that may exist.
