The information in this Wiki Page applies to TANE, TRS19, TRS22 and Trainz Plus. It provides a list of Trainz Session Rules in Alphabetical Order with their properties and notes.

This page is always under construction. As new rules appear and are tested they will be added to this list. Current Count: 134

Only rules supplied with Trainz or on the DLS are covered in this document.

The rules listed in this page are all accessible in the

Surveyor Session Editor. Those rules that are identified as DLS Rule must be downloaded and installed from the Trainz DLS first.

Also available Session Rules By Categories With Properties

Description Key:

<kuid number> is for the rule version at the time of writing. This number will change if the rule is updated.
DLS Rule must be downloaded and installed from the DLS.
Base Rule and Built-in Rule is installed with Trainz.
Minimum Trainz Build is the minimum version of Trainz required for the listed version of this rule to work. This can change to a higher build if the rule is updated. Older builds may be available on the DLS.
Parent Rule will execute child rules if it returns a true result.
Obsolete Rule is no longer required (explanation given).
Legacy Rule has been replaced by another rule (new rule will be identified).
Rules that are named TANE SP2 or TANE SP3 should also work in TRS19, TRS22 and Trainz Plus.

 <Add another driver> - click to add another driver 
 [x] Remove all existing Drivers first -  see Known Issues below 
 [x] Generate new Drivers for empty Trains - when checked all newly added locos will automatically be given drivers

Known Issues:

The Remove all existing Drivers first option does not appear to work in TANE (but works in TRS19 and later)
Adding a large number of drivers to a session can cause Timeout errors. One known workaround is to split the drivers between two copies of the Driver Setup Rule and make the second copy a child of a Wait Rule. For more details see the Wiki How to Use Driver Setup Rule. This issue has been reported as FIXED in TRS19 SP1 and Trainz Plus

Notes:

The driver at the top of the list will have the camera focus when the Session starts. There is no way to move a driver up the list order except by removing the higher drivers

         The initial level in the object must be above the set lower limit.
