  '''Properties:'''
 
  '''Properties:'''
     '''Target object ''<select>''''' - select industry object from session list
+
     '''[Check Box] Enforce strict exclusive testing''' - check to only accept an exact match with no unspecified vehicles in the consist.
    '''[Check Box] Lock the train's controls during a stopped load/unload operation''' - check to disable driver controls while train is stopped and loading/unloading
+
      - leave unchecked to accept any consist that contains the specified vehicles.
    '''[Check Box] Override 'begin load' and 'begin unload' durations to ''<value>'' seconds''' - if checked enter number of seconds to override
+
    Select one of two option buttons:-
 +
    '''( ) Rule disabled''' - select to disable the operation of this rule
 +
    '''( ) Complete whenever a train matching the description exists''' - When selected, enter the consist description:-
 +
      '''Specific vehicle''' - identify the specific vehicle(s) that will trigger the rule
 +
          '''''+''''' - click to add a ''specific'' vehicle from the session list
 +
          '''''x''''' - click to remove the ''specific'' vehicle from the rule
 +
      '''Vehicle types''''' - identify the ''type'' of vehicle(s) that will trigger the rule
 +
          '''''+''''' - click to add a ''type'' of vehicle from the session list
 +
          '''''x''''' - click to remove the ''type'' of vehicle from the rule

 +
          '''''x''''' - click to remove a ''driver'' from the rule
 +
 
 +
*'''Known Issues:'''
 +
:When used as a top level parent rule it does not terminate after triggering but will continue to check all consists for a match and will trigger every time another match is found.

==='''Multiple Resource Check Rule'''===
 +
 
 +
Executes child rules if industries or vehicles reach set commodity levels. This rule replaces the older '''Resource Check Rule'''

 +
*'''Built-in Rule'''

*'''Parent Rule'''
 +
 
 +
'''Properties:'''
 +
    '''<Product Level>''' - click to select a product test from two choices:-
 +
      '''''Reach/Exceed''''' - sets an upper limit for the resources being monitored.
 +
          For example: the rule will be triggered if the quantity of coal in a coal loader stockpile or a coal wagon reaches or exceeds a specified level.
 +
          The initial level in the object must be below the set upper limit.
 +
      '''''Fall below''''' - sets a lower limit for the resources being monitored.
 +
          For example: the rule will be triggered if the quantity of coal in a coal loader stockpile or a coal wagon falls below a specified level.
 +
          The initial level in the object must be above the set lower limit.
 +
          To test when a resource level reaches zero (i.e. is empty) set the lower limit to a very low value but not zero as the level can never fall below zero.
 +
    '''''<value>''''' - enter required quantity value
 +
    '''''<select>''''' - select a product from session list of products
 +
    '''''<Add object>''''' - click to select a source or target object. Multiple objects and their queues can be added to the rule.
 +
      ALL the entered products must reach/exceed or fall below the specified value for the rule to be triggered.
 +
      For each object:-
 +
          '''''<Object>''''' - click to select session active industry or product enabled rail vehicle
 +
          '''''<Queue>''''' - select product queue (there may be only one available)
 +
          '''''<Remove>''''' - removes the object and its product queue from the rule
  
 
*'''Notes:'''
 
*'''Notes:'''
:Times are Trainz clock time, not real time
+
:This rule only checks for ''changing'' commodity levels during loading and unloading operations. It cannot be used to test, for example, if a vehicle is ''full'' or ''empty''.

Properties:

      Fall below - sets a lower limit for the resources being monitored. 
         For example: the rule will be triggered if the quantity of coal in a coal loader stockpile or a coal wagon falls below a specified level. 
         The initial level in the object must be above the set lower limit. 
         To test when a resource level reaches zero (i.e. is empty) set the lower limit to a very low value but not zero as the level can never fall below zero.
