How to Use Track Priority Markers

Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 The information in this Wiki Page describes how to install, configure and use Track Priority Markers in T:ANE, TRS19, TRS22 and Trainz Plus.

Track Priority Markers are purple coloured track markers that are invisible in Driver but visible in Surveyor. They are used to direct specific trains under AI control through the track section where they are placed They only work on AI controlled trains. They have no effect on manually controlled trains The direction that the marker is pointing has NO EFFECT on its operation Track Priority Markers are used with Priority Levels that are assigned to each train

What are Track Priority Markers?

	Track Priority Markers are track markers that are invisible in Driver but visible in Surveyor
	They match the Priority Level assigned to AI consists with the level assigned to the marker on the track to decide if the consist is allowed to use that section of track
	Priority Levels have no set meanings but can be assigned to specific AI trains to force them through selected sections of track (the sections are defined as the track between consecutive junctions)

Track Priority Markers are used to assign different levels of Priority to track sections. Trains under AI control that have:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 the same Priority Level as the track will, under normal conditions‡, be directed along that track Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 a different Priority Level as the track will, under normal conditions‡, be directed away from that track ‡ assuming that there are no conflicting driver commands or movements A better way of thinking about the meaning of Priority is to use the word Preference instead of "Priority". Preference indicates a choice between different paths while Priority is often mistakenly taken to mean importance

Route or Session?

Track Priority Markers can be placed in a Route Layer or in a Session Layer

Notes: Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Placing Track Priority Markers in a Route layer (e.g. in the same layer as the track) means that they will be available in all Sessions created using that particular Route Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Placing Track Priority Markers in a Session layer means that they will only be available in that Session. This can be useful if two or more Sessions are being created and you want to use different Track Priority Markers in each Session

Information on Route and Session layers can be found at:- How to Use Layers

Adding a Track Priority Marker

Notes: A Track Priority Marker has only one important property:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 its Priority Level (1, 2 or 3) which is used to decide which consists can move along the track containing the marker ...and three UNIMPORTANT properties:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 its Effect Radius which has absolutely NO EFFECT on its oprtation or on any consists Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 The direction that it is pointing has absolutely NO EFFECT on its operation Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Its name is not required for any operation but can be useful for locating it in a route

In Surveyor Classic (S10)

Adding a Track Priority Marker (S10)

Steps: To add a Track Priority Marker:- Open the Tracks Tool Flyout or press the  F4  key Left Click on the Trackmark button or press the  V  key Left Click on the Track Priority Marker Left Click the  +  Add button - it may already be selected - or press the  A  key Left Click on the track location where the Track Priority Marker is to be placed This will place the Track Priority Marker on the track and open its properties window. Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Left Click the default Priority value shown to select one 1, 2 or 3. Each Left Click will cycle to the next value

Immediately after the Track Priority Marker has been placed its properties window will appear. You can:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Set the Priority Level for the Track Priority Marker, Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Enter a Name for the Track Priority Marker, and Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 if needed, select a Layer and a Bound Layer - see the Trainz Wiki Page  How to Use layers for the details

Set its Priority Level (S10)

The Priority Level is the ONLY important property of a Track Priority Marker. Its possible values are 1, 2 and 3.

The Effect Radius sets the size of green "effect wings" attached to both ends of the Track Priority Marker.

Steps: To set its Priority Level:- Open the Tracks Tool Flyout or press the  F4  key Left Click on the Trackmark Mode or press the  V  key At the bottom of the Flyout Left Click the Properties button (the ? icon) or press the  P  key. Left Click the Track Priority Market. This will open up its Properties window   Left Click on the Priority 0 link (it may show 1, 2 or 3) to open the Priority Selection window. Left Click on a value (1, 2 or 3) then Left Click on the icon to accept the selection or the icon to reject it

Set its Effect Radius (S10)

	The Effect Radius sets the size of green "effect wings" attached to both ends of the Track Priority Marker.
	Its default value is 20m. Changing it has no effect on its operation.

A Track Priority Marker sets the Preferred path for AI controlled consists that have a matching Priority Level (see   Modifying Train Priority Levels below). It has no effect on manually controlled trains. The section of track it applies to:-

Starts at any one of:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 a Junction Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 an Industry Owned Track Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 a Crossing

AND

Ends at any one of:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 a Junction Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 an Industry Owned Track Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 a Crossing

So its Effect Radius is actually the distance between those two points regardless of how many track segments there are.

Notes: Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Changing the Effect Radius of a Track Priority Marker has no effect on its operation but it allows you to keep its "visibility" clear of other track objects such as junctions and other markers. Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 The methods described below are NOT available in Surveyor Classic (S10) in versions of Trainz that have the Surveyor 2.0 (S20) interface as an option (TRS22PE and Trainz Plus). For these versions switch to Surveyor 2.0 and use the methods described in the  Set its Effect Radius (S10) section below.

At the bottom of the Track Tools flyout menu is an Advanced button. Left Click this button to open the advanced tools. The Effect Radius sets the size of green "effect wings" attached to both ends of the Track Priority Marker.

Other Track Objects that have an Effect Radius include:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Triggers Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Markers Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Direction Markers

Steps: To set a Track Priority Marker Effect Radius:- In the Track Tools flyout, Left Click on the Advanced button to open the Radius tools and properties. You will have a choice of 4 methods to set and adjust the Effect Radius Options: Choose one of:- To copy the Effect Radius of an existing Track Priority Marker:- Left Click the Get Effect Radius icon Left Click on the Direction Mark whose radius you want to copy - the radius will be copied into the Effect Radius Value text box (the default value is 20.00 metres) To apply the new value see option below To manually alter the Effect Radius value Type the new value (in metres) into the Effect Radius Value text box To apply the new value see option below To apply a value in the Effect Radius Value text box (from methods , or ) to another Track Priority Marker Left Click the Copy Radius Value icon Left Click on the Track Priority Marker that is to receive the new value (you can click on more than one) To adjust the Effect Radius value up or down Left Click the Adjust Effect Radius button Select the Track Priority Marker Left Click and Drag Forward (to increase the value) or Backward (to reduce the setting) The new value will be immediately applied to the selected Track Priority Marker as the mouse moves (but only one Track Priority Marker at a time)

Once you have an Effect Radius entered in the setting box, you can apply it to any number of Track Priority Markers by using method shown above

In Surveyor 2.0 (S20)

Surveyor 2.0 is only available in Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum

Adding a Track Priority Marker (S20)

In the Filter Palette either:-

Left Click on the Track Objects icon OR Left Click on the Content Drop Down Box Then select Track Objects  Shortcut  If you already have a Track Priority Marker placed in your route then:- move the tool pointer over the existing Track Priority Marker object and hold down the  Alt  key. The object name will appear in a ToolTip attached to the pointer while holding down the  Alt  key Left Click on the Track Priority Marker to identify it in the Assets Palette and to select the Placement Tool. Release the key. Jump to Step below.

Notes: If the Filter Palette and the Assets Palette are not shown on the screen, then:- Steps: To display palettes:- open the Window Menu from the menu icons at the top of the screen   visible palettes have ticks next to their names invisible (hidden) palettes have no ticks next to their names if any required palette does not have a tick next to its name then Left Click on the name of the palette or on the empty box next to its name. This will add a and make the palette visible There is a Trainz Wiki Page specifically covering the S20 Palettes at  How to Use the Surveyor 2.0 Palettes

In the Assets Palette to narrow down the filter list, type "priority" (UPPER/lower case does not matter) in the Search Text Box

Both pallets shown docked

This will list all the Track Objects containing the text "priority" in their names or descriptions. Left Click on the item name AI Routing Priority Marker - you may have to scroll down the list to find the asset but in this case there is only a single match for the search. If you are not sure about an asset then Double Left Click on the name to bring up its image and description. When you select any asset in the Assets Palette list it will automatically select the Placement Tool so the next Left Click in your Trainz World will add that asset to your Trainz World

Place the Track Priority Marker on the track.

Steps: To add a Track Mark:- If, for some reason, the Placement Tool has not been selected then Left Click on the Placement Tool or press the  E  key Left Click on the track at the position where you want to place the Track Priority Marker Once placed a Track Priority Marker can be easily moved if needed. Notes: To delete a Track Priority Marker (or any asset):- Steps: select either the:- Free Move Tool (or press  S ) OR Fine Adjustment Tool (or press  D ) Left Click on the Track Priority Marker press the  Delete  key

If you need to rotate the Track Priority Marker to face the opposite direction then:- Steps: select the Track Priority Marker then Left Click on its Context Menu Icon (or press the  T  key) from the popup menu select the  Rotate Trackside  option Note: the direction it faces has no effect on its operation

Set its Priority Level (S20)

The Priority Level is the ONLY important property of a Track Priority Marker. Its possible values are 1, 2 and 3.

Steps: To set its Priority Level:- select the Track Priority Marker and Left Click on its  Context Menu Icon (or press the  T  key) From the popup Context Menu select  Edit Details  In the Script Properties section (Left Click on its Down Arrow if it is not open) Left Click on the Priority number Left Click on one of the options 1, 2 and 3 Left Click on the icon to accept the selection or the icon to reject it

Change its Direction (S20)

The direction that the Track Priority Marker points has NO effect on its operation.

If you need to reverse its direction then:-

Steps: To reverse its direction:- select the Track Priority Marker and Left Click on its  Context Menu Icon (or press the  T  key). From the popup Context Menu select the  Rotate Trackside  option

Change Its Name (S20)

The name of the marker is only useful for finding it in the route. It is not used for any operational purpose.

Steps: To change the name of a Track Priority Marker:- using either the Free Move Tool or the Fine Adjustment Tool select (Left Click on) the Direction Mark to be renamed in the Info Palette (you may need to make this palette visible - see the Notes: for Step  1  above) Left Click in the Name: entry box. Enter a name for the Track Priority Marker and press the  Enter  key The Name of a Track Priority Marker will not be shown above it in Surveyor. The name will appear in the  Info Palette  if the object is selected.

Set its Effect Radius (S20)

The Effect Radius sets the size of green "effect wings" attached both ends of the marker. Note that unlike Track Triggers and Track Markers no Effect Radius setting or name will be shown above a Track Priority Marker.

Notes: The Effect Radius has no effect on the operation of a Track Priority Marker but it allows you to keep its "visibility" clear of other track objects such as junctions and other markers.

Steps: To adjust the Effect Radius of a Track Priority Marker:- Left Click and Drag on the Green Dot next to the Track Priority Marker. Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Drag it Left or Right (at 90° to the direction of the track) to change its Effect Radius. Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 The speed at which you drag it will set the speed at which the radius setting will change - faster movements will give larger setting changes. For the best results when adjusting the Effect Radius of any track object, move your camera POV (point of view) to directly above the object Other Track Objects that have an Effect Radius include:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Triggers Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Markers Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127  Track Direction Markers

Move it Along the Track (S20)

Track Priority Markers can be moved along the track or to other tracks.

Steps: To move the Track Priority Marker:- Left Click and Drag Forward or Backward on the Yellow Dot, its Attachment Point, next to the Track Priority Marker or on the object itself (see Notes: below), to move it along the track or to another track Notes: Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 If you drag the object itself and not its Attachment Point then it will stay at its original height as it is moved along the track. If the track is on a grade then the object will rise above or fall below the track as it is moved. To return the object to its correct height on the track see the next section Move it Vertically below. Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Dragging it by the attachment point will force it to stay at the height of the track as it is moved.

Move it Vertically (S20)

Track Priority Markers can be physically placed above (or below) the track. This feature allows them to be placed, for example, above the track so that they will not be hidden in Surveyor if a consist is parked on a marker.

Steps: To move a Track Priority Marker vertically:- This option is only available with the Fine Adjustment Tool - the  D  key Left Click and Drag Forward or Backward on the  Blue  Vertical Axis Line above the Track Priority Marker to it up or down If you need to return the Track Priority Marker to its original position then:- Steps: To correctly reattach the Track Priority Marker to the track:- select the object and open (Left Click on) its Context Menu Icon (or press the  T  key) from the popup menu select  Reattach to Track

Move it Horizontally (S20)

Track Priority Markers can be physically placed left or right alongside the track. This feature allows them to be placed, for example, beside the track so that they will not be hidden in Surveyor if a consist is parked on a marker.

Steps: To move a Track Priority Marker horizontally:- This option is only available with the Fine Adjustment Tool - the  D  key Left Click and Drag Forward or Backward on the  Red  Horizontal Axis Line attached to the Track Priority Marker to move it left or right Left Click and Drag Forward or Backward on the  Green  Horizontal Axis Line attached to the Track Priority Marker to move it forward or back If you need to return the Track Priority Marker to its original position then:- Steps: To correctly reattach the Track Priority Marker to the track:- select the object and open (Left Click on) its Context Menu Icon (or press the  T  key) from the popup menu select  Reattach to Track

Notes: The  Green  Horizontal Axis Line shown as in the image pointing forward from the Track Priority Marker will move it forward/backward regardless of whether it is on the track or not. It has the same effect as Move it Along the Track. However, by using this tool it is possible to move the Track Priority Marker beyond the end of the track if that is ever required.

Assign it to a New Layer (S20)

The Info Palette will show the layer assigned to the currently selected object. To the left of the layer name is a small arrowhead object.

Steps: To assign a Track Priority Marker to a layer:- In the Info Palette:- Left Click the small arrowhead next to the layer name. This will open the layer properties for the selected object Left Click the Layer drop down box to select a new layer for the object if required, Left Click the Binding drop down box to select a new binding layer for the object. It cannot be bound to its own layer if required, Left Click the  Lock Layer  button to lock the selected layer. If the layer is already locked then this will be shown as an  Unlock Layer  button WARNING: Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 You will not be allowed to place a track object in a layer that is higher up the list than the layer containing the track Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Moving an object from one layer group to another (e.g. from the Route Layer Group to the Session Layer Group) will change where the object is saved (in the Route or in the Session) Information on layers can be found at:- How to Use Layers

Assigning Priority Levels to Trains

A higher priority level does not mean that one consist is more important than another. A priority 1 consist will not be given first access to a junction, for example, or be the first one to depart. The priority levels have no set meaning beyond what you decide they will mean.

Notes: Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Every locomotive (and its consist) must have a Priority Level of 1, 2 or 3. The default priority level of every locomotive is 2. You cannot assign NO Priority to a locomotive Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Setting the priority level of any wagon in a consist will set the priority level of ALL the wagons (including the loco) to the same setting

For example you could assign priority 1 to express trains and 3 to slow general "all stops" freight trains, or you could assign priority 3 to express trains and 1 to slow general "all stops" freight trains, it is up to you. These values will not alter the speed or importance of these trains but will only decide which paths they should take.

Track Priority Marker Operation

	Track Priority Markers only work on AI controlled trains. They have no effect on manually controlled trains
	Track Priority Markers force a AI trains that with the same priority level into taking the path containing the marker
	AI trains will ignore a path containing a Track Priority Marker that does not match its own priority level unless that path is also the shortest available
	If the specified path is blocked, then the AI will ignore the Track Priority Marker and find another path
	The direction that the Track Priority Marker is pointing has NO effect on its operation

Consider the situations represented in the diagrams below. Three trains - Red, Green, Yellow - have been given priority levels of 1, 2 and 3 as shown. Each is given the driver command Drive to Trackmark or Navigate to Trackmark. The destination trackmark is shown on the right. In Figure 1 below, no Track Priority Markers have been set. All three trains will take the shortest path, assuming there are no blockages. Figure 1 In Figure 2 below, a Track Priority Marker has been placed on the top loop line and has been given a priority level of 1. The red train (priority level 1) will now take the priority 1 path because it will "see" that as being the shortest of the three possible paths. The green and yellow trains (priority levels 2 and 3) will still "see" the middle path as the shortest. Figure 2 In Figure 3 below, a Track Priority Marker has been placed on the lower loop line and has been given a priority level of 3. For the same reasons as explained above, the yellow train (priority level 3) will now take the priority 3 path because it now sees that as the shortest. Figure 3 In Figure 4 below, Track Priority Markers have been placed on the upper and lower loop lines and set as shown. The red and yellow trains will take their respective loop paths while the green train is unaffected. Figure 4 An exception, shown in Figure 5 below, will occur when a Track Priority Marker path has been blocked, for example by another train under AI or manual control. In the figure the lower loop path has been blocked. The red train will take its assigned path, the green train takes its shortest path and yellow train will be forced to take what it "sees" as the next shortest path. Figure 5

Notes: An AI controlled train will not attempt to find an alternative path around a blockage if:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 the Drive To driver command is used, and Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 the blocked path is the shortest path and has the same priority setting as the consist This is the normal operation of the Drive To command and is not caused by the Track Priority Markers or consist priority levels. This situation would occur with or without the use of priority levels and markers.

---

Another exception, shown in Figure 6 below, will occur when a driver command overrides a Track Priority Marker. In the figure the yellow train (priority level 3) has been given the driver command Drive To Station followed by Drive to Trackmark. As the station is not on the priority 3 path, that path will be ignored to reach the station and then the trackmark. After stopping at the station the train will not reverse back onto the main line to then use the priority 3 track. Figure 6 The Special Case of Priority 2 Figure 7 below shows a situation that does not fit the points made above. A Track Priority Marker has been set to priority level 2 and placed on the lower loop. The green train has been given the command to drive to the trackmark but ignores its assigned priority 2 path and proceeds via the shortest actual path. Track that has not been assigned a Track Priority Marker will have a default priority level of 2. In this situation, the green train "sees" two paths that match its priority level so it takes the path that is the actual shorter of the two. Figure 7 Track Priority Markers can also be used to direct trains away from specific paths. Figure 8 below shows how this can be done. A Track Priority Marker set to priority level 1 has been positioned on the shortest physical path. This will block all trains of priority level 2 and 3 from using that path - they will see it as the longest available path. A second Track Priority Marker set to priority level 3 has been positioned on the 2nd shortest physical path. This will block all trains of priority level 1 and 2 from using that path. The end result is that the green train (priority level 2) has only one path available - the longest physical path. Figure 8 The situation shown in Figure 8 above only works up to a point. Figure 9 below shows what will happen when ALL paths are set to a blocking priority level. The green train (priority level 2) will ignore all the Track Priority Markers and choose its own shortest path. Track Priority Markers will only make a path *look* longer or shorter. When all paths have conflicting priorities to an AI train, then the AI will go back to selecting the actual shortest physical path. Figure 9

Modifying Train Priority Levels

The Priority Level of a consist in Driver can be altered manually or automatically

Manually in Driver

This can be done "on the fly" using the mouse.

Steps: To edit a consists Priority Level in Driver:-  Ctrl  + Right Click (hold down the  Ctrl  key and Right Click) on the locomotive or on any of the wagons in the consist Setting the Priority Level of one rolling stock object (wagon, loco) in a consist will set ALL the rolling stock objects in the consist to the same Priority Level Left Click on the  View Details  option from the popup menu Depending on your version of Trainz, choose between:- T:ANE, TRS19 and TRS22:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Left Click on the Train Priority setting - each click will cycle through the values 1, 2, 3. The default priority level for all consists is 2 Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Left Click the icon to accept the change In Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum:- Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Left Click on the Priority setting to open a drop down menu. Select the required Priority Level of 1, 2 or 3 Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 Left Click the  Save Changes  button to accept the change

OR

Using the Session Editor

This can be done in Surveyor in the Session Editor Driver Setup Rule

Steps: To edit a consists Priority Level in the Session Editor:- Open the Session Editor - this is found as Edit Session in the T:ANE Surveyor Main Menu and in the TRS19 (and later version) Edit Menu Left Click on the Driver Setup Rule then Left Click on the  Edit  button Insert the command Priorityz at the appropriate place in the Driver Command Bar for the selected Driver and set it to the new level The command Priorityz must be downloaded from the DLS and installed in your copy of Trainz

Information on adding driver commands can be found on the Trainz Wiki Page at:- How to Use the Driver Setup Rule

Track Priority in Map View

In Surveyor when using Map View or zooming the camera right out, the tracks will be shown colour coded according to their assigned track priority level. If the track layout shown in Figure 4 above, with the Track Priority Markers as used in that figure, was shown in Map View then this would be the result. Tracks that have not been given a Track Priority Marker will be shown as dark blue indicating that they have the default priority level 2.
