As suggested by Chris, I will talk about a new function added to the scripts:

I added the PreUpdate() function in all script interfaces in order to manage the following case:
When you launch a game in timetable mode, you go through a pre-update phase where you start from midnight and you wait until you reach the start of your train.
During this phase, trains are running following the timetable information but with a huge time step.
If you use Timer instances inside signal scripts, the Timer instances will be updated at the same huge time step and the signals may clear much too late and cause huge delays to the trains.

With the PreUpdate() function, you can choose to disable the timers when the simulator is in this pre-update phase and avoid delays.

Can I ask what the syntax is (will be) for calling this function in sigscr.dat? And which testing version or/and NY MG revision is/will include function PreUpdate()?

There is no syntax for SIGSCR files because you can't use Timer classes in SIGSCR files. You can only use it in C# script files.

ChrisJ very kindly made me an OR version with a variable timetable prerun update interval. Tests showed that signalling runs better with a short interval, but at a cost of longer loading times.
Perhaps you might also consider a shorter update interval than the standard 5 seconds? It might be a variable specified in the route .trk

Can somebody please to publish an example of the code of one class of Signal Type here or maybe link to relevant post/site whith the complete one? I'm new in C# and have a mess in my head.

Hi!

Is it some way for Signal Script to define a Multiplayer Mode?

	else if (BLOCK_CLEAR !=# block_state())
	{
		if (Approach_Control_Position (Approach_Control_Req_Position))
		{
			Activate_Timing_Trigger();
		}
	}
	else if (block_state() !=# BLOCK_CLEAR &&
		( Check_Timing_Trigger( 120 ))
	)
		state = SIGASP_STOP_AND_PROCEED;

Hello.

Do I think the timer in the code above doesn't work because of this?

Sincerely, Laci1959

I don't know. I have never used those functions in MSTS signal scripts. But anyway, this is a topic about C# signal scripts, so I don't think this is here we should talk about it. Perhaps opening a topic in "Maybe it's a bug" is appropriate.

Thanks, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought there might be a connection.
