According to the manual the following cabview control is avaible :

"ORTS_PLAYER_DIESEL_ENGINE_STATE .
This control respectively selects frames 0, 1, 2, 3 for the player locomotive engine states Stopped, Starting, Running and Stopping. It is a display-only control".

My question is whether I can assign 4 frames to view these states on the locomotive dashboard or are they only visible in the ``Train Driving Info`` HUD ? I tried to assign 4 LEDs for these states on the board but this command does not work (it is invisible) !

Thank you!

As usual, doesn't it work?

Hello!

I tried according to the example in the manual the following block:

MultiState (
Type ( ORTS_PLAYER_DIESEL_ENGINE_STATE TRI_STATE)
Position ( 266 292.5 8 8 )
Graphic ( Regim_functionare_motor )
States ( 4 4 1 )
Style ( NONE )
MouseControl ( 1 )
Orientation ( 0 )
DirIncrease ( 1 )
)


but it didn't work!


I will try to revise according to your suggested block.

Thank You!

It isn't TRISTATE certainly, as we know, it has 4 states.

MultiStateDYSPLAY (
Type ( ORTS_PLAYER_DIESEL_ENGINE_STATE TRIMULTI_STATE_DYSPLAY)
Position ( 266 292.5 8 8 )
Graphic ( Regim_functionare_motor.ACE )
States ( 4 4 1
State (
Style ( 0 )
SwitchVal ( 0 )
)
State (
Style ( 0 )
SwitchVal ( 0.25 )
)
State (
Style ( 0 )
SwitchVal ( 0.5 )
)
State (
Style ( 0 )
SwitchVal ( 0.75 )
)
)
Style ( NONE )
MouseControl ( 1 )
Orientation ( 0 )
DirIncrease ( 1 )
)

I know and understand what you have exposed, but it is the example in the manual. Apart from the term ``.ace`` which I forgot to copy in my example the rest is ``copy paste`` from the manual.

Unfortunately the block you suggested doesn't work either and I don't know why! I am attaching the proofs.LED marked in pictures does not light up!


Thank You!

Regim_functionare_motor .ace
I see a space defore ".ace"
Is it within actual filename?
The rest looking right,
I'm only not sure about SwitchValues, I suggested.

How does that *.ace look like?
As an overlay?
If You'll shift it for seeing is it really works and what wrames does it actually show?

[Keilen]

Yes, the mistake detected is the same as the one exposed. There is a break between the name and .ACE. I corrected it and now it works. It's super OK. Thanks again.

[Weter]

Yes, read and understand Your LOG-file after evety test.
Go further, than we stay now.
Good luck.

Way to go Weter!
You've got a good eye.

It just so happened, Randy.
Insofar, my experience and skills are out of work for last 1,5 years, why not to use that for helping the other one?
