Hey colleagues,

I'm going on with creating my own contents because I didn't like some sounds.

There is the Knorr D12 brake lever. The lever has a clicking sound when pulled, then you can hear the gas flowing through the system. I wanted to get that clicking sound exactly once, as soon as the lever is pulled. My problem is, it is sometimes played multiple times after applying or releasing the brakes. I tried to use DisableTrigger and EnableTrigger with DiscreteTrigger 14, 139 and even VariableTrigger ( BrakeCyl...) but it doesn't do much.

Solution would be to play it once and disable it until the pressure stops changing, either upwards or downwards.

Sample:

Stream (
				Priority ( 5 )
				Triggers ( 7
					Discrete_Trigger ( 17	PlayOneShot ( 1	File ( "this should be the clicking sound.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod ( SequentialSelection ) ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 14	PlayOneShot ( 1 File ( "V43_V4_fekfolym.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod ( SequentialSelection ) ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 14	DisableTrigger ( 2 ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 14	EnableTrigger ( 5 ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 54	PlayOneShot ( 1 File ( "V43_V4_fekfolym.wav" -1 ) SelectionMethod ( SequentialSelection ) ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 54	DisableTrigger ( 2 ) )
					Discrete_Trigger ( 54	EnableTrigger ( 5 ) )
				)
			)

(I deleted all my experiments, this was the raw entry from another sms).

Any suggestions?


Thanks, cheers.

Hello.
Good idea, as always.
There are MSTS separate triggers for handle advance: throttle, reverser, Train and Engine brake.
Please, see reference, cause I haven't in in my hands just now. For me, they work well.

I always use the https://open-rails.r...test/sound.html as a reference.

There is only Trigger 17 for Trainbrakechange as far as I see.

One can also use 14 for TrainBrakePressureIncrease which in fact plays the sound only once, but there is a disturbingly long delay between moving the lever and the sound.

IIRC, that's Discrete Trigger #17
Nothing to do with pressure change for simulation of fixator's clicks.
The secret is making separate streams for clicks and air hiss.

You can make a loop for hiss, while put all the clicks of cab controls to seperate stream with many triggers and one-shot commands.
Doubtfully, You will click all things in cab at the same time, so, that will likely be enough.

For hiss and brakeshoes rumbling, see these triggers:
139
TrainBrakePressureStoppedChanging : for rolling stock equipped with train brakes, to use with triggers 14 and 54, triggered when the automatic brake pressure stops changing
140
EngineBrakePressureStoppedChanging : for locomotives with engine/independent brakes, to use with triggers 21 and 22, triggered when the engine brake pressure stops changing
141
BrakePipePressureIncrease : for rolling stock equipped with train brakes, triggered when brake pipe/brakeline pressure increases
142
BrakePipePressureDecrease : for rolling stock equipped with train brakes, triggered when brake pipe/brakeline pressure decreases
143
BrakePipePressureStoppedChanging : for rolling stock equipped with train brakes, triggered when brake pipe/brakeline pressure stops changing

My problem is with the clicking sound when moving the lever, the hissing one is functioning correctly (surprisingly :dance3: ).
I just dont want the clicking sound to be played again while it hisses.

Here is the real one to be simulated (1:19 in case it doesn't start from there):

Edit: well he's moving it too fast :D so there's not really that rattling sound, but it should be when moving the lever.

The other thing might be lever's setting.
If it's being set as notched (zero) - player will have to press keyboard every time - and click will be played with each press.
If it's being set as range (one) - player can hold keyboard's button and lever will move, playing only one click (if "one shot")

Thanks for your efforts!
I guess it is a matter of compromise.
