Launcher does not working?

[bergerkiller]

Still not working with https://ci.mg-dev.eu/job/TrainCarts/1254/ ?

Did you power the sign, or use [+train]?

[niwatori-chicken]

Unfortunately, it does not work.

[niwatori-chicken]

@1.18.2

[bergerkiller]

Can you give me more information to work with? Screenshot where the launch sign and rails are both visible? Make sure placement is correct. See:

[niwatori-chicken]

Placement is correct, sign is next to power rail.

[bergerkiller]

does it work on normal rails? And it should be attached to a block below the rails. For sign posts, below the rail.

Verify correct placement with a [+train] destroy sign

[niwatori-chicken]

also not working on normal rail

[bergerkiller]

Can you please make a screenshot? Im not seeing what youre seeing at all. Also, make sure traincarts is at all enabled. Check /train version.

[bergerkiller]

What is the output of /train version and /version ? Sign setup looks correct. But it's possible that minecart isn't even handled by traincarts. Can you select it by looking at it and doing /train edit ?

It should also be noted, without specifying a distance time or acceleration after launch itll launch to the end of the rail, which can take a while. Instantaneous launch would be:

[+train]
launch 2
1
continue

[bergerkiller]

Oh hold on, I got something. Destroying the sign and placing it again broke it.

Does /train debug fix signs fix this on your end as well? I'll look into this.

[niwatori-chicken]

Unfortunately, the problem was not resolved. :(

[bergerkiller]

Can you see if this build helps resolve these issues? https://ci.mg-dev.eu/job/TrainCarts/1257/

[niwatori-chicken]

not working :(

[bergerkiller]

Does [+train] destroy sign work for you? Or not either?

[niwatori-chicken]

[+train] destroy

is working

[bergerkiller]

Okay so when you see its not working....does that mean that when you place a minecart on the rail where the launch sign as described in your image is at, it doesnt start moving?

[niwatori-chicken]

No, it moves, but its speed is fixed at 0.4 blocks per tick.

[bergerkiller]

Ah. Then you need to change the speed limit of the train as well. You can launch to a new max speed with the speed limit syntax: https://wiki.traincarts.net/p/TrainCarts/Signs/Launcher#Speed_limit_syntax

[!train]
launch 5
1.0 0.0
continue

Will launch from the current speed to a speed of 1.0 smoothly over a distance of 5 blocks, raising the speed limit if needed, and sets a new speed limit for the train.

The second number (0.0) is energy left over. If you set that very high, then the train will not slow down and after the launch keeps moving at a constant velocity of 1.0.

This would do the same launch, but at the end of it gives the train 200 energy, so the train will not slow down for a while. If you disable slowdown / friction / gravity entirely then all this has no effect.

[+train]
launch 5
1.0 200.0
continue

[niwatori-chicken]

it works! thank you for resolve my shitty problems!

[bergerkiller]

Glad that got resolved. Did find a bug in the end though (placing a sign and then a train on top within 3s didn't make the train see the sign) so it was time well spent :)

[niwatori-chicken]

Thanks so much!
