Carts not going into station #16

Closed Thedragon25419 closed 11 years ago

For some reason my carts are going to the correct ring but not into the station.

I will need more information to consider it as a bug. Are you sure that the station is correctly built ? Is there an address written on the BC9001 sign ? Does the lever go to the same position even if you flip it manually ?

Well, the cart is going to the correct ring but its not going into the station path. The station is set like the one in your video. 2013-04-13_17 17 03 2013-04-13_17 17 04 2013-04-13_17 17 10 2013-04-13_17 17 15 2013-04-13_17 17 21 As you can see, the cart is going right past the station 1.1.1

I am a first time user so I have no idea if I'm using it right, but i've followed the tutorial twice now and am getting the same results. just a basic 4-station ring and the cart simply never stops, no matter what destination i give it, it loops forever. the stations look pretty much exactly like the ones pictured here, the junctions all turn left when unpowered, the signs populated themselves with "Station" so I assume they are also correct. the carts get a ticket, but they dont get to the station.

I tried 2 more times... with the previous release of the plugin. same results. i enabled debugging and there were no errors or strange messages, just a whole bunch of this:

I think I may have found the something, The signs from my pics and andrepl's pics have the signs tilted on some. I am not sure if that is the problem but I think it might be a factor to consider.

andrepl commented 11 years ago

I think you're right, I straightened out my signs and it ALMOST works, but I still have a problem where carts are leaving the station and turning right instead of left. one of them event stopped at the wrong station by going into the first station to the right instead of the first one to the left.

catageek commented 11 years ago

This is because you use levers in your stations. Using a lever is possible only if you have 1 entry and 1 exit distinct.

For those simple stations you must use buttons.

andrepl commented 11 years ago

Ah, that works. Excellent. is the angled-sign thing a bug or is it supposed to work that way? its quite difficult to get them straight without breaking the track.

catageek commented 11 years ago

You are right, but the plugin use the direction of the sign to find other components such as levers or buttons. It was not possible to make it different, or with performance issue.

Anyway the problem is that the plugin remains silent when such a situation occurs. It is fixed.
