Train

###Definition A train is a group of carts close enough one to each other to be considered as a whole for ByteCart devices. The first cart of a train must hold the destination address of the train, with 32 added to station number. The carts following it closely will go to same destination.

Note : there is no physical link between carts in a train like in plugin TrainCarts. Carts are not tight together. A ByteCart train is just a flow of carts with a special mark in the heading cart.

Maximum interval between 2 carts of the same train is called train time slot.

###Building a train As it is not easy to place several carts on a track and to make to start in the same direction, ByteCart provides a sign BC7001 to help you to build and start a train. Use a chained line of BC7001 start/stop sign, place the carts on it while in "stop" position.

BC7001 chains may be used to stop the train when needed, for example before entering the network, while waiting the extinction of the "red light" signal given by BC9001.

The destination address must be contained in the first cart, with 32 added to the station number. You can use the commands mego or sendto with the option "train" following the address to do this automatically.

For example, for a train going to station 1.10.14, you must put the address 1.10.46 (46 = 14 + 32) in the first cart, or type /sendto 1.10.14 train (or /mego for a player).

###Train features ByteCart signs have full compatibility with trains:

• BC7011 update only the address of the first cart, leaving other unchanged.

• BC8010, BC8011 and the BC90XX serie are compatible with trains.

• Anti-collision features are strongly recommanded in multi-player or multi-train environment.
