Point Lever question

[miglietto]

Hi

I'm wondering if it's possible to associate a custom object indicating the position of a manual switch, aside the lever itself.
I would like to have a sort of rotating lamp box like the one showed below.



Do I have to link it with the signalling system or is it possible to add this box along the 3D object of the lever and assigning its own animation in the junction blueprint ?
I hope to have been clear enough

Just for the record, I have seen in the examples that for levers are defined two identical anim sets (move.IA and move2.IA). It's there any particular reason for that ?

Thanks in advance
Andrea

yes you can but you will have to make it your self

There are two options:
1) You define a track route that uses your object as the point lever. Of course, then there is no extra lever, only your lamp, and the position is the same for all switches (relative to the switch position).

2) You define a junction signal which is not a block signal, but only a shunting signal. There is no script in the default content which is suitable for this unmodified, but it will be included in those which I develop.

Just out of curiosity I added to my switch lever a child object with his own animation 180 deg around Y axis and it did the job !
Here a test. The lamp box spins smoothly following the lever movement
