Description

Animated switch blades and switch levers.

This is a special waypoint that is used to animate switch blades and switch levers. Put the Waypoint marker at the straight track after the frog. The blades assumes the correct position when the track is reserved for a train in the game. Advantageously used together with Switch Kit DE/AT and is adapted to radii 190, 300 and 500.

Limitations:

Since the blades are built out of waypoints it will only sense trains in one direction. One therefore has to choose which direction the train most likely will come from. Works because of that best on one-way tracks.
Must be built on even ground and not in a bend. If the track is curving immediately after the switch the blades might be shifted sideways
There could be gaps between the blades and the rails of the switch in some cases. Try shifting along the track.

Use at your own risk.

Hello. Can't you move the rotation point closer to the switch? This would allow them to be installed on curved sections.

Hello,
I have just watched your video from Mariupol and it looks great. I could look into curved switches at some point, but i hesitate to promise anyting.

Dear pyromanuel, I like your mod very much, it makes my builds much more realistic, and I can't really build switches without it anymore. You can check what it looks like if you'd like https://youtu.be/CFBMqR9dzOk .
However, because of that I'm a bit restricted with layouts I can build (only 3 strait 190, 300, 500 switches)
So my question is, is it possible to add at least a couple of another variations - blades for curved switches (the ones which can be created with switch kit), for a couple of radiuses like 300 & 500, and maybe also add option for radii 700, to be able to make high speed switches?

As far as I know is it not possible to add a slider since it is a waypoint and not an asset. Wayppoints and signals can't have variables associated with them,
