Hi all, i'm trying to add rail-signals and rail-chain-signal to created rails, but i do not understand how to join them between each other..

Code: Select all

railEntity = surface.create_entity{ force=game.player.force, name = "straight-rail", position = fPos, direction = defines.direction.west}

sPos = shallowcopy(fPos)
sPos.x = sPos.x+1
sPos.y = sPos.y-2

railSignalEntity = surface.create_entity{ force=game.player.force, name = "rail-signal", position = sPos, direction = defines.direction.west}
sPos.y = sPos.y+3
surface.create_entity{ force=game.player.force, name = "rail-chain-signal", position = sPos, direction = defines.direction.east}

all works, i have a rail, and both signals, but signals are not connected to rail. How do join them?

Signals will automatically try to connect to rails when they are created. Only things you need to take care of is for the position to be exactly on a tile center, direction to be correct and to not have signals on an adjacent tile in the direction of a signal.

Your signals have incorrect direction.
