Automatic Metro Driver

-- AUTOMATIC METRO DRIVER script --

When you have a really large station you might want a transport system from one end to the other. With this script you can automate that. This script is intended to drive your train/tram/metro or something similar thruster propelled wheeled vehicle on a straight track.

What you need for it to work:
- programmable block containing this script
- timer block
- remote control block
- thrusters paralel to the track

What you can have but not mandatory:
- LCD screen(s) to show some information like which is the next station
- timer block to trigger when arrived to a station
- timer block to trigger when leaving a station

How to setup:
1 Set the timer block to run this programmable block without any argument, then trigger itself.
2 Grab control of the remote control block, and drive your vehicle to a desired station.
3 Open K menu, go to GPS tab, and create a new from current pos. (rememeber to keep controlling the
remote control while doing this)
4 Select the newly created GPS point, give it a sensible name, then click on the Copy to clipboard button
5 Add a new line to the programmable block's Custom Data like: "Station=" (whitout quotes) then paste here the
copied gps data.
6 Repeat from 2 as many times as you want, you have to have at least 2 station.
7 Add additional config values to the Custom Data if you want, or leave everything on default.
8 Set the argument of the programmable block to "toggle" (whithout the quotes of course) then press Run
9 Enjoy the ride

Limitations
--------------
The script is designed to go on a straight track. It might work on slight turns, but it's untested, try it on your own risk!
It's also untested on planets, but shouldn't have any problems there.
