Special Decision for selected seed group Yesterday at 23:27 #160826

Apologies if this already exists, but I was unable to find this in the manual or forum.
The idea is to have special decision with the name of something like [SeedGrp] with the choices being the seeding group that was selected at launch of sim.

The reason I was requesting this is I am currently sorting out seeding groups for my Cornish timetable, and a train enters shortly before the seed time with the next seeding option being 15 minutes down the line, I'm going to have to seed it at that location and just accept it will be early, but thought having it enter a few minutes behind schedule would a be better compromise and the best way I could work out how to do this is to use a decision based on the seeding group as I fear rules to prevent the delayed (seed) train from entering would not be resilient in the event the timetable is being run with delays and reliably enter the correct train.


I was also thinking about the format for the choices because having just the time of the seed group as the choice name wouldn't work as you can have multiple seeding groups with the same time. Using the seeding group name could run into problems if existing names have square brackets or pipes, causing interference with special choices but is probably the best option (HH:MM-<name>). The only other option I could come up with is to use the internal ID for the seeding group (eg: B7740164-9C37-42B1-9E55-05C3689B13D0), but this is not user friendly as the only way to get this is from SavedTimetable.xml or TimetableHeader.xml within the WTT file.

The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails

Could you create a dummy train in the seed group (something like a pilot seeding just outside the depot and running straight in) with the "Enter on time" box checked on the Train Details tab of the train TT then have rules to govern any entries x minutes after the seed which should have entered on time?
