As a result, the internal time used by Advtrains is not synchronized to real-life time due to lag and server restarts. Railway time was therefore introduced as a method of accurately measuring internal time and, with this information, implementing a scheduling system. It can, however, also be set up to keep in sync with real-life time. - -Railway time is counted in cycles, minutes, and seconds, roughly corresponding to their real-life counterparts, with cycles roughly corresponding to hours. For a valid railway time object, it is expected that - -* The "cycles" element is an integer, -* The "minutes" element is an integer between 0 and 59 (inclusive), and -* The "seconds" element is an integer between 0 and 59 (inclusive). - -Railway time may be represented in three formats: - -* As a table with the `c`, `m`, `s` fields holding the cycles, minutes, and seconds, respectively, -* As a string with the cycles, minutes and seconds delimited with a semicolon, -* For zero cycles, as a string with the minutes and seconds delimited with a semicolon, or -* As a number representing the number of seconds since 0;0;0. - -If railway time is represented as a string, each element may have a variable length and do not require padding zeroes, and an element of the string may be empty if it is at the beginning or the end of the string. - -The railway time API is available in the `advtrains.interlocking.rwt` table or, for LuaATC, in the `rwt` table. |
