How to face forwards when going backwards
#6
I have a similar issue -- I thought there might be a simple solution already but it doesn't appear to be so. I'd like to create a loop back track from a switch (where the follow up spline from the main branch loops back to the diverging branch (in railroad terms, a 'balloon track').  Reading the solution above, I can get it to work by flipping the follow up spline, but I'd rather not do that -- I think it's going to get messy if there are multiple trains on the track -- and would much rather be able to set the spline controller logic to deal with it by using a connecting point listener and attaching a script at the CP. But so far, all in my attempts to do a double reverse -- changing the various parameters of the spline controller (trying ignore direction, flip flop, etc.) -- the train just gets stuck, flip-flopping at the connection point. Do you have any suggestions?
