Depot can not generate road event

[Leslie]

Leaving depot can not generate road enter event.
If vehicle enters to more roads at once (because first is too short) than event of 2nd road also not triggered.
It is a question of consideration but I think warning is required in all documents.

I think not, @Leslie
You have an event "vehicle exits depot" which is sufficient for all purposes.

The "enter track" event isn't triggered in this instance, because this event requires for a vehicle to drive over the threshhold (i.e. the beginning of a track). Which doesn't happen when the depot places the vehicle on the track.

I understand that the language barrier makes it a little harder for you to get to grips with the 3D Train Studio. But may I suggest you spend a little more time with it, before you flood the forum with requests? Get a feel for it. It is well structured. 

Events like "vehicle enters track" are events which happen anyway, with or with out the event manager involved. To make vehicles follow tracks, they need to be passed on from one track object to the next each time they cross a threshold. To animate a signal, the change of its state is an event which the studio responds to. The change of a switching point is an event that makes the studio activate one track while deactivating another.

The event manager is an extra that lets users list additional commands to be executed in such events.

Kind regards

I accepted the organization of this program and can use now. I also think no need to change the program, understood philosophy.
But this is a very funny for me. I think if the vehicle is on the road because of it entered sooner. And no: not entered.
Additionally some vehicles trigger this event normally while others not (different vehicle length). This is why I think a necesserity of warnings on documents.

The reason why you misunderstand this behaviour is this:
"Vehicle enters track" actually means "crossing the beginning of a track piece", i.e coming in from another track piece .

When you place a new vehicle on a track piece, that action doesn't trigger "vehicle enters track" either, because the vehicle doesn't run over the threshold. It's placed somewhere on the track and then connected to it. And that is a completely different type of event, in spite of the outcome looking quite similar.

Most users seem to understand that difference, which is why I'm not sure if a warning is really required. But that's not up to me to decide.
