-To be migrated from [[usage:nodes:atc_rail]]+====== LuaAutomation ATC rail ====== 
 +{{ :usage:nodes:advtrains_dtrack_atc_placer.png?80 |}} 
 +LuaATC rails are the core component of the LuaAutomation system. They are used to automate trains by running custom Lua code whenever an event occurs. 
 + 
 +//Note: this page has been written for Advtrains 2.1.0 and Minetest 5.1.0. Examples and practices described in this page don't take advantage of improvements introduced in later releases.// 
 + 
 +===== Properties ===== 
 +Placer Item name: ''advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_placer'' \\  
 +Node names: 
 +  * ''advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_st'' 
 +  * ''advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_st_30'' 
 +  * ''advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_st_45'' 
 +  * ''advtrains_luaautomation:dtrack_st_60'' 
 + 
 +===== Craft recipe ===== 
 + 
 +//This node has no craft recipe.// 
 + 
 +===== Extended description ===== 
 + 
 +  * When the rail is first built, this rail node does nothing. But once right-clicking (or double tapping on Android) the node, a formspec displays, allowing you to write Lua code for the current node. 
 +  * Interacting with the ATC rail requires the ''[[usage:privileges:atlatc|atlatc]]'' privilege. 
 +  * This node can be rotated by the [[usage:tools:trackworker|Trackworker]]. 
 +  * Only straight nodes are supported. You can't put this node on a curve or as a switch. 
 + 
 +===== Operation ===== 
 + 
 +The LuaATC Rail is an active LuaATC component. It holds Lua code that is executed on specific [[usage:atlatc:events]], and interacts with the world using the [[usage:atlatc:api]]. 
 + 
 +Every LuaATC rail must belong to an [[usage:atlatc:environment|Environment]]. You can select the active environment using the dropdown on the top left. 
 + 
 +//Note: you have to create an environment before LuaATC components can be used. See [[usage:atlatc:environment#Creating an Environment]].// 
 + 
 +===== Trivia ===== 
 + 
 +The LuaAutomation ATC rail has the same texture as the [[usage:nodes:atc_controller|ATC controller rail]], but its functions are different.
