Where are all the trigger codes located to set something like "DoesHornTriggerBell" etc?

I can't seem to find it, I've looked in many different files.

To make the horn trigger the bell it involves writing an engine script. I don't know much else about writing an engine script to help you more with that.

Nope. Just a change in the mapper.

Can you make it trigger Horn and Bell? Because I looked at the Empire builder P42 mapper for example, and space bar only triggers Horn... not bell, but the bell still does trigger with the horn.

What do you mean by mapper?

A mapper is used to tell the game what control to change virtually when you physically hit a certain button on your keyboard. For instance: If you press the "B" key, then it tells the game to play the Bell but it's possible to edit the mapper and assign any control to any key.

If that's the case, then it's indeed scripted but you still can make it work for any other engine/dlc.

I was just looking through the mapper file for the PennCoal ES44 (Norfolk Southern) and I saw the keyboard assignments for each key, but nothing about the bell activating when the horn is sounded (and I know that the PennCoal ES44 and Dash 9 bells are activated when the horn is sounded). Is there somewhere else to look for it? (I'm hoping to modify all of my locomotives that don't have auto bell activation in game but have it in real life. It seems a lot more difficult than I anticipated )

The bell on both loco's is activated through a script, but again, if you like to add it to any other engine, simply create a new mapper file for it and reference it in the engine.bin file.

Sorry if this sounds like a hair-pulling question, but to create a new mapper file, should I create a new .bin file and keep some of the lines of code such as what I pasted below?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cBlueprintLoader xmlns:d="http://www.kuju.com/TnT/2003/Delta" d:version="1.0">
<Blueprint>
<cInputMapperBlueprint>
<RemapperName d:type="cDeltaString">ES44mapper</RemapperName>
<Map>

You can use any existing mapper file and simply add a new control or create your own new mapper file but in this case to activate the bell it's not necessary.
