General OpenTTD • Re: Age old question: "Load until full or next train arrives" function?

So I tried this counter...

Why are the trains not leaving the station? The counter is named 'gogogo'. The counter is increased when a train passes the signal with blue arrow, and the counter is decreased when a train passes the pink arrow signal. This works.

Now I thought a train would 'jump to order 4' when the counter is above 2. But they just sit there in the station. (All trains have shared orders.)

What am I missing? The goal is to keep the trains loading in the station, until a third train arrives, then one of them should leave. (So the pink signal will need to be set at every station exit later on.)

EDIT: Removing the 'full load any cargo' makes them all leave at the counter threshold. Ideally only one of them should leave.
