"Physic vehicle" PlugIT

This PlugIT allows to create a vehicle affected by the physics engine.

cie
 

Parameters

1

Name of the vehicle's chassis. If the object is already set with a physical body, then this one will be used. In the opposite case, a physical body in created.

2

Defines the vehicle mass.

3

Defines the maximal rotation force of the torque.

4

Defines the gear numbers of the vehicle. Check "Auto gearbox" in order to enable the automatic mode.

5

Defines the friction coefficient of the wheels, lower is the value, more the vehicle skids.

6

Defined wheel list.

7

Defines the use object for the visual render of the wheel.

8

Defines the damping height of the wheel.

9

Defines the damper force.

10

If checked, switch the wheel mode from fix to drive wheel.

11

If checked, the wheel will be directional.

12

Click on "Add" in order to add a wheel, "Set" to modify the created wheel and "Remove" to delete it.


 

Parameters

13

Defines the audio file pour the engine start (use a mono sound for a 3D render).

14

Defines the audio file in loop for the engine (use a mono sound for a 3D render).

15

Defines the audio file in loop for the squealing of the tires (use a mono sound for a 3D render).

16

Defines the audio file for the chassis shock when there is a collision (use a mono sound for a 3D render).

17

Selects the object with the brake light material. When the vehicle brakes, this material will be used.

18

Material name of the brake light.

19

Material technique name of the brake light.

20

Material pass name of the brake light.

21

External camera focal of the vehicle.

22

Minimal view distance of the camera.

23

Maximal view distance of the camera.

24

Minimal distance of the camera from the car.

25

Maximal distance of the camera from the car.

26

Camera angle linked to the vehicle.

27

If checked, it enables the camera when the PlugIT starts.

28

If checked, enables particules when the tires skid.

29

If checked, the engine starts when the PlugIT is on.


 

Events

Speed

Sends the vehicle speed value (Km/h).

Rpm

Sends the wheel rotation speed value in Radian per minute (Rpm).

Gear

Sends the actual gear value.

Steer angle

Sends the directional wheel angle value.


 

Action

Control

Allows to link a "Control" event to the vehicle controlling the wheel directions (with the "Joypad" PlugIT for example).

Reset

Resets the vehicle on its wheels.

Start engine

Starts the vehicle engine.

Stop engine

Stops the vehicle engine.

Brake

Defines the brake coefficient of the vehicle, the value is in the link parameter.

Stop brake

Stops the vehicle brake.

Hand brake

Blocks the vehicle wheels, use "Stop brake" to release it.

Enable camera

Enables the external camera of the vehicle.

Disable camera

Disables the external camera of the vehicle.

Set automatic gearbox

Enables or disables the automatic gearbox, use the 1 or 0 values in the link parameter.

Turn

Defines the wheel rotation coefficient of the vehicle, use a value between 1 or -1 in the link parameter.

Accelerate

Defines the vehicle acceleration coefficient, use a value between 0 or 1 in the link parameter.

Gear up

Gears up the actual gear.

Gear down

Gears up the actual gear.

Reverse

Triggers backward moving in automatique gearbox mode, the acceleration coefficient is define by using a value between 0 or 1 in the link parameter
