Detailed Description

Runtime data for transmission.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetClutchFriction()

float VehicleTransmission::GetClutchFriction ( ) const
inline

Value between 0 and 1 indicating how much friction the clutch gives (0 = no friction, 1 = full friction)

◆ GetCurrentGear()

int VehicleTransmission::GetCurrentGear ( ) const
inline

Current gear, -1 = reverse, 0 = neutral, 1 = 1st gear etc.

◆ GetCurrentRatio()

float VehicleTransmission::GetCurrentRatio ( ) const

Return the transmission ratio based on the current gear (ratio between engine and differential)

◆ IsSwitchingGear()

bool VehicleTransmission::IsSwitchingGear ( ) const
inline

If the auto box is currently switching gears.

◆ RestoreState()

void VehicleTransmission::RestoreState ( StateRecorder inStream)

◆ SaveState()

void VehicleTransmission::SaveState ( StateRecorder inStream) const

Saving state for replay.

◆ Set()

void VehicleTransmission::Set ( int  inCurrentGear,
float  inClutchFriction 
)
inline

Set input from driver regarding the transmission (only relevant when transmission is set to manual mode)

Parameters
inCurrentGearCurrent gear, -1 = reverse, 0 = neutral, 1 = 1st gear etc.
inClutchFrictionValue between 0 and 1 indicating how much friction the clutch gives (0 = no friction, 1 = full friction)

◆ Update()

void VehicleTransmission::Update ( float  inDeltaTime,
float  inCurrentRPM,
float  inForwardInput,
bool  inCanShiftUp 
)

Update the current gear and clutch friction if the transmission is in aut mode

Parameters
inDeltaTimeTime step delta time in s
inCurrentRPMCurrent RPM for engine
inForwardInputHint if the user wants to drive forward (> 0) or backwards (< 0)
inCanShiftUpIndicates if we want to allow the transmission to shift up (e.g. pass false if wheels are slipping)
