Description

Description:

Limits or sets a player-controlled vehicle's speed through cruise control.
Speed Limiter and Cruise Control are implemented using a PID controller overwriting the vehicles thrust input.
Cruise control is implemented as a speed limiter that simulates 100% thrust input by the player.
If you apply brakes while cruise control is enabled, the cruise control (and speed limit) will automatically disengage.
If (deltaSpeed > setpoint*20% && speed > setpoint) the vehicle will automatically apply 50% brakes to try to get back down to the setpoint.
If (deltaSpeed > setpoint*20% && speed < setpoint) the vehicle will always apply 100% thrust.

⚠

Executing this script command resets the PID controller.

Meaning if you do it every frame you will break the automatic thrust control, so don't do that.
You should only call setCruiseControl to change the setpoint.

This command only works for:

• The local player
• CarX, TankX and ShipX simulated vehicles
• Forward speeds (positive speed)

Groups:

Unit ControlObject Manipulation

Syntax

Syntax:

vehicle setCruiseControl [speed, autoThrust]

Parameters:

vehicle: Object - The vehicle to limit

speed: Number - Desired/top speed in km/h. 0 to disable any setting. Only positives values are valid, negative values will make the vehicle unable to move forward

autoThrust: Boolean

• true - Cruise control. The vehicle will maintain this speed until brakes is applied or driver dies or leaves the vehicle
• false - Speed limiter. The vehicle will not accelerate above set speed

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

vehicle player setCruiseControl [50, true]; // sets cruise control to 50 km/h

Example 2:

vehicle player setCruiseControl [5, false]; // limits player's vehicle speed to 5 km/h
