Empires Scripting Documentation

Overview

Vehicle handling scripts have quite a few variables. This tries to describe the parameters you can use to fine tune vehicle handling.

Also see: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Vehicles_(Scripting_Parameters)

vehicle Properties

body

massCenterOverride
massOverride
addGravity - Applies extra gravity to the vehicle
tiltForce
tiltForceHeight
counterTorqueFactor
keepUprightTorque
maxAngularVelocity

engine

steering

axle

A vehicle can have multiple axle definitions.

wheels

suspension

vehicle_sounds Properties

A vehicle_sounds entry can have multiple of the following sections:

state

Name

Example
