Hi,
I disabled ReverseAsBrake in VehicleMovementComponent so I can set the gear I want for reverse and forward, it works as expected however there’s a strange behavior when the vehicle is stationary and you change the gears twice while still stationary.
For example:
Put gear in reverse, move the car it moves in reverse which is expected.
Stop the vehicle and put the gear to forward and back to reverse again.
Result: Car moves forward ignoring the set gear to reverse.
Here’s a video demo:
I used 2 buttons to set the target gear
I figured it out, it’s caused by some vehicle sleep behavior, once I disabled It solved a lot of weird issues with chaos vehicle component.
Console command. p.Vehicle.DisableVehicleSleep 1
The vehicle wakes up when certain events happen like controls (accelerating, braking etc) or something like collision. I think SetTargetGear should also wake up the vehicle or at least recognize the new gear especially with the Immediate flag set to true.
For controls there’s this flag p.Vehicle.ControlInputWakeTolerance //Default value 0.02
This was one of the ways I kept the vehicle awake, I simply kept the throttle at 0.02 which prevented the vehicle from sleeping.
