It seems like clutchStrength works fine on blueprints, I’m trying to modify this through on runtime using an axis (G29 clutch) value.
Initially I planned to extend the Vehicle actor class and set the clutch… but no… is not that easy… I have to extend the Vehicle Movement component… and use that component on my Vehicle class… Well I have that solved… then I thought it was going to work by changing the TransmissionSetup.ClutchStrength = [float whatever I want];. Well… no…
TransmissionSetup seems to be there just to "feed"the following:
/** update simulation data: transmission */
void UpdateTransmissionSetup(const FVehicleTransmissionData& NewGearSetup);
Easy! I tried to think… but no… not that easy:
TransmissionSetup.ClutchStrength = force;
UpdateTransmissionSetup(TransmissionSetup);
Seems to work… no errors… it runs fine… but no clutch is updated… checking up WheeledVehicleMovementComponent4W.cpp I found this:
void UWheeledVehicleMovementComponent4W::UpdateTransmissionSetup(const FVehicleTransmissionData& NewTransmissionSetup)
{
#if WITH_PHYSX
if (PVehicleDrive)
{
PxVehicleGearsData GearData;
GetVehicleGearSetup(NewTransmissionSetup, GearData);
PxVehicleAutoBoxData AutoBoxData;
GetVehicleAutoBoxSetup(NewTransmissionSetup, AutoBoxData);
PxVehicleDrive4W* PVehicleDrive4W = (PxVehicleDrive4W*)PVehicleDrive;
PVehicleDrive4W->mDriveSimData.setGearsData(GearData);
PVehicleDrive4W->mDriveSimData.setAutoBoxData(AutoBoxData);
}
#endif // WITH_PHYSX
}
Where’s the clutch data being passed to the Physx vehicle???
And this is where I get completelly stuck!!!
Any help is appreciated!!!
