Forest

Utility wrapper for accessing the Forest scene object. Caches the forest object ID for efficient repeated lookups.

Utility wrapper for accessing the Forest scene object. Caches the forest object ID for efficient repeated lookups.

Public API

FunctionSignatureDescription
M.getForestObject() → Forest|nilReturns the first Forest object in the scene, caching its ID. Returns nil if no forest exists.

Usage Example

local forest = core_forest.getForestObject()
if forest then
  local items = forest:getData():getItems()
  log('I', 'test', 'Forest has ' .. #items .. ' items')
end

Key Details

  • Searches via scenetree.findClassObjects("Forest") on first call, then caches forestId.
  • Cache is invalidated if the cached object no longer exists in the scenetree.
  • Used by core_dynamicProps and other systems that need to manipulate forest items.

Flowgraph Manager

Central manager for BeamNG's visual scripting system (flowgraphs). Handles creation, loading, serialization, and per-frame execution of flowgraph manager instances.

Fun Stuff

Provides sandbox "fun" actions accessible from the radial quick-access menu: vehicle destruction, physics forces, color randomization, random vehicles, and more.
