Dual-Axis Lever Animation

Animates a prop lever that moves on two axes simultaneously (e.g., joystick-style controls). Maps two input values to X and Y rotation of the lever mesh.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(jbeamData)Sets up coordinate maps for shifter positions and initializes movement queues for smooth multi-step animations.
updateGFX(dt)Main animation loop. Advanced the lever through the target queue, including intermediate coordinates for complex paths, and updates electrics for visual materials.
module.reset(jbeamData)Resets the controller to its initial state.

Rim Pull Control

Controls maximum tractive effort (rim pull) on heavy equipment. Limits wheel torque to prevent tire spin in low-traction conditions, commonly used on wheel loaders and construction equipment.

Googly Eyes Animation

A fun cosmetic controller that animates googly eyes on the vehicle. The eyes react to vehicle acceleration, turning, and bumps with physics-based wobble animations.
