Pyrotechnic Charge Controller

Controls explosive pyrotechnic charges that can detach vehicle parts or apply sudden forces. Used for effects like ejection seats, detachable body panels, or demolition simulations.

Controls explosive pyrotechnic charges that can detach vehicle parts or apply sudden forces. Used for effects like ejection seats, detachable body panels, or demolition simulations.


Public API

FunctionDescription
trigger()Immediately executes the charge: plays the sound effect, breaks all listed JBeam breakgroups, and detaches specified couplers.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(jbeamData)Sets up the detection logic for electrical triggers and identifies which mechanical parts to 'explode'.
updateGFX(dt)Monitors the specified electrics signals. Upon detection, it calls trigger().
module.reset()Resets the controller to its initial state.

Usage Example

-- Detonate a pyrotechnic charge
controller.getController("pyrotechnicCharge").detonate()
