To be honest, I have no idea if this is even possible, but what I'm looking for is an engine driving the rear axle and pneumatic electric motors driving the front axle. Of course, many things end up conflicting (in my particular case, I can control engine throttle but can't shift, and the motors' tach is displaying despite it not responding to throttle inputs). I have next to no Lua experience, but I'm willing to jump in if needed. (shitty diagram is shitty)
This is perfectly possible, since it's a non standard powertrain layout, you'll have to write a bunch of custom code to make it work properly though.
Thanks! How can I get started? (For now, I'm looking to make both the motors and engine respond to throttle, but I don't see anything in the Lua Reference wiki page for throttle inputs or sensors.)
I'm using the SBR4's spoiler.lua as a base and I believe I've got the structure down, but I still have no idea how to transfer a throttle input value to motor throttle, syntax-wise (throttle control from Lua file, in the same vein as spoiler control via brake input). Any help from anybody is welcome.
I know I'm sounding rather desperate at this point, but I have no leads. All I need is for someone who knows a thing or two about Lua to put me on track.
