My Jbeam/Json Questions Thread

So, my question is as follows.

if I want a tuning option that creates a specific value, but I want an option which adds a modifier to said value when toggled on, how would I do that?

I basically need "$=$value1 + 0.25 * $value2"

so if we call Value1 "A" and Value2 "B"

I need A = A +(0.25 x B)

so if B = 1 then it'll add 0.25 to A but if B = 0 then the Value of A = A unchanged.
I want to do this without accidently making A = 0

How can I self contain that in Json/Jbeam?



Please ignore the odd use of uppercase on the "$Tuning" variable.

 

according to
https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/sections/variables/ :

When using the variable inside a function, it will once again replace the number you’d use there usually. The function should start with $=. The entire function should be in quotation marks. See the example bellow for a case of using a function to adjust the Y coordinate of a node.

["fh2r", -0.65, "$=$caster_F*0.00175-1.2", 0.32],

It is very important to use the “$=Function” syntax, or else the parser won’t calculate the function correctly.

---however it doesn't say anything about multiple operations in a single $=Function call.
I cannot test atm, but you might try creating a temp variable:

$valueTemp:"$=value1 + 0.25"

$value1:"$=valueTemp * value2"

 

That's fine, I don't really particularly need it anymore.

Another question.

I cannot find this in BeamNG's documentation on Jbeam

But if you don't specify a value for "dampCutoffHz" does it just default to 2000hz? (physics engine max?)

Or what is the default value? 1000hz?
