Wheel Module

The Wheel Module allows the user to control wheel suspension blocks on the grid. Wheels (motor suspensions) are essential for ground vehicles, rovers, and other wheeled craft. This module provides commands for adjusting wheel height offset, allowing for fine-tuned control over vehicle ride height and suspension behavior.

Commands

wheel/height

Set the height offset of a wheel or group of wheels. The height offset controls the suspension position, with negative values lowering the wheel and positive values raising it.

wheel/height <Wheel|Group> <Height> [--options]

Options

Example

Set the front wheels to a height offset of -0.5m:

wheel/height "Front Wheels" -0.5;

Raise the rear wheels by 0.2m:

wheel/height "Rear Wheels" 0.2 --add;

Lower all wheels by 0.1m:

wheel/height "All Wheels" 0.1 --sub;

wheel/power

Set the power of a wheel or group of wheels as a percentage. Power controls how much force the wheel applies when driving.

wheel/power <Wheel|Group> <Power%>

Example

Set all wheels to 50% power:

wheel/power "All Wheels" 50;

Set front wheels to full power:

wheel/power "Front Wheels" 100;

wheel/friction

Set the friction of a wheel or group of wheels as a percentage. Friction affects how much grip the wheel has on surfaces.

wheel/friction <Wheel|Group> <Friction%>

Example

Set all wheels to 75% friction:

wheel/friction "All Wheels" 75;

Reduce front wheel friction for drifting:

wheel/friction "Front Wheels" 25;

wheel/strength

Set the strength of a wheel or group of wheels as a percentage. Strength controls the suspension stiffness.

wheel/strength <Wheel|Group> <Strength%>

Example

Set all wheels to maximum strength:

wheel/strength "All Wheels" 100;

Soften rear suspension:

wheel/strength "Rear Wheels" 40;
