Thread: Limiting Damper Travel?

    Limiting Damper Travel?

    Is there a way to alter the amount of travel the the damper makes? It seems after testing a few hours that no matter what values I put into the model.cfg, the damper always animates the same amount. I've tried some very extreme numbers as well. Example from the default model.cfg:

    Spoiler:


    I've tried settings such as:
    minValue = -10;
    maxValue = 10;

    minValue = -1;
    maxValue = 100;

    minValue = -10000;
    maxValue = 10000;

    minValue = -5;
    maxValue = 100;

    minValue = -5000;
    maxValue = 5000;

    ... etc. All appear to provide the same amount of movement, regardless of the value in the model.cfg.

    The only tweak I made that was unexpected is having a positive minvalue and negative maxvalue. Made strange things happen

    The default values are always -1000 / 1000 and I'm starting to wonder if these are just "1" to the engine?

    Code:
      class wheel_2_1_damper
       {
        type="translationY";
        source="damper";
        memory = 1;//by default
        selection="wheel_2_1_damper_land";
        axis="";
    				animPeriod=0;
    				minValue=-.0700;
    				maxValue= .0700;
    			};
    thats what i have on my 6 wheeler that simulates air in tyres as supension .

    Thanks, Thromp! Reducing it to that scale seems to help. Didn't think it would need to be that low since the default is 1000.
