public class SkidmarkManager : Effect

Fields

fallbackMaterial

Material used when the current surface has no skidmark material assigned or the surface is null.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Material that will be used if no material is assigned to current surface or current surface is null.")]
public Material fallbackMaterial

Field Value

Type	Description
Material

globalSkidmarkIntensity

Higher value gives darker skidmarks for the same slip.

Declaration

[Range(0, 5)]
[Tooltip("Higher value will give darker skidmarks for the same slip.")]
public float globalSkidmarkIntensity

Field Value

Type	Description
float

groundOffset

Height above ground at which skidmarks are drawn.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Height above ground at which skidmarks will be drawn.")]
public float groundOffset

Field Value

Type	Description
float

intensitySmoothing

How fast the skidmark fades in/out. Higher is faster, 10-20 is a good range.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Controls how fast the skidmark fades in/out. Higher = faster response. 10-20 is good.")]
public float intensitySmoothing

Field Value

Type	Description
float

lowerIntensityThreshold

Below this skidmark alpha the skidmark mesh is not generated.

Declaration

[Tooltip("When the skidmark alpha value is below this value, skidmark mesh will not be generated.")]
public float lowerIntensityThreshold

Field Value

Type	Description
float

maxSkidmarkAlpha

Max skidmark texture alpha.

Declaration

[Range(0, 1)]
[Tooltip("Max skidmark texture alpha.")]
public float maxSkidmarkAlpha

Field Value

Type	Description
float

maxTotalTris

Total skidmark mesh triangles per wheel before the oldest section is destroyed.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Total number of skidmark mesh triangles per wheel before the oldest skidmark section gets destroyed.")]
public int maxTotalTris

Field Value

Type	Description
int

maxTrisPerSection

Triangles drawn per section before the mesh is saved and a new one is generated.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Number of triangles that will be drawn per one section, before mesh is saved and new one is generated.")]
public int maxTrisPerSection

Field Value

Type	Description
int

minDistance

Distance from the last skidmark section needed to generate a new one.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Distance from the last skidmark section needed to generate a new one.")]
public float minDistance

Field Value

Type	Description
float

simplifiedShading

Cheap shading path for URP Low / mobile - no specular, procedural relief or breakup.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Cheap shading path for low-end/mobile. Disables specular, procedural relief and breakup.")]
public bool simplifiedShading

Field Value

Type	Description
bool

skidmarkContainer

Game object that contains all the skidmark objects.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Game object that contains all the skidmark objects.")]
public GameObject skidmarkContainer

Field Value

Type	Description
GameObject

skidmarkDestroyDistance

Skidmarks are deleted when their distance from the parent vehicle exceeds this.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Skidmarks get deleted when the distance from the parent vehicle is higher than this.")]
public float skidmarkDestroyDistance

Field Value

Type	Description
float

skidmarkDestroyTime

Time after which the skidmark is destroyed. Set to 0 to disable.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Time after which the skidmark will get destroyed. Set to 0 to disable.")]
public float skidmarkDestroyTime

Field Value

Type	Description
float

textureLengthMeters

Length in meters over which the skidmark texture tiles along the mark.

Declaration

[Tooltip("Length in meters over which the skidmark texture tiles along the mark.")]
public float textureLengthMeters

Field Value

Type	Description
float

Methods

SkidmarkUpdateCoroutine()

Per-tick loop that computes slip-based intensity per wheel and drives each generator.

Declaration

public IEnumerator SkidmarkUpdateCoroutine()

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerator

VC_Disable(bool)

Disables the component and stops updates. Override to add component-specific disable logic.

Declaration

public override bool VC_Disable(bool calledByParent)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
bool	calledByParent	True if called by parent component or LOD system

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if successfully disabled, false otherwise

Overrides

VehicleComponent.VC_Disable(bool)

Remarks

Component must be initialized before it can be disabled. Tracks whether disable was called by parent to manage LOD system interaction.

VC_Enable(bool)

Enables the component and starts updates. Override to add component-specific enable logic.

Declaration

public override bool VC_Enable(bool calledByParent)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
bool	calledByParent	True if called by parent component or LOD system

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if successfully enabled, false otherwise

Overrides

VehicleComponent.VC_Enable(bool)

Remarks

Will initialize the component if not already initialized. Components disabled by LOD system will track the parent caller to prevent manual enabling while LOD is controlling state.
