Namespace NWH.VehiclePhysics2.Effects

Classes

Effect

Abstract base class for all vehicle visual effect components in NWH Vehicle Physics 2.

EffectManager

Manages vehicle visual effects: exhaust particles, lights, skidmarks, and surface dust/smoke. Effects trigger automatically based on vehicle state and wheel conditions. Each subsystem can be individually configured or disabled. Uses LOD and distance culling.

ExhaustFlash

Controls exhaust flash effects that create brief, bright flame bursts from exhaust pipes during engine operation, gear shifts, and rev limiter engagement.

ExhaustSmoke

Controls particle emitters that represent exhaust smoke based on engine state.

LightSource

Represents a single vehicle light source that can be implemented as either a Unity Light component or an emissive mesh material for headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and other vehicle illumination.

LightsManager

Manages all vehicle lights including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and auxiliary lighting.

ParticleMaskFade

Fades out particles while they are inside a ParticleMaskVolume. Added at runtime by SurfaceParticleSystem, not intended for manual use.

ParticleMaskVolume

Trigger volume in which surface particles get faded out. Place over the cabin so dust does not show through the glass - glass writes no depth and can not occlude particles behind it. Picked up by SurfaceParticleSystem on vehicle initialization; vehicles without a volume are unaffected.

SkidmarkDestroy

Manages the lifecycle of skidmark GameObjects, destroying them when they exceed distance or time thresholds.

SkidmarkGenerator

Generates procedural skidmark meshes dynamically as wheels slip on surfaces.

SkidmarkManager

Manages per-wheel skidmark generation, appearance, and lifetime for the vehicle.

SurfaceParticleManager

Manages surface particle effects for all vehicle wheels, including tire smoke and dust.

SurfaceParticleSystem

Controls particle emission for a single wheel, generating tire smoke and surface dust based on wheel behavior.

VehicleLight

Represents a single vehicle light that can contain multiple LightSource implementations.

Structs

SkidmarkRect

Represents a single sample point in a skidmark trail, storing position, orientation, and appearance data.

Enums

LightSource.LightType

Defines the implementation type for the light source.
