Struct VehicleInputStates

Container structure for all vehicle input values and button states, normalized to standard ranges.

Namespace: NWH.VehiclePhysics2.Input

Assembly: NWH.VehiclePhysics2.dll

Syntax

[Serializable]
public struct VehicleInputStates

Remarks

VehicleInputStates stores the current state of all vehicle inputs after processing by the VehicleInputHandler. All analog inputs (throttle, brakes, steering, clutch, handbrake) are normalized to 0-1 or -1 to 1 ranges, while digital inputs (lights, horn, shift commands) are represented as boolean flags.

This structure serves multiple purposes: - Provides a snapshot of all input values at any given frame - Enables input copying between vehicles (e.g., synchronizing trailer inputs with truck) - Supports AI controllers and replay systems by allowing direct input state manipulation - Maintains both raw and processed input values for debugging and analysis

Input swapping feature: When swapInputInReverse is enabled in VehicleInputHandler, the inputSwappedThrottle and inputSwappedBrakes fields contain throttle/brake values adjusted for reverse gear, making reverse driving more intuitive by swapping the throttle and brake axes.
