Console Command for damaging the Piston Rings/Head Gasket

I wanted to know what the console commands are for damaging the piston rings and head gasket for the vehicles....if you could help that would be great....thanks!!!

 

If there is, I would also be interested in learning this command

 

The console commands are just Lua code that's executed, so in vehicle Lua mode, you can run any Lua code on the vehicle. The main vehicle Lua loads a number of modules, among which the engine module. You can find the code for this module in engine.lua (Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\lua\vehicle\engine.lua): any variable or function that's set on the M variable in there is accessible from the vehicle, so to set the head gasket to damaged you'd run: engine.headGasketBlown = true

The same is true for any other variable in there (you could also set the oil temperature with engine.oilTemperature) and any other module used by the main vehicle Lua (you could turn on the high beams by calling electrics.setLightsState(2)).

 

I just tried putting in "engine.headGasketBlown = true" and it gives me a fatal lua error

 

Still doesn't work

 

A bit more information, please. The logs from when you entered the command would be useful.

 

Code:

***FATAL LUA ERROR: [string "string:]:1: attempt to index global 'engine' (a nil value)

 

Does the bit in front of that error say this:

Code:

|E|libbeamng.lua.V|

 

"drivetrain.engine.headGasketBlown = true" should work (just tested it myself).
