Second place in the 2023 Modding for Dummies Modding Contest!
My entry for the 2023 Modding for Dummies Modding Contest, made in one month. It adds an off-road winch to the front bumpers of 14 in game vehicles. The winch can be extended with a free spool function and pulled back at an adaptive speed.
The winch can be used to pull stuck vehicles or help when off-roading.
Winch usage instructions:
1. Press "T" or click the "Free Spool" trigger to activate free spool
2. Hold "CTRL" and grab the hook
3. Drag the hook behind a rock or object
4. Press the "Attach hook" trigger on the hook
OR
Middle click while dragging the hook to attach it to the ground (If you prefer to cheat)
5. Press "Y" (or "Shift Y") or the "Pull winch" trigger to pull your car
If the winch gives a message saying "Winch overloaded", it means that either the vehicle is too stuck for the winch or the rope might have gotten stuck on a rock/object. You can try using "Shift+T" to extend and unstuck the rope.
When you're done, toggle free spool again, drag out the hook and pull the hook back.
Some keybinds could be overridden so you might just need to use the triggers.
Vehicles available with the winch:
- Wydra
- Covet
- I-Series
- Grand Marshal
- Hopper
- Legran
- Stambecco
- D-Series
- Pigeon
- Roamer
- Rockbasher (In the Headlights slot)
- Scintilla
- Sunburst
- H-Series
All the controls can be found by searching for "winch" in the controls menu.
They can be equipped on these vehicles by searching for "winch" in vehicle config. Some vehicles may require bullbars/bash bars to be installed.
Also includes one config for the Covet:
How the mod works:
The rope is made of 30+ hydros that pull and extend through my lua, which automatically controls the speed of the winch pull, allows for a free spool function and stops the winch when there's too much stress. The attach function uses lua to increase the weight of the hook, increasing friction.

Yeah this was never supposed to be used for the uplifts, it might be glitching out because you have your node grabber strength too high. If you actually use it for off-roading it works fine.

Oh yeah I kinda forgot, you should've reminded me. Also the winch isn't really strong enough for the T Series, and it also doesn't have any good mounting spots.
