Released Simple cruise Control

Instruction:

1. Open game_folder\lua\vehicle\input.lua
2. After:
   
   Code:

   local padOutRate = 2.5

   add (with a new line):
   
   Code:

   cruiseControl = 0

3. After:
   
   Code:

   -- map the values

   add (with a new line):
   
   Code:

       -- simple cruise control
       local maxBrake    = 1
       local maxThrottle = 1
       local carSpeed = math.floor( obj:getVelocity():length() * 2.23694 ) -- getting car speed, in mph
       if ( carSpeed > cruiseControl and cruiseControl ~= 0 ) then -- if carSpeed > cruiseControl = disable acceleration
           --M.throttle = 0
           input.event("axisy0", 0, 2)
           if carSpeed - cruiseControl >= 5 then
               local newBrake = ( carSpeed - cruiseControl ) / 5
               if ( newBrake > maxBrake ) then
                   --M.brake = maxBrake
                   input.event("axisy1", maxBrake, 2)
               else
                   --M.brake = newBrake
                   input.event("axisy1", newBrake, 2)
               end
           end
       elseif ( carSpeed < cruiseControl and cruiseControl ~= 0 ) then -- if carSpeed < cruiseControl = enable acceleration
           local newThrottle = ( cruiseControl - carSpeed ) / 5
           if ( newThrottle > maxThrottle ) then
               --M.throttle = maxThrottle
               input.event("axisy0", maxThrottle, 2)
           else
               --M.throttle = newThrottle
               input.event("axisy0", newThrottle, 2)
           end
           --M.brake = 0
           input.event("axisy1", 0, 2)
       end
       -- simple cruise control

4. After the "end" of the "update" function (line 128) add (with a new line):
   
   Code:

   -- simple cruise control
   local function setCruiseControl()
       local carSpeed = math.floor( obj:getVelocity():length() * 2.23694 ) -- getting car speed, in mph
       if ( cruiseControl == 0 ) then
           cruiseControl = carSpeed
       else
           cruiseControl = 0
       end
       print( "Cruise control set = " .. cruiseControl .. " mph"  )
   end
   -- simple cruise control

5. After:
   
   Code:

   M.toggleEvent = toggleEvent

   add (with a new line):
   
   Code:

   M.setCruiseControl = setCruiseControl

6. Open your inputmap file and put this somewhere, then change "key_name" to the desired key:
   
   Code:

   %mm.bindVLuaCmd(keyboard, "key_name", "input.setCruiseControl()", "");

So, when you press "key_name" - enable cruise control, after second press - disable.

Attached changed input.lua .

 

Works quite well, except that you have to press the button to "start" the engine.

 

Watchyu sayin'?

- - - Updated - - -



which 'end' and wheres this '(update) thing?

(stuck on step 2 )

Help me Incognito, you're my only hope

 

will try it out tomorrow, seems amazing

 

In your screen end - its line 265. Btw, you can download changed files from first post.

Hm... My car is always appear with the running engine.

 

When I tested it, the vehicles engine was not started when the vehicle was loaded until the button was pressed. You can fix this by calling the setCruiseControl function right after it ends.

EDIT: I think I found what it was. I followed your instructions and didn't use your pre done file. You omitted a line from the instructions which is in the pre done file, assigning a value of 0 to M.cruiseControl.

 

Oh, lol, sorry. Fixed the first post.

 

Inognito... why aren't you hired to code for this game yet? xD You've done things the devs haven't even done yet xD

 

Update:
Added braking when the vehicle speed is more than 5 miles than specified.

 

Good work, i wanted this to be honest, thank you.

 

Updated

 

What key to press to enable the cruise control?
I downloaded the file in the first post

 

Read the step 6.

 

i want the toggle key to be the space bar, should i type 'spacebar' or 'space_bar' or 'space'

- - - Updated - - -

nevermind on above post, 'space' worked out fine;

One thing you should try to incorporate is when the brake is applied, that should disengage cruise control

 

Can you make a version of the file that you just drag and drop in and it work, and just tell us what line to use to change the CC key

 

This work with the newest version?

 

Dont know. Need to check

 

Just checked - works fine

 

I have no clue how to get this to work -_-

 

Were should I add
%mm.bindVLuaCmd(keyboard, "key_name", "input.setCruiseControl()", ""); , and Should I add the quotes Ex. "U" ? Every time i add that line the game does not work.
