# VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION

*LSL constant*

```lsl
integer VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION = 18;
```

Constant groups: [VehicleVectorParam](/constants/groups/VehicleVectorParam/)

Vector of linear velocity (in meters/second) that the vehicle will try to achieve.

May conflict with any active [llTargetOmega](/functions/llTargetOmega/) set in the root prim and prevent vehicle turns. Call [llTargetOmega](/functions/llTargetOmega/) with a gain of 0 to disable it.

## Caveats

- [VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE](/constants/VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE/) magnitude is capped at 30.0
