Effects

Section titled “Effects”

Setting the vehicle type to balloon enables the vehicle system and additionally has the same effect of executing the following:

// uniform linear friction
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, 5 );
// uniform angular friction
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, 10 );
// linear motor
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, 0> );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 5 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 60 );
// agular motor
llSetVehicleVectorParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <0, 0, 0> );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 6 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 10 );
// hover
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, 5 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.8 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 10 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BUOYANCY, 1 );
// no linear deflection
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 5 );
// no angular deflection
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 5 );
// no vertical attractor
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_EFFICIENCY, 1 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_TIMESCALE, 1000 );
// no banking
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_EFFICIENCY, 0 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_MIX, 0.7 );
llSetVehicleFloatParam( VEHICLE_BANKING_TIMESCALE, 5 );
// default rotation of local frame
llSetVehicleRotationParam( VEHICLE_REFERENCE_FRAME, <0, 0, 0, 1> );
// remove all flags
llRemoveVehicleFlags( VEHICLE_FLAG_NO_DEFLECTION_UP
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_WATER_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_ROLL_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_TERRAIN_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_GLOBAL_HEIGHT
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_UP_ONLY
    | VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_MOTOR_UP );

FlagsDescription
VEHICLE_TYPE_NONE0Turns off vehicle support
VEHICLE_TYPE_SLED1Simple vehicle that bumps along the ground, and likes to move along its local x-axis
VEHICLE_TYPE_CAR2Vehicle that bounces along the ground but needs the motors to be driven from external controls or timer events
VEHICLE_TYPE_BOAT3Hovers over water with lots of friction and some angular deflection
VEHICLE_TYPE_AIRPLANE4Uses linear deflection for lift, no hover, and banking to turn
VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON5Hover, and friction, but no deflection
