Plane Controller Properties

Plane Controller properties are managed through the Properties panel. You can view and modify them..

This page discusses:

General

Active
Defines whether or not a behavior is active during a playing session.
Notes:
  • An inactive behavior or script is not executed during a playing session.
  • The behavior's activity depends on the actor's activity. If its associated actors are inactive, the behavior is also inactive.

Advanced

Acceleration
Increases the speed of the plane.
Angular Speed
Defines the rotation speed of the plane.
Smoothness
Defines the smoothing coefficient applied to the movements of the plane.
Note: The higher the coefficient, the smoother the movements of the plane.
Compute Direction Axis
Automatically computes the axis of the plane according to its shape.
Direction Axis
Defines the direction vector of the plane.
Note: This property is unavailable if the Compute Direction Axis property is selected.
Inertia Factor
Defines the coefficient of inertia.
Notes:
  • 0: no inertia
  • Above 0: a coefficient of inertia is applied.

Controls

Use Gamepad
Controls the plane using a gamepad.
Move Up
Defines the key that moves the plane up.
Move Down
Defines the key that moves the plane down.
Roll Left
Defines the key that makes the plane roll to the left.
Roll Right
Defines the key that makes the plane roll to the right.
Turn Left
Defines the key that makes the plane rotate to the left.
Turn Right
Defines the key that makes the plane rotate to the right.
Accelerate
Defines the key that increases the speed of the plane.
Decelerate
Defines the key that decreases the speed of the plane.

Gamepad Controls (Xbox Controller)

Right/Left Bumpers
Lets you do either of the following:
  • Makes the plane roll to the left
  • Makes the plane roll to the right
Right Trigger
Increases the speed of the plane.
Left Trigger
Decreases the speed of the plane.

Parameters

Maximum Speed
Defines the maximum speed of the plane.
