Ratchet 2.0

[Kilinich]

Another example of readable possibilities for scripting hinges/motors.
Code for ratchet (auto-brake is on):

Code: Select all

autoBrake = true;
motorTorque = {(readable(Scene.entityByGeomID((readable(owner)).geom0))).angvel > 0 ? 0 : +inf}

Simple scripted ratchet

p.s. Again - undo kills scripts in 2.0.1 hope it will be fixed.

To change the direction in which the axle is able to turn change the > to < it took me a while to notice this.

Love this script. I think it should be an axle option.

For correct work it needs second geom angvel check.

BTW, in 2.0.2 there is no need in "double" readable usage.

What do you mean by "second geom angvel check"? I'm new to Thyme scripting, can you please post the code. Thanks.

Correct calculation is difference between geom0 and geom1 angvel.
