steering_wheel

A pilot steering wheel. Reports whether it is held, the current and target angles, and the configured maximum deflection.

isHeld()Check whether a player is currently holding the wheel.
getAngle()Get the current visible wheel angle.
getAngleRad()Get the current visible wheel angle, in radians.
getTargetAngle()Get the angle the pilot is commanding.
getTargetAngleRad()Get the angle the pilot is commanding, in radians.
getMaxAngle()Get the wheel's maximum deflection.
getNormalizedAngle()Get the current angle as a normalized fraction of max deflection.
getSelfId()Get this block's id.
getSourceId()Get the id of the block immediately driving this one, or nil if this block has no source.
getSubnetworkAnchorId()Get the id of this block's speed-zone anchor — the gearshift / clutch / speed controller / generator that defines the start of this speed zone.
getNetworkId()Get the id of this block's kinetic network.
getKind()Get this block's role on the kinetic graph: one of "generator", "split_shaft", "consumer", or "passthrough".
getSpeed()Get the local rotational speed at this block.
hasSource()Check whether this block is connected to a kinetic source.
isOverstressed()Check whether the block's network is overstressed.
getStressImpact()Get the stress impact of this block on its network — how much stress it draws while running.
getStressContribution()Get this block's contribution to its network's stress capacity.
isHeld()Source

Check whether a player is currently holding the wheel.

Returns

  1. boolean True if held.
getAngle()Source

Get the current visible wheel angle.

Returns

  1. number Current visible wheel angle, degrees. Bounded by ±getMaxAngle().
getAngleRad()Source

Get the current visible wheel angle, in radians.

Returns

  1. number The current angle in radians.
getTargetAngle()Source

Get the angle the pilot is commanding. Angle the pilot is currently commanding (what they're steering toward).

Returns

  1. number The target angle in degrees.
getTargetAngleRad()Source

Get the angle the pilot is commanding, in radians.

Returns

  1. number The target angle in radians.
getMaxAngle()Source

Get the wheel's maximum deflection.

Returns

  1. number Maximum deflection in each direction, degrees. Set by the block's scroll value (1..360).
getNormalizedAngle()Source

Get the current angle as a normalized fraction of max deflection. Normalized to [-1, +1]. Convenient for mixing pilot input into autopilot commands.

Returns

  1. number The normalized angle in [-1, +1].
getSelfId()Source

Get this block's id. Other peripherals' getSourceId or getSubnetworkAnchorId return this same id when they refer to this block.

Returns

  1. string The block's id.
getSourceId()Source

Get the id of the block immediately driving this one, or nil if this block has no source.

Returns

  1. string The parent's id, or nil.
getSubnetworkAnchorId()Source

Get the id of this block's speed-zone anchor — the gearshift / clutch / speed controller / generator that defines the start of this speed zone. Two blocks share an anchor iff they're in the same speed zone. A generator or split-shaft returns its own getSelfId.

Returns

  1. string The anchor block's id, or nil.
getNetworkId()Source

Get the id of this block's kinetic network. Same value for every block on the same network regardless of how many speed zones lie between them. Nil if this block isn't on a network.

Returns

  1. string The network id, or nil.
getKind()Source

Get this block's role on the kinetic graph: one of "generator", "split_shaft", "consumer", or "passthrough".

Returns

  1. string The role string.
getSpeed()Source

Get the local rotational speed at this block. Signed; same value across a speed zone, changes across a split-shaft.

Returns

  1. number The local speed.
hasSource()Source

Check whether this block is connected to a kinetic source.

Returns

  1. boolean True if a source is connected.
isOverstressed()Source

Check whether the block's network is overstressed.

Returns

  1. boolean True if overstressed.
getStressImpact()Source

Get the stress impact of this block on its network — how much stress it draws while running. Speed-dependent; zero for sources and pure conduit blocks. Matches the "Stress Impact" value shown by goggles.

Returns

  1. number The stress impact.
getStressContribution()Source

Get this block's contribution to its network's stress capacity. Non-zero for sources only. Parallel to getStressImpact (per-block draw) and distinct from Create_Stressometer#getStressCapacity, which reports the network total.

Returns

  1. number The per-block stress contribution.
