Transmission Tool

This tool allows you to create a transmission between two props with different gearing and torque ratios, acting like a ballsocket that can transfer power around corners.

Simply click on the first prop, then the second prop to create the transmission.

This tool does not create a fixed constraint, so the props are free to move around however they like. Increasing the transmission ratio decreases speed and increases torque, useful for creating gearboxes.

Use R to remove the transmission.

This tool has E2 Support. Syntax:

===============================

To create/update a transmission:

Entity:transmission(<Entity2>, <"Entity 1 Orientation">, <"Entity 2 Orientation">, <gear ratio>, <reversed?(0/1)>)

Example: Entity:transmission(Entity2, "up", "right", 3, 0) creates a transmission that has a ratio of 3:1 between Entity and Entity2, with a rotational orientation of up and right that is not reversed.


Orientation is the ("Up") axis of the specific prop, either "up", "right" or "forward".

===============================

To remove a transmission simply use:

Entity:removeTransmission()
