| argument 1: |
c_ETCar, c_ETPlane, c_ETRocket, c_ETShip, c_ETTank, c_ETTorpedo; most commonly c_ETPlane
|
Description: This property is used in Engine objects to specify where the engine will generate thrust.
It is one of the following:
c_ETLand - Thrust generated through child spring objects
c_ETTank - Thrust generated through child spring objects, uses 4 springs for "tank style" steering
c_ETPlane - Thrust generated directly from the engine, does not work underwater
c_ETSea - Thrust generated directly from the engine, only works underwater
c_ETRocket - Identical to c_ETPlane, except that it does not require input, the engine starts running at creation
c_ETTorpedo - Identical to c_ETSea, except that it does not require input, the engine starts running at creation
