Spring Type

The Spring object type is created by ObjectTemplate.Create.

Springs can be thought of as "wheels" for the Battlefield 1942 game engine. They are what actually produces the thrust for jeeps, tanks, and APCs, as well as allowing planes to land and take off. Any dynamic, mobile object that needs to interact with the landscape should have springs. Springs generate thrust by being children of an Engine object, to make them roll, while others are simple passive and roll on their own. This can be changed with the Grip property. Springs also must have a Geometry property with a proper collision model to work correctly.
