SetGearChangeTime Property

Usage:
   ObjectTemplate.SetGearChangeTime number

Argument values:

argument 1:    0.05

Description: This property modifies how fast the automatic gearing changes. It is set for land vehicles in Physics.con. For example, 0.05 means it takes a twentieth of a second to change from one gear to another. Note that planes do not have this value set, meaning that the gear change happens instantly.

See SetGearUp for more explanation about gears.

Related properties: SetGearDown, SetGearUp, SetNumberOfGears, SetTorque, SetDifferential, SetEngineType, SetNoPropellerEffectAtSpeed

Used in object types (and how often in each type): Engine (18%)

Used in a total of 25 .con files: Physics.con

Parent directory of these .con files: objects/Vehicles

Example: (from objects/Vehicles/Land/Katyusha/Physics.con)
