Suspensions' damages in damage.ini

[Piertaylor]

Hi all,
can you explain me how to set suspensions' damages in the damage.ini file?

Cheers

The easiest way to find it out is to look into the files of the skip barber, that you can find in the moddev vehicles folder of your rfactor 2 installation.
The important entries are this ones
In the damage.ini file:
FLSuspIns=Debris5 // Instance (used for suspension movement on front-left wheel)
FLSuspConn=(0.16,0.95) // Connection points for suspension movement (relative to inboard and outboard verts)
FRSuspIns=Debris7 // Instance (used for suspension movement on front-right wheel)
FRSuspConn=(0.16,0.95) // Connection points for suspension movement (relative to inboard and outboard verts)
RLSuspIns=Debris6 // Instance (used for suspension movement on rear-left wheel)
RLSuspConn=(0.08,0.94) // Connection points for suspension movement (relative to inboard and outboard verts)
RRSuspIns=Debris8 // Instance (used for suspension movement on rear-right wheel)
RRSuspConn=(0.08,0.94) // Connection points for suspension movement (relative to inboard and outboard verts)
and
Part5Postreq=Wheel0 // Define parts which break off together with the current part
Part5Detach=4300 // Impulse to make part become debris (see .gen file)
Part5Random=0.4 // Fraction of time part breaks off
Part5Pos=(0,0,0) // If zero, automatically finds position of part from graphics to check for damage
Part5MassInertia=(10, 1, 1, 1) // Mass and inertia
Part5CollParams=(3600, 65, 0.6) // Spring/damper/friction
Part6Postreq=Wheel2 // Define parts which break off together with the current part
Part6Detach=4600 // Impulse to make part become debris (see .gen file)
Part6Random=0.4 // Fraction of time part breaks off
Part6Pos=(0,0,0) // If zero, automatically finds position of part from graphics to check for damage
Part6MassInertia=(10, 1, 1, 1) // Mass and inertia
Part6CollParams=(3600, 65, 0.6) // Spring/damper/friction
Part7Postreq=Wheel1 // Define parts which break off together with the current part
Part7Detach=4300 // Impulse to make part become debris (see .gen file)
Part7Random=0.4 // Fraction of time part breaks off
Part7Pos=(0,0,0) // If zero, automatically finds position of part from graphics to check for damage
Part7MassInertia=(10, 1, 1, 1) // Mass and inertia
Part7CollParams=(3600, 65, 0.6) // Spring/damper/friction
Part8Postreq=Wheel3 // Define parts which break off together with the current part
Part8Detach=4600 // Impulse to make part become debris (see .gen file)
Part8Random=0.4 // Fraction of time part breaks off
Part8Pos=(0,0,0) // If zero, automatically finds position of part from graphics to check for damage
Part8MassInertia=(10, 1, 1, 1) // Mass and inertia
Part8CollParams=(3600, 65, 0.6) // Spring/damper/friction


and in the gen file:
Instance=DEBRIS5
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=rter_lf_susp.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(0) LODOut=(40) Reflect=True
MeshFile=rter_lf_susp_low.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(40) LODOut=(100) Reflect=True
}

Instance=DEBRIS6
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=rter_lr_susp.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(0) LODOut=(40) Reflect=True
MeshFile=rter_lr_susp_low.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(40) LODOut=(100) Reflect=True
}

Instance=DEBRIS7
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=rter_rf_susp.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(0) LODOut=(40) Reflect=True
MeshFile=rter_rf_susp_low.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(40) LODOut=(100) Reflect=True
}

Instance=DEBRIS8
{
Moveable=True
MeshFile=rter_rr_susp.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(0) LODOut=(40) Reflect=True
MeshFile=rter_rr_susp_low.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False ShadowCaster=(True, Solid) LODIn=(40) LODOut=(100) Reflect=True
}

And take care that every debris instance (0-11) is only 1 time in the gen file.
I guess you can take every debris instance that you like, if you define it properly in the damage.ini file.

this code is for any special car or for all cars?

It is from the skip barber, that is in the moddev folder, you have to adapt it to your car, that for example the gmt names are correct and you can modify the values and other things.
I have posted it just to show the scheme, of which entries are in which files, that has to be used.
