• Charged: the value determining whether the engine is already charged when a vessel with the engine is launched. Uses true and false values.
• ChargeRate: Decimal value, determines how fast the engine charges up.
• ChargeAmount: Decimal value, determines the amount that the engine is charged when a vessel with the engine is launched.
• ChargeGoal: The total amount of charge needed for the engine to start, expressed as Electric Charge (1 ElectricCharge = 1 KiloWatt)
• ChargingLightRootTransform: Determines the root transform animation that the engine uses when charging and is charged up.
• ShutdownEngineOnLowThrottle: Determines whether when dropping below the value set by MinimumThrottleFraction, the engine shuts off, and needs to be recharged. Uses true and false values.
• MinimumThrottleFraction: Determines the engine throttle (expressed as a decimal fraction (eg. 0.9 = 90%, 0.1 = 10%)) at which the engine shuts off. If ShutdownEngineOnLowThrottle is set to false, MinimumThrottleFraction should be set to 0.
