Gear Switcher (for Bikes) - user-grinch/ModelExtras GitHub Wiki

The gear lever animation system responds to vehicle gear changes by rotating the lever along the X-axis. You can implement this through two methods: using a specially named dummy or JSONC configuration.

1. 📌 Create a dummy in your model with this naming pattern:

   x_gearlever_<angle>
   

   Where <angle> is the rotation value in degrees for the X-axis.

2. ✨ Example: For a gear lever that rotates 30 degrees, name the dummy x_gearlever_30.

1. 📁 Create or update a JSONC file in the ModelExtras/data folder
2. 🏷️ Name the file after your model's numeric ID (e.g., 522.jsonc) or model name (e.g., nrg500.jsonc).
3. ✏️ Add this structure to your JSONC file:

{
  "gearlever": {
    "offset": 30.0
  }
}

The gear lever will rotate based on the specified angle when changing gears:

For a vehicle with model ID 522 (NRG-500):

1. 📋 Either:

   • Add a dummy named x_gearlever_30 to your model
   • OR create/update ModelExtras/data/522.jsonc containing:

     {
       "gearlever": {
         "offset": 30.0
       }
     }

2. 🎮 When your vehicle changes gears, the gear lever will automatically rotate by the specified angle!
