Retrieves the speed at which the rotor of a helicopter or plane rotates.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

  • Method:vehicle:getVehicleRotorSpeed(...)
  • Variable: .vehicleRotorSpeed

Syntax 

float getVehicleRotorSpeed ( vehicle theVehicle )
Required Arguments
  • theVehicle: the vehicle element (helicopter or plane) to get the rotor speed of.

Returns

  • float: value

Returns the rotor speed if successful. This is 0 when the helicopter or plane is stationary, and about 0.2 when it is fully spun up. It can be negative if the rotor rotates counter-clockwise. Returns false in case of failure (an invalid element or a vehicle element that is not a helicopter or plane was passed).

Code Examples

          local vehicleType = getVehicleType(theVehicle)
    if vehicleType == "Helicopter" or vehicleType == "Plane" then
