Race Config (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Race Config
• Category: provider
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/timetrials/onRaceConfig.lua

Provides the user's race configuration choices (laps, reverse, rolling start).

Pin Schema

Output Pins

Behavior

• init() - Initializes done flag. Disables clearOutPinsOnStart.
• _executionStarted() - Resets done flag.
• work() - On first execution, reads the scenario config via scenario_scenarios.getScenario() and extracts rollingStart, isReverse, and lapCount. Only runs once.
• onScenarioRestarted() - Resets so config can be re-read.

How It Works

1. Place this node in a race flowgraph.
2. It reads the scenario configuration once and outputs the values.
3. Use the outputs to configure race logic (e.g., lap counting, direction).

-- Reads from:
local scenario = scenario_scenarios.getScenario()
-- scenario.rollingStart  → bool
-- scenario.isReverse     → bool
-- scenario.lapCount      → number

Key Dependencies

• scenario_scenarios.getScenario() - Returns the current scenario configuration
