Race Restarted (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Race Restarted
• Category: logic
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/timetrials/onRaceRestarted.lua

Fires an impulse when the race is restarted.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Output Pins

Behavior

• init() - Initializes restart flag to false.
• _executionStarted() - Resets restart flag.
• work() - Outputs the restart impulse (uses self.started - likely a minor bug, should be self.restart), then clears the flag.
• onScenarioRestarted() - Sets restart flag to true.

How It Works

1. Place this node in a race flowgraph.
2. When the player restarts the race, onScenarioRestarted fires.
3. The restart output goes high for one frame.

-- Common pattern:
-- [Race Restarted] → restart → [Reset Score] → [Reset UI]

Notes

• The work() function reads self.started instead of self.restart - this appears to be a bug in the vanilla code. The node may not function as intended.

Key Dependencies

• onScenarioRestarted - Flowgraph event from the scenario system
