Get Vehicle Data

Overview

• Node Name: Get Vehicle Data
• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/vehicle/vehicleData.lua
• Obsolete: Replaced by the newer vehicleMapData, vehicleOOBB, and vehicleWheels nodes.

Provides comprehensive vehicle telemetry: position, direction, velocity, damage, bounding box corners, and wheel center.

Key Methods

How It Works

1. Resolves the vehicle and looks up its data in map.objects.
2. Outputs position, direction, velocity, and damage from the map object.
3. Computes the wheel center by averaging all wheel axis node positions.
4. Reads the spawn world OOBB for corner positions.
5. Computes a rotation quaternion from direction vectors.

⚠️ Obsolete: Use the split replacement nodes: vehicleMapData (telemetry), vehicleOOBB (bounds), and vehicleWheels (wheel center).

Usage Example

-- Flowgraph:
-- [Vehicle ID] → vehId → [Get Vehicle Data]
--                              ↓ velocity → [Speed Display]
--                              ↓ position → [Distance Check]

-- The map object data equivalent:
local data = map.objects[vehId]
local speed = data.vel:length()
local pos = data.pos

Key Dependencies

• map.objects - vehicle telemetry from the map system
• veh:getSpawnWorldOOBB() - oriented bounding box
• veh:getWheelCount() / veh:getWheelAxisNodes() - wheel data
