Traction Lost

Traction Lost — Dynamic Fully Synced Tire Smoke FX Adds realistic, fully synchronized, condition-based tire smoke and skidmarks to all vanilla wheeled vehicles. Instead of a generic "always-on while moving" dust puff, this mod checks real per-wheel physics data every frame and only emits smoke when a wheel is genuinely losing traction and the driver is on the throttle/brake at the same time. Cruising or coasting never triggers it — only actual wheelspin under power does. **Features** - Per-wheel detection: each wheel is evaluated independently, so a single spinning wheel on a locked diff can smoke while the others stay clean. - Three-condition trigger: slip threshold AND throttle or brake threshold must both be met, avoiding false positives from bumps, rough terrain, or momentary slip. - Intensity scaling: smoke output scales with how much a wheel is slipping, not just on/off. - Smooth fade-out: a configurable stop delay prevents flickering when slip hovers right at the threshold. - Fully configurable per vehicle: which wheels get the effect, slip threshold, throttle threshold, fade-out delay, and the particle resource used. - Lightweight: particle systems are spawned once per wheel and reused (moved + intensity-adjusted), never destroyed and recreated every frame. - No dependency on custom animation graphs or blueprint hacks — pure EnforceScript component reading directly from the vehicle's wheeled simulation. **Requirements** Works on any wheeled vehicle prefab with a `CarControllerComponent` and a `VehicleWheeledSimulation` (any standard Reforger car, truck, or wheeled military vehicle). No changes to base game files besides adding the component to all wheeled vanilla vehicles . **How it works (short version)** A custom component, `SCR_TireSmokeComponent`, sits on the vehicle root entity. Every frame it reads longitudinal/lateral slip and throttle/brake per wheel. If both thresholds are exceeded, it spawns (or keeps alive) a particle effect at that wheel's co...
