Manual Transmission resource

Abstract

The past few days I’ve been digging into making a manual transmission resource for FiveM (which is streamable from the server). Into doing so I’ve done a lot of research (as in how GTA 5 handling work as well how real life cars work) to come up with a very basic implementation for a basic manual transmission, hoping the community would pick up the work and make better variants.

If you have any improvements to my code or discrepencies into my research or presumptions on how a realistic car works (I’m not really a car guy), please let me know so we can work on a better version.

Hopefully you guys find some usage out of my researches and tests. Nothing is set in stone, I’m just trying to make a manual transmission that balances reality and feels good to play with.

Background on simulating

What we essentially are trying to simulate are 3 components, the engine, clutch and gearbox, for the sake of this piece of documentation we are keeping these subjects short and sweet.

In a diagram it will look like this:

Engine

car nerd stuff

The engine is the powerhouse of the car, the engine has serveral pistons connecting to the crankshaft, causing a rotational force, this rotational force will be transfered to the input shaft of the gearbox (see diagram) if the clutch is engaged.

The crankshaft will rotate a certain RPM (rotations per minute).
This is clearly what we are looking to simulate, how fast the RPM ramps up depends on the strenght of the engine. The model GTA 5 uses makes this pretty simple, RPM represents the engines output.

Clutch

car nerd stuff

The can be in 2 distinctive states: engaged or disengaged. It being engaged means the crankshaft will make the input shaft rotate, transfering the rotational force.
It can also be disengaged, where the crankshaft and input shaft are disconnecting through the clutch mechanism.

It’s true that clutch can be anywhere between those states. 50% engaged means 50% of the rotational force of the crankshaft will be transfered.
When the clutch padle is released, the two clutch plates will make contact, bringing the input shaft back up to speed. There are a couple of things we would or can simulate:

Pressing the clutch pedal, cause the rpm of the input shaft to drop.
Re-engaging the clutch should transfer engine RPM based on the procentage the clutch pedal is engaged.
Stalling, when the engine doesn’t have enough torque to keep the engine going. (putting it in a gear that it can’t handle)
Smoking up the clutch plates, when you drive with a 50% engaged clutch, it will cause a lot of friction between the clutch plates, thus producing a lot of heat, if not melt.
Downshifting, should cause a drop in speed, because prop shaft to slow down due to lower gear ratio(s)

Gearbox

car nerd stuff

The gearbox is quite literally a box with gear. The input is a shaft (the input shaft) which carries the torque of engine. The input shaft will make the counter shaft (the one in red). The counter shaft has several gears attached to them. Each of these gear has a different size. As you might know, a smaller gear takes less effort to turn around than a big gear. If the gearbox wouldn’t exist, then the car won’t be able to start due to the lack of torque to keep turning.

That’s why the gearbox has different gear sizes, often reffered as gear ratio. Each car has their own set of gear ratios. Changing the gear ratio can cause the gear to be capable of reaching higher speed (thus a longer gear) and the opposite is true as well.

Now the magic is that you are able to select the correct gear with the shifter. The shifter is connected to a so called shifter fork. The shifter fork pushes syncronizer (the pink ring) into the teeth of gear you selected, making the propshaft rotate at the speed of that specific gear.

Simulation wise, we would only want to simulate the gear ratios.

Implementation

Now actually implementing this is a whole other beast. Since the simulation of GTA 5 is far from reality. I’ve roughly based it around the values you would get from a handling meta.

There are several areas we need to simulate:

“The trick”
Simulate the RPM and gearbox.
Speed limiting (…)
Clutch

The trick

programmer stuff

Normally, GTA 5 has it’s own tranmission system… which is fully automatic. Because of this, a manual transmission fully simulated by the GTA 5 code itself is impossible, due it shifting to the next gear automatically.

Luckly there a native function out there that can trick the transmission system. This one specific native is called SetVehicleHighGear. Setting the high gear of the vehicle will make the vehicle itself stop shifting and treat it as one big gear.

This way we can simply simulate our own values and set some pseudo gear, clutch and rpm accordingly.

Simulate the RPM and gearbox.

programmer stuff

For the engine we simply need to calculate the RPM that is outputted to the crankshaft. Also taking in account the gear ratios. In my approach I’ve opted to use the vehicles speed as basis for the RPM. In GTA 5, the RPM’s are normalized between 0.0 and 1.0

To get such values, we need to know 2 things:

The top-speed of the vehicle, the handling meta does provide use with a theoretical top speed called fInitialDriveMaxFlatVel
The number of gears.

Then we can subdivide all the gears into speed ranges, we need to know the minimum speed for a gear and maximum. For example a car goes 180 km/h max and has 4 gears:

1th gear - 0 km/h → 45 km/h
2nd gear - 45 km/h → 90 km/h
3th gear - 90 km/h → 135 km/h
etc.

Now these values do not include the gear overlapping of the gears (I my code I use 10%
for stalling and over revving), also we need to take gear ratios into consideration. I’m currently using a hardcode table for each gear.

local gConstGearRatios = { 
    3.166,
    1.882,
    1.296,
    0.972,
    0.738
}

These get divided by 10 as follows:

local ratio = gearRatios[currentGear] / 10
local maxSpeed = speedPerGear * (1.0 + ratio)

Note that min speed should also take the ratio of the previous gear into consideration.

To get the RPM it’s fairly simple to do so using a function:

function ValueToProcentageInRange(min, max, input)
    return (input - min) / (max - min)
end

Saying you are in 3th gear:

local currentSpeed = 100
ValueToProcentageInRange(90, 135, 100)

Will output 0.2222 and can be directly used to map the RPM using the SetVehicleCurrentRpm native.
In my example I get my value from some exponential curve, in an attempt to make the RPM more realistic.

Limiting speed

programmer stuff

Now one other issue we are facing is that, because the game considers it as one big gear, it will accelerate indefinitly. Not ideal to have first gear and being capable of drivign 150 km/h+.

So we need to limit this somehow. Since we already know the top speed of every gear, we can simply call the native SetEntityMaxSpeed, like so:

    --Converting km/h to meters per second.
    local gearMaxSpeedInMs = gGearSpeedMax * 0.277778
    SetEntityMaxSpeed(vehicle, gearMaxSpeedInMs)

Now this does have it’s drawbacks. Because the native SetEntityMaxSpeed doesn’t take anything into consideration and “just” locks the speed to the given value. So this would mean downshifting would cause to instantly pop it to the gears make speed you downshifted to.

Now this can be easily circumvented by using linear interpolant to slowly lower to target speed, simulating the slow down you would get when using a clutch.

Clutch

programmer stuff

As of right now I’m not simulating the clutch, but definitely a thing I want to do. Currently looking to make my code more solid. But will definitely keep this thread updated if such change we’re to be added.

The pain points

programmer stuff

From what I can see and have experienced these are the pain points of developement

Getting the RPM feel right, previous attempts it felt the RPM was on the high side, or even too low that the car would not longer accelerate.
Some functionality are a bitch, adding plenty of if’s and random variables to make neutral rev the engine and reverse actually reversing. it becomes very tedious way to develop, you put them somewhere inside your simulation calculations and hope it doesn’t mess up everything

Know what you are getting into when making a MT

A video:

https://streamable.com/obgl8

Using a xbox360 controller:

A to shift up,

B to shift down.

You can remap they keys in the code itself.

Complete code

There are still couple of limitations that I’m facing:

Accelerating from a standstill only works in first gear. (realistically you would be able to do this in 2nd gear as well).
Downshifting instantly reduces speed (probably needs some linear interpolation)
Clutch is not simulated
Engine can’t blowup or stall
Cars with weak engines
Some kind of weird steering twitch
No burn outs

Hopefully you guys will pick it up and make it a kickass resource
Feel free to hit me up, if you wanna talk manual transmission

Scott_UK · 2018-08-17T09:52:22.833Z

Hot stuff

Syntasu · 2018-08-17T09:57:25.475Z

Hopefully this will make streaming the manual transmission from the server possible, no longer relying on people having to install a clientside mod (no offense to @ikt, your mod is awesome).

But right now it’s a bit too rough around the edges and I’m starting to work on areas that fall outside of “manual transmission”, namely car engine simulation. So I thought I might as well drop the knowledgde i’ve gathered and see if someone comes up with a proper MT resource

ikt · 2018-08-20T11:55:49.014Z

Can’t see the video

I wouldn’t mind seeing a custom FiveM standalone/server-streamed version, it’d be nicer even than needing a client mod, I’d say. If you don’t already know - the source code for my mod is public and you may use it.

For gear ratios (and available gears), you could read the game memory, though I’m not sure how that native to force one gear changes that.

For the speed limiter you can just lift the throttle (disable throttle input).

MoravianLion · 2018-08-25T18:28:24.434Z

I would love to try this and test this, as I was about to try to create something like this at this point. But I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve done some custom resources before (even the ones directly controlling vehicles), but when I’ve put in this one, game just ignore it. GTA’s AT again.

I’ve stopped every resource like realistic vehicle damage etc. Didn’t help… Any ideas?

Code above is just client.lua + latest resource.lua, right?

Syntasu · 2018-08-25T18:31:57.585Z

I had this happen too, usually restarting the resource from the console makes it work again.

MoravianLion · 2018-08-25T19:55:55.159Z

I though that

vstNumberOfGears = GetVehicleHandlingFloat(vehicle, “CHandlingData”, “nInitialDriveGears”)

might be very simple solution for getting accurate number of gears for every car. Unfortunately, this shows up after (…)

and when I change to GetVehicleHandlingINT, this

Edit.: At least, in the last case, I am somehow able to shift up to “actual” highest gear of each car, even though that insanely high value above messed up the whole calculation for min and max speed for each gear, which means I can’t move, because the car is limited to 0.00023 km/h…

Syntasu · 2018-08-25T19:58:38.657Z

Yes, looks like a bug in FiveM. It actually spits errors in console when requesting nInitialDriveGears. I’m aware as I’ve tried this myself. It was the original intent to get the number of gears from the handling file.

I should file a bug report on this

MoravianLion · 2018-08-25T20:00:57.589Z

Please, do. This sucks big time!

Edit.: Also, is ok, if I will try to post some progress/testing here?

As I said, I do not intent making this a resource. For all I know it still works with minor bugs (i.e. not updating player ped properly).

If you are looking for an “official release”, you guys will be waiting for an eternity.

I love the original ManualTramsmission mod so much, all my friends who are addicted to using their wheel are too. We bought a GTA Five M server from Zap Hosting SPECIFICALLY to use this mod together and have had so much fun doing it with script hook enabled. Then we had an amazing idea to make a Driving Sim RP server with scripthook disabled and after 2 days of frustration ran into this roadblock :’(

There must be a solution somewhere! The rumble and force feed back is sooooo good with this mod

I like the resource a lot, and I would assist you with some stuffs:


function SimulateSpeed()
    --Note: don't lock speed in max gear.
    local gearMaxSpeedInMs = gGearSpeedMax * 0.277778
	if( gGearCurrent <= 0 )then
		if( rtVehicleSpeed >= 0.05 )then
			DisableControlAction(0,71,false)
		end
	else
		if( rtVehicleSpeed >= gGearSpeedMin and rtVehicleSpeed <= gGearSpeedMax )then
			SetEntityMaxSpeed(vehicle, gearMaxSpeedInMs)
		else
			-- TODO: Stall engine here.
			DisableControlAction(0,71,false)
		end
	end
end

Replace it with the current one and you will solve next:
Downshifting instantly reduces speed (probably needs some linear interpolation)

And of Engine can’t blowup or stall it sometimes stall and blow up, Hope that assist you.

@Syntasu thanks for that great piece of code.
Just want to let you know that i’ve used it for:

[prerelease] trew_hud_ui/LegacyFuel - Advanced fuel usage, efficiency displays, advanced cruise control Discussion

Update: -done with basic code cleaning and restructuring -implemented gearbox simulation from: [Discussion/Research] Manual transmission resource -implemented custom acceleration curves for smoother driving with keayboard (speed limiter without fully reving the car all the time, slower acceleration for a more realistic feel)[image] -fuel consumption in Liter/100km is now accurate -made all the fuel/car_stat calculations timesafe, so interval for sampling and processing can be set as config,…

Was a pleasure to work with your code… Well done!

I have made a manual trans resource for Fivem (server side)

Fivem Manual Transmission (Server side) resource with custom gears and different gearmods Releases

Hello guys here is my Server side Manual Transmission Resource for Fivem you can activate and desactivate manual transmission using (/manual) and change mode using (/manualmode) (you can not be inside of a vehicle to do this commands) lscustom transmission upgrade adds another gear to the vehicle you can create custum gear ratios for your vehicles (if you don’t create custom gear ratios in the Config.vehicles the vehicle will use the gear ratios in Config.gears) you have two different modes re…
