Vehicle Physics Stop

[Space Guy]

If you leave a vehicle "At rest" (stopped or 'stuck' so it isn't moving for a while), the physics stop for it until it is pushed, moved or impulsed again, to reduce lag from simulating physics for everything. (See the picture, taken after moving a jeep out from underneath another)



Is there any way I can apply this effect through scripting to vehicles and objects? I think it would be nice for a "Physics Gun"-style freeze effect.

Isn't stopping vehicle physics controlled by the game engine?

[Space Guy]

Probably, I was just hoping for a way to enable this through scripting as well.

Not sure, maybe you could set the velocity to 0.

Chances are this is an engine-side optimization only and can't be forced via script.

[Space Guy]

Okay, never mind then.
