Vehicles.lua - small mistake in code of fuel usage

[Tread]

Version 41.65
Rest is not relevant since report regards lua code.

 

Issue is regarding vehicle fuel consumption - gasMultiplier increased by heater usage should result in more Gas being used from gas tank. At the moment it does the opposite. Even variable name is opposite to what is done with it in line 368 - it is being used as denominator. Effectively reducing fuel consumption the higher it is (and as you see in line 342 heater usage increases it).

Bottom line is that turning heater ON lowers the fuel consumption of vehicle. My tests (while playing with values in code) also do confirm that.

 

server/Vehicles/Vehicles.lua
line 342:
        if heater and heater:getModData().active then
            gasMultiplier = gasMultiplier + 5000;
        end

line 368:

        local newAmount = (speedMultiplier / gasMultiplier)  * SandboxVars.CarGasConsumption;
        newAmount =  newAmount * (vehicle:getEngineSpeed()/2500.0);
        amount = amount - elapsedMinutes * newAmount;

 

 

I found the issue while working on my mod and studying game lua files.
I hope that this finding (even thought it is minor issue) will help!

P.S. Apologies for not using "code" formatting, but it bugged out for some reason and I could not use it in this post.
