Thanks for showcasing this and helping some us that are newer to Stormworks, and microcontrollers. This design seems very solid, so I decided to build a medium "W16" we'll call it. Just need to put in your controller and hook everything up. Will let you know how it goes! For Copy/Paste sake, happy hunting! First formula: clamp((x*clamp(z-y,0,1))+sqrt(clamp(w-y,0,1)),0,1) Second Formula: (x/z)*(13.75/y) Lua Script: cvt=0 cl=0 function onTick() rps=getInput(1) cruise=property.getNumber("Cruise RPS") if cv1 then cvt=1 else cvt=cvt+(rps-cruise) end if rps>3 then cl=1 else cl=0 end Output.setNumber(3,cvt) Output.setNumber(1,((mat.cos(cvt*math.pi/2))^0.5)*cl) Output.setNumber(2,((mat.sin(cvt*math.pi/2))^0.5)*cl) end

I been going through so many tutorials, and everytime something don't work quite right. This is the first setup that works out just the way I wanted, Thanks for this tutorial.

THX. It's good that you explain it

I have a design that sorta does the same thing (not exactly but close). Basically all you need is a simple single input Function block: Hook up your RPS from the crank to the input. Then you put the output to your Clutch, and set the Function to be something like x/35. You can change this number to whatever you find to work the best. Higher number means higher RPS. This will make the clutch constantly vary by the engine RPS. You wont need any special engines for this one, just a regular engine works.

Obviously this design does not do quite the same thing but the compactness of it is what makes it very handy for small vehicles like motorcycles or snowmobiles.

i need to build this now

For some reason it ignores any idle and max rps commands and only stays at 18 rps

👍🤟

🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Can you tell us/make a video on how to make a more compact version of it that uses only one crankshaft? You said in the video it was possible, but any attempt I did to make it use clutches on both sides of the crankshaft were met with total failure...

I feel like that LUA block could easily be converted to a few function blocks and an up-down counter

Yeah, you could either do the whole thing in blocks or all in LUA. This is a bit of a Frankenstein solution.

The Lua is for the limiting of the up/down of the CVT, i definitely could make it all lua but it would be too complicated for a tutorial

Oh I know there's a non lua solution, it just seemed easier and MUCH faster to do it in lua... and how do you get banned from the WORKSHOP?

Amazing Tutorial, Just wondering, what values should i change if my engine will stay at 18 rps but then suddenly ramp up to 25 or 30 and then drop back down to 18 for a while ?

That's normal, the engine does that to adjust or if u release the clutch it will do that

Add another gearbox on the end for reverse
