# Public Methods

| Method                                     | Description                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| SetVehicleSettings()                       | Updates the vehicle settings from the VehicleSettings ScriptableObject. Called in Awake() and from the update button located on the component in the inspector.                       |
| ControlAcceleration()                      | Makes the vehicle move forward, use this to call forward movement from your input class.                                                                                              |
| ControlBrake()                             | Makes the vehicle brake, or reverse, use this to call backwards movement from your input class.                                                                                       |
| ControlTurning(int)                        | <p>Controls the turning of the vehicle, and takes in an int to determine the direction.<br> -1 for left<br> 1 for right</p>                                                           |
| SetPosition(Vector3, Quaternion)           | Used to reposition and rotate the vehicle, best used for respawning. Pass in a Vector3 for the new position and a Quaternion for the rotation.                                        |
| MovementPenalty(float)                     | Used to change the MaxSpeed of the vehicle. Example use: slowing down on grass.                                                                                                       |
| SteeringPenalty(float)                     | Used to change the Steering speed of the vehicle. Example use: making it harder to turn on grass.                                                                                     |
| Jump(float, ForceMode = ForceMode.Impulse) | <p>Make the vehicle jump, pass in a force big enough to get it off the ground at the height you want. ForceMode is optional, uses Impulse by default.</p><p></p><p>Added in v1.16</p> |
| Boost()                                    | Used to set the vehicle boosting, changes isBoosting to true.                                                                                                                         |
| OneShotBoost(float)                        | Performs a boost over a set amount of time (in seconds).                                                                                                                              |
| StopBoost()                                | Changes isBoosting to false returning the vehicle to MaxSpeed.                                                                                                                        |
