1. Engine startup delay

The engine has to be started before the vehicle can move. Delay can be configured per class via config or per vehicle via script. By default starting the engine takes aprox. 1 to 2 seconds.

1.1 Setting the startup delay by config

class CfgVehicles {
    class MyFuelTruck {
        ace_vehicles_engineStartDelay = 3; // Startup delay in seconds
    };
    class MyCar {
        ace_vehicles_engineStartDelay = 2.2;
    };
    class MyElectricCar {
        ace_vehicles_engineStartDelay = 0.1;
    };
};

1.2 Setting the startup delay by script

ace_vehicles_fnc_setVehicleStartDelay Has global effects.

	Arguments	Type	Optional (default value)
0	Vehicle	Object	Required
1	Delay (in seconds)	Number	Required
R	None	None	Return value

	Arguments	Explanation
