SGR Drag Tree + Timer
🕑 Added 2025-01-03 23:20:23 +0000 UTCDrag Tree and Timer System Overview
This system combines a drag tree light system and a drag timer, offering a complete solution for drag racing functionality. Here's how it works:
Drag Tree Light System
Pre-stage Lights: These activate whenever the brake, transbrake, or clutch pedal is pressed.
Full Stage:
Achieved when any of the above three pedals are held down and the throttle is above 80% for 1.5 seconds.
Once fully staged, you are locked in position, and a random timer (1.5–2.5 seconds) will determine when the tree drops.
Tree Types
Four tree modes are available, offering versatile lighting sequences:
.400 Pro Tree:
A .400-second delay between the lighting of all three yellow bulbs and the green bulb.
.500 Pro Tree:
Identical to the .400 tree, but with a .500-second delay instead.
Sportsman Tree:
Lights the yellow bulbs sequentially from top to bottom in 0.5-second intervals, ending with the green light.
Instant Green:
Operates like a Pro Tree, but skips the yellow bulbs entirely—only the green light is displayed.
Reaction Time System
Triggering: Reaction time is recorded once fully staged and the vehicle exceeds 1 mph.
Measurement:
A timestamp is taken at the moment the car moves, compared to the scheduled green light activation time.
Any negative reaction time results in a red light.
Drag Timing System
Ready to Record: The timer resets whenever the car is below a set speed threshold.
Start Recording: The timer begins as soon as the car exceeds a specific speed threshold.
Additional Notes
Independent Timer:
The drag timer operates independently from the drag tree. You can start a run anytime, and it will record accurate times without factoring in reaction time.
Best Times:
Your best times are displayed on the right side of the screen and can only be reset by clicking the reset button in the bottom-right corner.
Disclaimers
The drag timer does not require the tree to drop before recording starts. Reaction time is never added to or subtracted from your pass time.
This timer is calibrated to in-game systems like West Coast and Gridmap V2. While the times may appear slightly faster compared to Adam’s timer, this system aims to provide more accurate results for in-game performance.
If a car has an excessively shaky jbeam, the timer may not work as intended. This issue stems from the car itself, not the timer.
This drag tree does not work in conjunction with any in-game trees and does not pair two clients together. It is designed purely for client-side use.
Known Bugs
Occasionally, the red light may trigger unexpectedly when you are moving, displaying excessively high reaction times. Enjoy the chaos!
