# VehicleHandling

> Talos 0.7 · Since 0.7

Arcade handling guard: no spins from steering, no pivoting at low speed, a reverse speed limit.

Every number scales with the body's own mass and inertia. Absent: none of it, and the vehicle behaves exactly as without the feature; present, a field left out takes its default.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `maxSlip` | `number` | no | `0` |  | The slip angle in RADIANS above which the guard steps in, greater than zero. Defaults to 0.42. Slip is between where the vehicle points and where it travels. |
| `antiSpin` | `number` | no | `1` |  | Strength of the guard past `maxSlip`, 0..1; 0 is off. Defaults to 1. It pulls the yaw back toward the travel direction, bleeds sideways speed and straightens itself when the steering is released. |
| `maxYawRate` | `number` | no | `2` |  | Yaw rate cap in RADIANS PER SECOND, greater than zero, easing to 0.83 of it at top speed. Defaults to 2.3. |
| `turnRadius` | `number` | no | `5` |  | Low-speed turn limit in METRES, greater than zero: no pivoting on the spot. Defaults to 5.2. The yaw rate stays under 0.35 + speed / turnRadius. |
| `maxReverseSpeed` | `number` | no | `4` |  | Backward speed cap in METRES PER SECOND, greater than zero. Defaults to 4.5. |
| `landingGrace` | `number` | no | `0` |  | Seconds after a landing with the guard half as strong again, 0 or more. Defaults to 0.7. It fades out over them. |
| `driftSlip` | `number` | no | `0` |  | `maxSlip` while the `drift` block is drifting, in RADIANS, greater than zero. Defaults to 0.62. |
| `maxRiseSpeed` | `number` | no | `2` |  | Upward speed cap in METRES PER SECOND while on its wheels, 0 or more; 0 is off. Defaults to 2.5. No launches off a drift or a kerb. |
| `antiRoll` | `number` | no | `1` |  | Keeps the body within 8 degrees of upright on the ground, 0..1; 0 is off. Defaults to 1. A torque from its own inertia. |
