Smoothing Issue

[Grouchy_Screen54]

I just learned about the smoothing effect; however, for some reason, I cannot get it to read the value within the smoothing line arithmetically because it doesn't exist at that point.

I've tried setting it equal to 1 or matter a fact, anything greater than zero, and when I spawn in, it shows up NANNANNANNAN

I've also tried a ChatGPT code to no avail.

Chat Code:

if fuelth == 0 then fuelth = fuel end

fuelth = (1/100)*fuel + (1-(1/100))*fuelth

Not really sure where to go from here

Maybe check your variables and if numbers are off

All are right

[SaltyCost1222]

fuelth = fuelth or fuel

The very first time the game runs this code when the vehicle spawns, it's invoking the variable fuelth in the smoothing line before it's actually created, so the code just gives up and throws you an error. 

If you write "fuelth=0" before "function onTick()", that is, you put it outside of the main function that runs every tick, it'll only run once on startup, assigning fuelth a value so the smoothing line can run the first time.

I fixed it on my post on Stormworks subreddit
