Interior Animations
The movement of various things in the truck interior is controlled by program-driven animations ( *_anim ). For each animation, the range is set by the *_anim_min and *_anim_max values. As most animations expect a range from 0 to 1, these are also the default values. If an animation expects any other value range, it will be stated below.
Special Animations
| Attribute Name | Function | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| wheel_anim | Steering wheel | 0 - left full lock 0.5 - center 1 - right full lock |
For best results, each keyframe should be less than 45° The steering wheel bone should be named steering_w for compatibility with interchangeable steering wheels. Removed in 1.42, wheel is driven procedurally instead of animation since then.. |
| wheel_updown_anim | Steering column tilt adjustment | 0 - lowest setting 1 - highest setting |
The default position is set by wheel_updown_anim_default |
| wheel_frontback_anim | Steering column telescope adjustment | 0 - fully retracted 1 - fully extended |
The default position is set by wheel_frontback_anim_default |
| wiper_anim | Windshield wipers | 0→1 is a full wipe cycle (from park to full travel and back to park) |
The keyframes at 0 and 1 should match. |
| gadget_anim | 0→1 is a full animation cycle (animation will be played as a continuous loop) |
This animation is played in a loop while the truck's ignition/electricity is on. |
Stick Animations
| Attribute Name | Function | Behavior | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| blinker_anim | Turn signal control lever | 0 - left indicator active 0.5 - rest position 1 - right indicator active |
|
| lights_anim | Headlight control | 0 - lights off 0.5 - parking/clearance lights on 1 - headlights on |
|
| high_beam_anim | High beam headlight control | 0 - rest position 1 - high beams on |
|
| light_horn_stick_anim | Light/city horn button | 0 - rest position 1 - light horn being applied |
|
| wiper_stick_anim | Windshield wiper control | 0 - off 1 - maximum speed |
This animation is interpolated based on the total number of wiper speeds. For example, if there are two additional wiper speeds (delays), 0.33 would correspond with the first and 0.67 with the second delay definition. |
| parking_stick_anim | Parking brake control | 0 - parking brake released 1 - parking brake applied |
North America: Whether 'in' or 'out' is the applied state will depend on the truck – make sure that the animation matches the label on the valve or you will look like a goof.
The typical usage is for 'push to release' systems where the 0.0 state is 'in' and the 1.0 state is 'out'. |
| Europe: | |||
| flasher_4way_anim | Four-way flasher (hazard light) control | 0 - rest position 1 - hazard lights are active |
For a button, the “depressed” state would be 0.5 to make the button press and rebound for both activation and deactivation |
| engine_start_anim | Ignition and starting controls | 0 - off 0.33 - electricity on 0.67 - engine on 1 - engine starting |
|
| beacon_anim | Beacon on/off switch | 0 - beacon off
1 - beacon on | |
| trailer_air_stick_anim | Trailer air supply valve | 0 - trailer disconnected
1 - trailer connected |
This is directly tied to whether a trailer is connected to the truck or not.
Typical usage is for a 'push to supply' type, so the valve is 'out' in the 0.0 state and 'in' in the 1.0 state |
| trailer_brake_stick_anim | Trailer brake hand valve
(sometimes called the 'spike') |
0 - rest position
1 - trailer brake hand valve fully applied |
Do not confuse this with the trailer supply valve - the hand valve is used (rarely) to apply only the trailer brakes in a controlled manner |
| retarder_stick_anim | Retarder control | 0 - off
1 - maximum setting |
|
| engine_brake_stick_anim | Engine brake control | 0 - off
1 - maximum setting |
Added in 1.38 |
| auto_transmission_stick_anim | Automatic transmission gear selector | 0 - reverse 0.5 - neutral 1 - drive |
|
| lift_axle_stick_anim | Lift axle switch/control | ||
| differential_lock_stick_anim | Differential lock switch/control | 0 - disengaged 1 - engaged |
Added in ETS2 1.27/ATS 1.6 |
Gauge animations
This set of animations handles analog gauges. The related *_min and *_max attributes set the values that the start and end of the animation correspond to. Where the simulated value exceeds the min/max attribute, the animation is clamped.
Note: All *_psi_* attributes have been renamed to *_pressure_* as of ETS2 1.27/ATS 1.6. This is to reflect the change to bar (atmospheres) as the working pressure unit instead of psi.

Indicator animations
These animations are not interpolated from 0 to 1. Instead they have only 2 states: switched off (0) and switched on (1), so these animations should have only 2 key frames. All indicator animations are triggered during the start-up electrical check, as well as for their particular functions.

Dashboards IDs
Screen of dashboard computers uses our UI library and shows thus UI elements. Each element has unique ID and can be used only once (due to caching). Most of fields can be used as two parameter template - value and unit, both are used accordingly to current game options.
