Conveyor.Motor.speedRatio
double speedRatio
Description
Gets/sets conveyor speeds as a ratio of their default speeds.
The motor's speed ratio allows you to control proportional speeds of the conveyors that are attached to the motor. Generally you will set this to a value between 0.0 and 1.0, although this range is not required. The value always resets to 1.0 when the simulation starts. When you set it, it sets each attached conveyor's targetSpeed property to that conveyor's default Speed times the speed ratio.
For example, if you have a motor that is attached to two conveyors with default speeds of 2.0 and 3.0 m/s respectively, then if you set that motor's speed ratio to 0.7, it will set the first conveyor's speed to 1.4, and the second conveyor's speed to 2.1.
