Plugins + Scripts Thrust Response Driver

Description​

Thrust Response Driver is a lightweight physics plugin that adds natural, impulse-based body response to thrusting motion in Virt-A-Mate.


The receiver body moves with the thrust direction, driven directly by the source atom’s hip movement. This creates believable follow-through, delayed response, and subtle back-fall behavior that enhances realism without overpowering existing animations or physics.


Version 2 includes a major internal overhaul to improve stability when switching poses or positions:

• Pose changes via Timeline are now handled automatically
• Receiver body parts no longer freeze or require manual re-selection
• Anchors are recalibrated on the fly to keep motion consistent

The system is timing-aware, stable across different physics rates, and designed to integrate cleanly with auto thrusters, timeline animation, and manual motion.

Features​

• Thrust-driven body response based on source hip movement
• Directionally correct impulse response
• Automatic pose-safe recalibration
• Configurable forward delay and back-fall delay
• Modular receiver body part selection
  • Hip
  • Chest
  • Head
  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Feet
• External JSON-based preset system
• Minimal performance overhead

With Thrust Response Driver:


Without Thrust Response Driver:

Usage​

1. Attach the plugin to the receiver atom (typically female).
2. Select a source atom (typically male).
3. Choose a preset and adjust values if desired.
4. Enable or disable receiver body parts as needed.

The plugin automatically uses the source hip movement as the motion driver.
