Set Drive value

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No

Describe the solution you'd like

When syncing a Drive across the network, I can easily sync the value itself, but there's no easy way for me to then use this value to change the state of the other user's Drive. As it is, I need to either use the Target system, or manually set the position/angle of the drive based on the value and the parameters (like axis)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I would like a function like "SetValue" (and maybe "SetValueSilent") that sets the Drive to the correct state based on the value. It could be normalized or not.

would this not cause an issue with the joint drive?

because i assume what you're after is:

given a linear drive has a travel of 0 to 10

if the drive is moved on client A then the joint is moved along the axis of the drive

and on client B, the position of the drive is synced immediately to the position of client A drive

But the issue with that is you're not changing the position of the interactable, you're driving it with a rigidbody force along the limits of the joint.

so client B cannot be synchronised without driving the interactable position with rigidbody force (which is what target value is doing)
