Can we deactivate a motor during simulation? I'm running the simulation through an ACF file and would like to deactivate the motor once a sensor gets triggered.

Thanks @Jesper Slattengren. I'm using the Adams Machinery plugin-based motor with a curve-based input. So, I do not think I can access the motor SForce from the ACF. But your answer got me thinking about the fact that I can use an SForce instead of the plugin-based motor since I'm using a curve of Torque vs RPM anyway. I think that is how it would be modelled internally in the plugin-based motor as well (unless it is an analytical/external motor).
Also, I realized that there is an option to multiply the motor output with a factor/expression within the plugin, which I can appropriately use.
