Vehicle wall climbing

by DNADMG · in Torque Game Engine · 03/07/2006 (3:18 pm) · 2 replies

I am currently working of a racing type game using the racing mod... my current dilema is getting the vehicle to not climb up my side "guide" walls of my racing track.. i want it to just slide along when it gets to each side..

any ideas on how to get my vehicle to be a little more stable?


thanks,

Aryn

You'll have to tweek the WheeledVehicleDatablock ( mass, friction, dampers, etc. ).

Don't ask me what those values should be cause I don't understand them very much. Just go by try and error.

Also make sure that your center of mass is low. TGE uses the vehicle bounding box to determine the center of mass, unless you specify a massbox in the datablock. Make sure your bounding box really reflects the shape of your vehicle and it's ok to cheat a little. the bounding box can be smaller/lower than the extents of your vehicle if you need.
