Cars WIP - Drift tube car suspensions test

MohdTN · Jan 16, 2019

Hey guys

I'm working on drift tube car, trying to make every thing work correctly

As you see I have few problem the arm kinda move around
I think I need to fix the nods but still the same

for the rest of the animations It worked quite good
but can I make the drive shaft rotate when I move

extra_animations:

Code:

[ROTATING_OBJECT_0]
NAME=CAM1; - name of the dummy
RPM=-300; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

[ROTATING_OBJECT_1]
NAME=CAM2; - name of the dummy
RPM=-300; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

[ROTATING_OBJECT_2]
NAME=TFAN1; - name of the dummy
RPM=-200; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

[ROTATING_OBJECT_3]
NAME=TFAN2; - name of the dummy
RPM=-200; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

[ROTATING_OBJECT_4]
NAME=DRSHAFT; - name of the dummy
RPM=130; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

[ROTATING_OBJECT_5]
NAME=ALTR; - name of the dummy
RPM=-300; - as there is no blurred texture, after a certain speed it actually starts looking slower so keep around 100
AXIS=0,0,1

Pretty cool project

For the driveshafts to work correctly (as in rotate according to wheel speed) you need ANIMATED_SUSPENSION=TRUE in the car.ini, and ksanim files for each corner.

Thank you
Can you explain to me more about what kind of ksanim and how to get it to work with the wheel speed

It's all explained in the SDK pdf. You need TRANSMISSION Emptys/Nulls

Sick project! Did you find a way to fix that issue? I'm having the same issue but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong...
