UPDATE:
Yesterday, i had some free time so i decided to make some Trigger Collisions for the car, but i think a have run into a "bug".
It doesn't matter which Collision Preset, or is it No Physics Collison, it will always work as it was a Collider.
But if i choose No Collision it doesn't have any Collision Function nor Trigger Function.
Is there any fix for it?

[dcyoung]

try turning off "autoweld" for the trigger volume under the Physics Details category and then set it to overlap only or whatever collision type you're after

Thanks for the information, it's working now, tomorrow i can continue working on this project!

UPDATE:
Hi, guys!
Sorry, that i am not adding too frequently posts from this project, but now i am!
Here are some images, from the tyre of the new car:











Also, some images from the map:







I have made the Triggers to work correctly so from now the car will deform on the crash location on the car not just randomly damaging the car.
Also the new car is an Fiat 500, also the finished version will not contain any emblems, and i will add a fictional name for the car.

Looking great so far, I'm definitely going to keep my eye over this project.

[Balint3DDesign]

Thanks! I am working on the car interior right now, but before i can finish it i will need some sleep.

UPDATE:
Hi, guys!
Here's another update, from this project!
Also i have uploaded a new build to the above link it includes the new car.
The new car is still in W.I.P. stage, also i have an minor problem with the front brake pads (doesn't rotate along with the tyre), but that problem you will see it on the newest build yourself!
Here are some images, from the the new car, and also some pictures related to my above problem:







These images are from this project, i wanted to get the Z axis rotation from the front wheel's, but i am not sure how can i get those from the animation blueprint to my car, could someone help me out?

[jeffmorris]

Make the steering wheel turn with the front wheels. Try to make the brake calipers (you said pads) children of steering pivots.

[Balint3DDesign]

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, with the pads i meant calipers, thanks for correcting me out, also i want to make the steering wheel rotate, after i am able to get the front wheels Z axis rotation from the animation blueprint, also on the 4 and 6 image, you can see that i am tried to cast it, but i don't really know what should i insert to the "Object" pin.

Get the wheel angle in your vehicle BP then send it to your Anim BP with an interface. Check this post for more info: https://forums.unrealengine.com/show...l=1#post275919

Thanks for the kind words, i appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply!
I got it working with the help of your thread, right now i got my steering wheel rotating and also my front brake calipers correctly, at least one of them.
I don't know what could cause it, but the right one rotates with the wheel exactly, but the left one just won't, it's rotating into the wheel's rim, so it's just rotates a bit much.
I have tried to change it's variable using a float*float node and change it's second pin, if i lower it then if i turn the wheel to look right (i press right or d button) then, i can set a value that will make it look right, but if i turn the wheel to the opposite side it will look worse than on the beginning.
What could cause this problem?

It's a bit hard to see but the calliper goes into the wheel's rim.
