[ASSETS] [OPEN SOURCE] Tanks, tracks and N-wheeled vehicles

I’ve been testing with an excavator setup.

I removed the idler and sprocket and use only the roadwheels here.

but I noticed some weird collision behaviour.

Whenever any colossion volume comes over another (hope I’m explaining it right)… it stops the excavator from being able to move foreward.

I hope it’s visible in the video… The cabin and all the rest is a child object of the hull.
The bucket and the arm have a collision object.

Whenever one of these inline with the Z axis go “over” something on the floor… it stops the excavator.
When I remove the collision from the bucket and arms… all is fine.

There is no direct collision (the arm is raised high enough to clear everything) , It looks as If everything in the hierarchy upwards of the hull get’s checked in the Z direction down to the ground.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Old Raven,

We are working on Excavator, we have completed Boom, Arm and Bucket movements with calculations method (blue print using normal mesh)
We have used Tanks and N-Wheeled vehicles for wheel and tracks.

We tried many things on to get the piston work. But no use, we are not able make it work as we expected.

Could you please help by sharing any tutorials to make it work? we would like to use blueprint with normal mesh (no skeletal mesh), its fine we use look constraints also (we tried this also but not we are not able apply to our mesh). We dint tried physics contains till now.

Please let us know if you any suggestions.
