Custom physic vehicle simulation! Project download included

thanks! join the discord server to chat with me and a bunch of other people that like the project :stuck_out_tongue:

I cannot agree more !

he is the man !

update 2.9 is out! check first post for latest video!

I followed your tutorial: How to implement new vehicles with the physic vehicle project. (unreal engine 4)(Blueprint) - YouTube and this is what I got:

You did not tick the “Wheels onto vehicle mesh” Checkbox. So the blueprint spawned and attached new wheels.

True, but there’s a different problem: https://youtu.be/f2YGbGhhAnY

EDIT:
OK, it seems that the body joint scale was exported from Maya with a value of 10 and couldn’t be changed in UE without messing up. I fixed that, and got the car running… just barely. It needs ridiculous suspension settings and even then it’s still struggling to go: https://youtu.be/sTrxCeIguT8

try adjusting the center of mass offset. for most vehicle the value I put for the camaro is gonna be way too much. And the cars does seem to be insanely front-heavy in that video.

Having issue getting the Headlights to come on… Do you have any documentation about each aspect or of the Blueprints?

Hey, this is really cool by the way, but why have you done the collision the way you have. I can’t get any static meshes to have collision with the wheels I have a loop and bank curves for a track. Is there no way to use your set up here with static meshes for tire collision?

Thanks

You mean use a static mesh’s collision for the wheels? or that the wheel does not collide with static meshes? as for using a cylinder collision from a static mesh, no matter how much polygons the cylinder has, the collision wont ever be round enough and will cause major jumping at high speed.

I think I mean static collision for the wheels when the car hits the ramp the wheels go through but not the body. I sort of have it working with the Drivable car Package from the marketplace but I think you’re right it’s really hard to get it so it just doesn’t bounce off the ramp at his speed messing around with the collision bodies seems to help. I have it working. The ramp material needs to have a physics material. Thanks for your help. I really like your work it’s much more elaborate then the one I paid 30 bucks for.

Sorry I reread your post. I mean the wheels won’t collide with my static meshes like a loop and banked curves.=)

Hey Dude, First of all thank you a lot for all the videos
Can you pin point to the video where you made the steering wheel work( Like a link)
Also, I tried changing the car in the project you provided but I am unable to because the tires in my car is already rigged and the auto span tires in your project is conflicting I guess.

“Wheels onto mesh” its a checkbox in the settings. It uses the wheels that are onto the vehicle mesh instead of spawning new ones.

The Mill BLACKBIRD, some one are working with this model of project for cars?

Hello, would you be able to show how you set up the 3rd person camera to follow the character/car/driver.
or at least the most simplest way that you know?

hello to yesterday I downloaded my project 2.9, but the active server does not work properly when I activate the dedicated server option
Please check this your project :frowning:

Version 3.0 is up! check the first post for the download link. It is meant to be opened in 4.20. It includes a fix for the bouncy wheels on the road spline, car selection menu and more!

Oh my goodness I’m going to test it now, thank you very much. :)))))

Little preview of what is coming next :slight_smile:
