I’m trying to make a mario-kart type system for drifting but the kart is always spinning uncontrollably when I try to drift.
How can I fix it? I’ve tried many different setting but they either don’t drift or drift too much
Have you seen this?
Also, I have come across some youtube videos regarding this.

I’ve tried implementing it once but it had no effect, I probably did something wrong somewhere but not sure where.
Unfortunately, I don’t have practical experience with drifting of chaos vehicles, but I do know its not an easy thing to get right. My best bet is that you check out some of the youtube videos which explain how all the settings affect each part of the car. Most of the behavior will come from there. After that, some correction logic might be needed in the steering etc. If the basics of the car setup are not correct, you wont get good results. I would advice also to study all the chaos vehicle debugging commands. they are quite useful in understanding whats actually happening. Good luck.
Ok, thanks!
Did you get this to work? When I paste this I get transported to error city
It’s most likely not going to work. You cannot access variables in BP such as Steering Sensitivity (which is not even a float, but it’s set by a curve in the Chaos Wheeled Vehicle Component). I can imagine doing it the hacky way, such as changing the Steering Sensitivity by changing the float coming from the steering input. Also, not sure what Traction Multiplier is meant to be, possibly the Wheel Friction Multiplier? No clue on how this code is meant to be used properly.
I’ve been trying to do that for my racing game for so long I think I finally did it , of course you need a RWD car with enough torque, and steering assist in case you dont have a wheel, if still spinning out try to increase the angular damping to 2 or something like that

I forgot to mention, in the event beginplay set the front tires slip multiplier to 1, therefore the front tires won’t slide
What is skid magnitude? I cant find that.
Thanks for this. But it’s not clear where the variables skid magnitude and steering are set. I assume they are the wheel status.skid magnitude and steering input from the chaos wheeled vehicle movement component. Also the steer angle variable macro is not called anywhere in the pictures you sent.
