Not sure what I’m doing wrong here, but if I try and use Parent Bone Space for my suspension, the road wheel will for some reason move 1.7km away immediately upon simulation. If I use Component Space it works as intended, however.

Has there been any changes with 4.25? Cross-referenced my blueprints and rig to that of the LightTankTraceWheelsWithAnimBPPrototype a hundred times but I simply can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong here.

Last few hours I’ve been trying to get the suspension arm to rotate along the Y-axis using LookAt so it looks as if it’s attached to the road wheel. But I simply can’t get it to work. It’ll either look in really weird directions or simply just not inherit any of the wheel’s “height”.

Any ideas? For context it’s a rather accurately modeled Tiger 1 torsion bar suspension*(torsion bar and suspension arm are modeled)*.

Edit:

Well I found part of the issue, if I divide the location calculated in the UpdateAnimationWheels function by 10.0 - it works as intended. For some reason any transform I’m doing to a bone is multiplied by 10.

I thought that usually resetting the XForm fix these kind of weird behaviours, but sadly it did not in this case…

Check that your bones are not scaled. The “LookAt” function works the best when mesh is aligned along the X axis of the bone.
