[REQUEST]Vehicle creation tutorial

[yuki]

Can somone please make this? I would like to try making a vehicle.

[Packer]

You know putting REQUEST: in front of your topic can go a long way.

[yuki]

Ok i did, so can anyone diret me to or make a tutorial on making vehicles?

[stevey1000]

If you're making the model, Look at my tut here.
But since the code has more variables in retail'd, Then don't bother if you're going to code it from my tut too.

[yuki]

Ok, but how should i go about creating a jet?

[stevey1000]

The same way. Just with/without wheels.

[Kyo]

Yuki is banned so he asked me to post this too:
"I created a vehicle using that tut, and when i spawn it, it crashes the entire game."

[Kyo]

"Sorry for bump, but i need help. I created a Vehicle that runs off of the Magic Carpet script, so i made 2 seats on it with the joint names in the tut. I used the Jeep bound box, just like the magic carpet and looked through the script. When i spawn it, it crashes my game. What did i do wrong?"

Sorry for bump, but i really need help with this.

[Packer]

.... Copy both jeep.cs and the support_jeep.cs then open them and press Ctrl G then Find What: Jeep
Replace with: Name. Then Rename the .cs's...

[yuki]

Sorry for the bump, but i tried everything and it still crashes the game to spawn the car.

Most likely your model, Scripts can't really crash the game only the model.
Make sure you wheels go under the collision and when the Vehicle Bounces the collision doesn't hit the ground.

[Space Guy]

In neither of them scripts do you actually define 'DelorianExplosionSound' so the script keeps on looping. Forever and crashing. Change it to JeepExplosionSound or actually define the sound.

Then a vehicle model tut?

I'll try.

Can anyone post a vehicle creation tut?
