The crouch keybind as a drift button for vehicles

[Filipe]

Basicly a button that drifts the car if you keep pressing it, how about the crouch button since there is no use of that on vehicles? I wonder if that's possible, I have some good ideas with it

Wait wait I got a better idea, how about use another keybind instead of replacing the brake on the spacebar, for example use the crouch button to drift? So you can have both drift and brake

yes plz

Well this is not a "should I make this guys?" Kind of suggestion topic, more like a topic to see if it's possible to be made and if there is anyone willing to help scripting

[Renderman]

Wouldn't have this be damn near impossible due to blocklands horrid physics?

[rygold]

Yes.

Support.

I dont know if possible, but somehow you click some key, and your car changes his settings?

 Well, my rough idea is that the mod will change car's wheel datablock for the drifting one when the keybind is pressed, and then if the lateral velocity is smaller than $DefinedSomewhereInTheCarsDatablock MPH the wheel will be changed to non-drifting one.
 I haven't really played around with drifting vehicles so I'm not sure which parameter change causes the car to drift.

Probably something related to friction. The "drift" cars we had were cars that slide in curves

Well I meant it as in I'm not sure if the wheel is the only thing which is modified to make the car drift. No worries, already took a peek at some add-ons.

Look at the code of the drifting jeep. I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the main body of the car. Last time I used it I noticed that it started wobbling left and right when I stopped suddenly.

Already took a look at Drifting Turismo - the only things modified are the lateral and longtitudal velocity damping on the tires. You can, of course, also modify the rigid body or springs a little bit to make the ride more comfortable, but it's the wheels that make you drift.

Or you could look at the original code. In the drifting jeep. Like I suggested and provided a link for.

Just did, it's done the same way by lowering lateral force/damping (yeah a typo in my above post, longitudinal damping isn't touched), everything else is exactly the same as the car's original version.
