id like to let you know that you still havent used the bot lighting on all of your hachiroku variants... did you miss them out?
if(!%veh.headlight)
{
%veh.headlight = 1;
%veh.unhidenode(brakeON);
%veh.hidenode(brakeOFF);
%veh.mountImage(HachirokuHL1, 0); //ohey the old code snippet is still here?
%veh.playThread(0,Popup);
}
else
{
%veh.headlight = 0;
%veh.hidenode(brakeON);
%veh.unhidenode(brakeOFF);
%veh.unMountImage(0); //pls
%veh.playThread(0,Popdown);
}another thing that gets me confused is why is the entire thing suddenly AWD? couldve just used my settings
function HachirokuVehicle::onAdd(%this,%obj)
{
Parent::onAdd(%this,%obj); //there is absolutely no sign of a setWheelPowered here, this goes for the rest too
%obj.playthread(0,"propslow");
%obj.hideNode(lhand);
%obj.hideNode(rhand);
%obj.hideNode(lhook);
%obj.hideNode(rhook);
%obj.hideNode(brakeON);
%obj.schedule(0,garageDefault);
%obj.spawnMountedLightBot(4);
}i also did mention that drag makes drifting harder, using a value above 3.2 isnt recommended but 3 is fine (unless your drifting vehicle has AWD and uses stuff tons of acceleration to drift)
not to mention it also slows the vehicle down in terms of acceleration, but the effects arent really apparent till you try to drift a corner (not noticeable because your hachiroku is AWD and has acceleration's help to keep that unnoticeable)
datablock WheeledVehicleData(HachirokuDriftVehicle)
{
drag = 4.5; //too high, just too high
};can you consider increasing the hachirokus mass to 300? then maybe increasing the spring force to 3500 after thats done? with the mass at 200 and the spring force at 3000, the entire thing feels stiff on landings and doesnt seem that stable for control (2 or 3 tires sometimes dont make proper contact with the ground on landing approach and destabilizes the hachiroku, the force really needs a reduction at least)
datablock WheeledVehicleTire(HachirokuDriftTire)
{
shapeFile = "./Hachirokuwheel.dts";
mass = 10;
radius = 1;
staticFriction = 5;
kineticFriction = 5;
restitution = 0.5;
lateralForce = 1000; //id say 1500/2000 would be enough but this is something that is on ice
lateralDamping = 100;
lateralRelaxation = 0.5;
longitudinalForce = 17000; //why did you increase the front/backwards motion force?
longitudinalDamping = 3000; //same thing, why?
longitudinalRelaxation = 0.01;
};i dont get why was the longitudinalforce raised, drifting vehicles do not need that much acceleration unless you plan to make that thing oversteer to actually drift
the lateralforce also concerns me a little, thats somewhat too little to start off with (is my perception of drifting different from yours, filipe?) was this hachiroku meant to drift on 64x64 baseplates or 32x32 baseplates?
datablock WheeledVehicleTire(HachirokuTire)
{
shapeFile = "./Hachirokuwheel.dts";
mass = 10;
radius = 1;
staticFriction = 5;
kineticFriction = 5;
restitution = 0.5;
lateralForce = 4000; //at least 6000
lateralDamping = 200; //isnt this tire setting supposed to grip the floor and not slide slightly?
lateralRelaxation = 0.4; //same thing, i think 0.3 or 0.2 wouldve been ok for this grip purpose
longitudinalForce = 14000; //too high, an acceptable value would probably be at least half of this
longitudinalDamping = 2000; //1000 or 800 id say
longitudinalRelaxation = 0.01; //changing this does nothing, logitudinalRelaxation does what this should do
};this is a little unexpected, i thought you complained about how twitchy this kind of tire setting was on landings? this tire setting is acceptable for a car with a mass of 300 and not 200, for 200 this would be seriously overkill
tell me, was the hachiroku designed to drift on 64x64 wide baseplates or 32x32 wide baseplates? the drifting radius is just so wide it fits for the 64x64 wide purpose; wasnt the hachiroku meant to be on narrow roads like initial d's touges? or was it due to how most blockland drivers dont like fast vehicles that demand attention on narrow roads?
try this track and youll understand why i said the drifting radius is too wide, unless this was actually not meant to drift on 32x32 wide baseplate tracks (track is an attachment)
