Overview

This is one of my most beloved scripting projects; a functioning car.

Model

The model wasn't my main concern for this project, so I got the following licensed model, welded and set it up, then made really simple wheels so I could get to setting them up.

In the future, when I expand on this project, I hope to give the model a bit more importance and perhaps make it myself.

Setup

Setting up the model parts to work well with one another was perhaps the heart of this project.

I simply welded the car parts together, made some quick wheels, and you can see how quickly they were made by the fact that the rim is only on the outer side. After finishing setting up the wheels properly, I added a seat and also 2 exit-positions.

Exit Positions

The reason I added 2 exit positions; one at the left and the other at the right of the car, was in-case the car flipped sideways. I coded it to check if that was the case, and check which exit-position was in the clear, to let the player exit there and not get stuck underground.

Suspension

Currently I have added basic suspension to the car as can be seen in the video, and I plan on improving it further along the journey.

Conclusion

Coding a vehicle, specifically a car, was one was my scripting dreams, and I am glad to check that off the list! I benefited and learnt a lot from Suphi Kaner on YouTube. This is a work in progress and I plan to add more features to this.
