direction of my car not right

[supple drum]

Hi, sorry to bother you. I have a problem with my car it starts in a direction to the right yet the hinge of my steering has TargetAngle initialized to 0. I do not understand how it happens. Here is the .rbxm. and when I want to change direction with the impossible keys it won't move.

[thorn venture]

your attachments are facing the wrong way. and your script isn't acting on the steering hinge. turning on show constraints helps. and the whole thing isn't precision built: your attachments aren't centered, not exactly a problem here but it can be if attachments aren't aligned perfectly. i suggest using grid snapping when building so you can get precise builds. goodluck

[supple drum]

my savior! thank you! How did you fix the steering problem and which way should I put the attachments?

[thorn venture]

attachments have a facing direction like parts, turning that on will show you the direction

[supple drum]

ok! I've just finished re-aligning everything perfectly! now all I need to do is put the attachments in the right direction like you told me. However, I did the show constraints to see them, but I didn't really understand why they're in the right place?

not just position, orientation. i only had to change the steering hinge

[supple drum]

something like that right?

(speaking only for the orientation)

it looks good to me, but just by changing it, my script doesn't work anymore. i can't move forward.

[thorn venture]

if u hover over the attachment with select it should show. i can't do everything for you bruh, you got yourself this far, i believe you can get yourself the rest of the way. just keep playing with it

[supple drum]

ahah i know i'm almost done lol it's just that i think i'm doing well and i think i've positioned it well

[supple drum]

I've tried every possible way lol

[supple drum]

@thorn venture Can you please give me a hint?

[thorn venture]

ye i told u the steering attachments aren't facing the right direction

[supple drum]

Y i know 😭

I tried all the directions

I've tried in front of the odds but I don't get it. If you can help me please

I'm not waiting for a solution I'm here to learn

[thorn venture]

is this your first roblox car?

[supple drum]

Yess

[thorn venture]

i couldn't find many good resources for specifically this problem, but this seems good enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx0v2aYAF2Q

[supple drum]

thank you i watched the video i learned some stuff however for the Hinge he didn't detail for the rotations of the attachments.

[thorn venture]

you can't find this?

????? what part are you getting confused?

[supple drum]

I don't know which way to place the arrows, I've tried everything, one forwards, one backwards. There is no video on youtube to help me understand how to place them in my specific case. There are only tutorials on doors. I've tried everything but I can't get the result you've shown in the video.

[thorn venture]

make them point the same

one of your attachments is yaw 180 the other is 0

[supple drum]

like this? I've tried in 2 directions with the 2 arrows in all possible cases but when I launch the game it looks like the direction is to the left if I do this.

[supple drum]

@thorn venture help me pls when u are not busy pls

[thorn venture]

make both yaw 180

@thorn venture

wdym "yaw"

iam not english

[thorn venture]

correct

[thorn venture]

and your script isn't acting on the steering hinge

[supple drum]

for the values iam correct?

[supple drum]

but it worked for you and you had my script

[thorn venture]

i changed the script lol

[supple drum]

oh ok

targetAngle i need to put it a 30 or 0 ?

[thorn venture]

naw u see it isnt trying to turn on its own

[supple drum]

it means the angle that i want

[thorn venture]

thats the problem u had before ;p

[supple drum]

so? i dont get it

y

i need to start at 0 for the targetAngle

[thorn venture]

anyway yea just change your script so it acts on the steering hinge instead of the wheels

[supple drum]

and -30 and +30

[thorn venture]

you presumably wrote it so you should understand what it does

if you used ai then well not much i can help you with

[supple drum]

dw i use ai just for syntaxe iam trying rn to do it myself

sorry for my english

thanks for help

let me cook

[supple drum]

@thorn venture

i think i did it!

i need to improve the values and logic. but i have a question. the fact that the car jumps around a bit. is this from the script to be corrected or something else?

[thorn venture]

car physics are rather involved, i can't help you with that for free. maybe look up a-chassis https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-setup-a-car-on-a-chassis/1136167

[supple drum]

and I keep seeing the word “A-Chassis” what does the A stand for?
