Vehicle Setup 0.7


Don't care how the vehicle wrapper works?  Just want it to work? 

This vehicle setup is my attempt to create a 'fill in the blanks' type approach.  At this point in time, there are 8 manuals.  Car Setup.  Collision Box. Tires.  Suspension.  Powertrain.  Steering.  Keyboard.  Joystick.


All you have to do is select a manual and fill in the blanks.  The python code has been written for you. 

Car Setup Manual:
This is where you enter the object names of your car and tires.  The logic tic rate.

Collision Box Manual:
Do you want to use the shape of a collision box or the shape of your car for collisions? 

Tires Manual:
Tire Position.  Tire radius.  Tire friction.  Tire drag.

Suspension Manual:
Suspension height.  Shock compression.  Shock damping.  Shock stiffness.  Car roll.

Powertrain Manual:
Choose 4 wheel drive, front wheel drive or rear wheel drive.  Choose MPH or KPH for your speedometer/odmeter.  Engine forward power.  Engine reverse power.  Brake force.  Emergency brake force.  Set a max speed for your car. 

Steering Manual:
Choose which tires have steering.  Maximum turn.  Speed adjust.  Gradual turn.  Invert steering.

Keyboard Manual:
Use keyboard. 

Joystick Manual:
Use digital joystick.  Dead zone.


You can use this setup for both personal and commercial projects.  All that I ask is that you give me credit and don't claim it as your own.
