Do you have anymore details you could type?

Do you want to know what to know what program you need to model them or how to get them to work in Torque with the trailer following the car?

Hi Matthew, I want to do One Truck with trailers, for my game "Carrying Brazil" (www.dynamicgames.com.br/jogos_TrasnportandooBrasil.html), I have the models ready to use, I want to know, how I Implement this in Torque. I want to use Joints for best Physics In the Truck and Trailers.

a great Embrace!!!!

Really dont know how to implement it into torque but I can give you some direction on how I would do it. I would animate all the animations for the truck and trailers like turning that type of stuff. Animate the trailers seperate from the truck but make sure they turn at the same time and correctley. Then in the game when someone turns the truck I would run the animation frames of the truck and the trailer and it should turn just right in theory.

But I might be wrong on this.

Last time I checked there was no "trailer" support.

realize the logic is slightly different for a physical trailer than that of a physical car/truck.

you will need to provide this trailer logic yourself.

unless of course it has been completed and added since I last checked..
I am sure someone here will let us know either way.

Hey guys,

I am trying to get point about car collıson: There is a car on the road but ıt should go contantly wıthout collısion on the road. I am trying to create pavement near to road. But my car shouldnt get out of road and last thing that I want to domy pavement need to be invisible. How can I do all things that I clarified above?

thanks ın advance,
