Vehicle Nodes

by DMT · in Artist Corner · 07/23/2010 (8:50 pm) · 4 replies

Hello,

I am trying to make a very simple wheeled vehicle. At this point I have a model with 4 wheel nodes named wheel0 - wheel3, and I have had little success in mounting wheels to the said nodes.

When I try to do : vehicle.setWheelTire(0, DefaultCarTire);

I get : setWheelTire: wheel index out of bounds, vehicle has 14878341 hubs

So my question is this : what nodes do I need, at a minimum, to be able to create a wheeled vehicle capable of motion?

Thanks.

The nodes where the wheels are mounted must be called 'hubN' (where N is 0-3) for a 4 wheeled vehicle.

I think you also need to check collapse all transforms when exporting
