Need Help with some sping stuff

[BotHunter]

What I've done is Very simple. would one of you mind Making it and seeing if the same thing happens? (the tanks are spaced 8 from the main tank (8/0/8))
Thanks

Put one non-dummy wheel on each tank body. Convert the other normal wheels on the track to dummies. In other words, each tank body will only have one normal wheel, making four total on the entire PCO. Make sure the normal wheels are the furthest from the PCO's center. So the "8/0/8" tank body will have a normal wheel on the right-side track near the front; the "8/0/-8" tank body will have a normal wheel on the tank body's right track and near the rear.

Aha! I forgot to mention that, too many real wheels causes oddness in driving controls/handling.

Soo. just as a test, I added 8 kastusha wheels to the Sherman tank and it does the exact same thing .

Dude, I meant "normal wheels" as in wheels affected by the engine. Not wheels the have the geometries of tires.

Don't use 8, use 4. Re-read my post.

Got it. So only 4 real wheels. So can there be a moving track too?

EDIT: I will put the 4 wheels in and make sure it works first

[BotHunter]

I think I've got it figured out!!

I don't know why but if I put 4 wheels close to the main lod (like .6 or so) it works just fine. but if I move the same wheels out to about 9.0, it starts bouncing around I don't know why this happens though.

here is some code:

Code: Select all

rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyFrontWheelR
rem ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0.6/0.11/1.0
rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyFrontWheelL
rem ObjectTemplate.setPosition -0.6/0.11/1.0
rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyBackSpringR
rem ObjectTemplate.setPosition 0.6/-0.472/-1.21
rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyBackSpringL
rem ObjectTemplate.setPosition -0.6/-0.472/-1.21

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyFrontWheelR
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 9.292/0.11/7.987
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyFrontWheelL
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -9.292/0.11/-7.987
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyBackSpringR
ObjectTemplate.setPosition 9.292/-0.472/-7.987
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate WillyBackSpringL
ObjectTemplate.setPosition -9.292/-0.472/7.987

the remed out stuff will work very well but the other stuff wont!

Any of you guys got any clues??
