Making the car stick to the road in unity3d car tutorial.

Unity Engine
1

Hi all,

Im playing with the unity car tutorial, its pretty good, but the car seems to fly off the track allot, be it on hills or because of crashes.

Is there a way to make the car ‘stick’ to the road?, it would give it a much more arcade feel.

Thanks in advance!

This is not allowed; please read the Unity Developer Network rules (section 1b). I’ve deleted the duplicate.

No matter, I just put the gravity up, now if I could just stop the car driving up the walls when its at full speed :slight_smile:

Lock some rotation axis on the rigidbody component or use mathf.clamp

function Update () {
 var xMove : float = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * 20;
 transform.Translate(Vector3(xMove,0,0));
 transform.position.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, -10, 10);
}

This code comes with the videotutorial at unity3dstudent.com

You would obviously need to clamp transform.rotation instead of transform.position

That sounds like exactly what I need, Thanks!
