Simple Car Game

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

I am trying to create a simple car game but I don’t seem to be getting anywhere.

I have read a car tutorial on how to apply the wheel colliders and what not and tried to implement it but I always run into problems.

I even got downloads of 2 examples but I still can’t seem to figure it out.

Is there anyone who would be able to assist me in my endeavour?

You’ll need to be more specific about what issues you’re running into and how you’re actually running into these issues.

The problem that I am currently running into is that the car flips over and falls through the road.

did you try jcar (http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scripts)
it needs some time to know how to set up, but it works great.

The is a car example project in the showcase forums can’t remember where.

I haven’t look at the jcar script before. I was looking at when I saw that you posted it. Looks very confusing to me.

It’s done in C# and I’m kinda accustomed with javascript. I’m what you may call handicapped to programming.

I first started with this blog here:

But somehow I think there are things missing in the tutorial. Maybe it’s because the things that aren’t mentioned are basic things that the writer assumes that I’d know.

I’m going back in and try to read this thing again with a fine tooth comb.

One question…is it possible to create a prototype car with just a cube and 4 cylinders for the wheels?

Yeah it is! No offense but what kinda question is that? Sorry again…

All you have to do is make the car body, then the wheels and an empty game object and make the body and wheels child objects of the empty game object.

I’ll whip something up for you.

Hang on…

Yeah I know it’s a stupid question but it’s just that I have done that and my car operates wierd.

It’s probably the script that I got from the example. I’m probably not using them right.

It’s not stupid anymore because I just remembered, I had the same problem with the exact same model and script. I couldn’t figure it out so I just forgot it. Don’t use that script it’s jacked up.

Lol, ok. I’ll stop trying to work with that example.
I was actually going to try to figure it out myself again but I’ll take your advice.

Do you have another example that I could use?

I did get another example, can’t remember where though but it has this car in it:
