Downforce on raycast suspension car

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

I don’t use a body gyro, but rather a VectorForce.

#22

I guess the only way around this is to calculate a downforce, but again I have no clue how to do it without messing with the suspension’s ride height

#23

It’s an offset to the force, not something to adjust the ride height.

#24

How would I calculate this offset?

#25

Try this:

I said this earlier.

#26

The entire velocity or just the Y axis?

#27

Also not sure if this would work as the spring force doesn’t get higher as the issue happens

#28

I think just the Y axis.

This applies an offset to the force, so it adjusts it.

#29

I’ll try that when I wake up, I’ll let you know the results

#30

I managed to make this, somewhat works but it is far too inconsistent and also takes a lot of time to tune.

local veldot = math.abs(sray.Normal:Dot((localvel*Vector3.new(0,1,0)).Unit))
local activate = (localvel.Y < -.25 and grounded == 1 and xzmag > 150 and veldot > .965) and 1 or 0
			
v.Spring.Force = springDir * force*(1-math.clamp(veldot,-1,1)*(activate*.45))
#31

Do you know how I could make my calculations more accurate?

#32

I don’t know why this activate statement is necessary.
