I wasn’t sure if this goes in Scripting or Building support, but since it’s mostly a Physics based problem I think building is probably the one.
I have been working on the basics of car physics for the past two days and have hit nothing but roadblock after roadblock and I need help,
Here is my car:
In a previous iteration of the Vehicle the physics would spaz out so bad it would fly out under the map as soon as the player touches it, After continuing to tinker with it It no longer messes out as much but the suspension does not work at all, and instead the CylindricalConstraint just stretch out to the maximum possible suspension without any give for the physics, Not only that but half the time the tires do not even roll.
You can see that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbFc6yYD-x8
What I have tried:
1 Changing friction and other physics properties of the wheels and other parts of the car.
2 Changing the properties of the springs, CylindricalConstraints, etc.
3 Moving/Redoing Attachments for the springs and CylindricalConstraints.
4 Redoing the wheels and Body of the vehicle.
5 Disabling suspension and only focusing on CylindricalConstraints.
6 Starting from Scratch again and again.
For example in an older model of the vehicle the tire meshes would act as the collision for the tires themselves, the suspension would work fine in this iteration but since the mesh was not simulated as a perfect circle the driving would be jittery, after that I used invisible cylinders to act as collision for the wheels, that fixed the jitteryness (mostly), but then the suspension broke again for no reason other then the part was no longer a mesh.
Here are screenshots of everything in the car including properties and a few of the scripts though I don’t think they matter here, I’m adding them just in case:
To make the car I used this tutorial:
Though as of right now the vehicle has been changed so much over the course of this endeavor that is does not share many similarities with the one in the video
If you want to test out the vehicle for yourself, and see if you can fix things here is the place:

Thank you for your help.
