I wanted to know the way I could make a car on roblox

I have played car games like drive world and jailbreak.

I have been programming for many years but never tried making cars
I always wanted to know how I could make them what’s the best way

and wanted to know the maths or physics behind it

im not sure where to start or how to make cars with many features such as drifting acceleration

any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

@EgoMoose @badcc have some vehicles in there experiences too

Try that Search button up top. This question has been answered in quite a few posts in the past.
There are tutorials on YouTube as well.
There used to be a great Roblox Tutorial using Constraint steering and suspension but it got removed for updating and it’s never been replaced.

its really hard to find a tutorial that actually teaches you how to make a car by your self

I don’t want to copy someone else I want to learn how to make it my self

and I want to understand how it works

Roblox doesnt have the best tutorials for this tbh as Roblox would rather just gives you the premade parts rather than the material ex: Constraint suspension, although it does work good.

This one is tutorial in unity is really good and illustrative.

It could also be applied to Roblox which is what people have done with raycast suspension but will face issues with low fps as vectorforce runs 60 hz while in engine physics run 240 hz.

Hopefully Roblox will add phyaics substepping soon but it will still work if fps is within normal range.

this video is good there’s just a few flaws but still helpful

Things like this are best to start off with a toolbox model you like that works well. This isn’t a matter of copying. It’s learning a bit more advanced things than you can in a quick tutorial. The new buggy in the race premade from Roblox is a good example. Has everything you could ask for. Well worth the time to break down and learn.

Here’s one I created a while ago.
There’s a lot of noted information in the script about how to fine tune Constraint suspension and the car drives pretty nice.
Just experiment with the items I mentioned in the script like vehicle mass, suspension Properties, and HingeConstriant Properties to fine tune your cars.
