How to make a body mover car

Help and Feedback Building Support

The Building Support sub-category is intended for all development support relating to architecture on the Roblox platform. This includes questions ranging in difficulty from extremely basic to even the most technical of issues.

You may present your thread how you choose, but you are required to answer the following questions in your thread;

  • What are you attempting to achieve? (Keep it simple and clear)
    I want to try something different so I’m trying to make a car with body movers, I heard from a friend that jailbreak uses body movers to move their cars, so I’d like to make somthing like that.
  • What is the issue? (Keep it simple and clear - Include screenshots/videos/GIFs if possible)
    In my car body I’ve added different body movers like gyro, angular velocity etc. But every time I drive the car it doesn’t really have acceleration and when it moves forward it slowly goes to the left or right
    What solutions have you tried so far?(Have you searched for solutions through the Roblox Wiki yet?)
    I’ve done a lot of searching, and none of the pages so far have any solutions to the things I need, I’ve also studied the Roblox Jeep, but that doesn’t have the outcome I want.
    You may then include any further details.
    Sorry If this is the wrong section, idk what section to put it in

I saw many people do that. But try to help him, don’t get off-topic about the style of his post.

Not trying to roast him, just making sure that he noticed :slight_smile:

5

I never said you were roasting him…

Oh I just realized that he answered the questions— oops

You can use pre-built chassis from the toolbox like the SS6. But if you don’t like that option, then I don’t know how to help, since I never have experimented with bodymovers.

Sorry If I don’t know much, I’m just new to the forum

I believe the jeeps in the roblox Racing template work on body movers… give those a look.

10

Yea the jeeps are good, it’s just that they go to the max speed instantly and I don’t have any idea on how to change things in it.

11

The jeeps work, yea, but they are super unrealistic by its chassis and peformance.

That can be changed in the local script thats inside the drive script… i think its called localcarscript if i remember correctly. If acceleration is your only concern i can look at it when i get to a computer and see if i can slow down the acceleration.

13

Yes I realize… he wanted body mover chassis… if he was looking for realistic i would imagine he would ask for A-chassis. But im only assuming. I havent played jailbreak so i dont know.

14

Yes, I’m not looking for exactly realistic, I like body movers cars better I tried a-chassis but its not totally my type of liking

Ok inside the CarScript go to LocalCarScript and find this part of the code:

while game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:wait() and car:FindFirstChild("DriveSeat") and character.Humanoid.SeatPart == car.DriveSeat do
		--game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:wait()
		if IsGrounded() then
			if movement.Y ~= 0 then
				local velocity = humanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * movement.Y * stats.Speed.Value
				humanoidRootPart.Velocity = humanoidRootPart.Velocity:Lerp(velocity, 0.1)
				bodyVelocity.maxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			else
				bodyVelocity.maxForce = Vector3.new(mass / 2, mass / 4, mass / 2)
			end

Then change this line to the following:

humanoidRootPart.Velocity = humanoidRootPart.Velocity:Lerp(velocity, 0.01)

You are changing the 0.1 to 0.01.
It should now accelerate slower.
Hope this helps!
