How to make train turn on tracks

TheUltimateLifeFormU · June 4, 2022, 9:03pm

What do you want to achieve?
I want to achieve the ability for my train to move

What is the issue?
So, I tested my newly built train on some tracks I made not too long ago. And uhm, I made some turns to the track that would make the train turn but unfortunately when testing the game out, I didn’t get what I hoped for.

Heers my track and train set

And here’s the outcome of the result

Would I need a script for this type of occasion? No, if not then what would I need to use?

What solutions have you tried so far?

I’ve looked at YouTube videos, some devforum posts but nothing seemed to help

Any help is appreciated

Do what normal trains do. Make your wheels cone-shaped so they automatically center the car on the rails.

The answer to this is simple, and it doesnt even require scripting at all.

What you’re looking for is a “Glider” system. a glider is a part(or multiple parts) located under the wheels of your train & in between the rails. Due to this, the gliders will touch the rails at a curve preventing the train from going off the rails.

Here’s a rough sketch I made. Hope this helps!
