How to use Hinges to make a car?

Hello!

I’ve been trying to make a car in Roblox for a while now, I’ve had minor success with BodyMovers using velocity, however, they will often not work or they work but not in an intended way. I had asked a game that used cars the way they did it, and they said they used hinges for both turning and moving.

The problem is, I don’t know how to do that. I know the basics of constraints, but I thought surface hinges were deprecated and vehicle seats couldn’t control them? Would I make a script to control the hinges like a motor?

I’m not looking for a spoon-fed answer, and I know I wouldn’t get one if I was. But is there a good tutorial that covers making a car with hinges? Or any tips you have?

Thanks :slight_smile:

If I reckon correctly from the last time I was scripting and building a vehicle earlier, you have to use the new constraints and some kind of hinges. I am not exactly sure which ones they were, but they were related to hinges. Try anything and see for yourself and “hope” that it works.

Ah ok, i’m using the new hinge constraint for the car. Works really well but the servo motor won’t stay in place when unprompted? not sure what to do about that so i might have to start a new topic lol

Servo hinges might work for you since they can go to 360 degrees.
