Need help with a car chassis

Hello, I have been looking for a while on how to make my model car drive.
All the tutorials I have seen have used a mesh. I have tried using the auto vehicle plugin but that did not work. I am open to any ideas at all since I am very new to scripting.

Thanks again.

Well first you need to figure out what you want out of the vehicle.

Do you want suspension?
Steering?
And do you want it to be adaptable? (be able to be used on different types of sizes of vehicles)

After this then you will need to either hire someone, or try to understand many of the various models.

Wether it uses meshes or not doesnt matter, (thats just cosmetics)

Ah okay. I thought there was a difference between meshes and models. No suspension, just a really simple car. Just using WSAD to move.

Right, so things Iā€™d research.

Look into HingeConstraint (specifically the actuator type motor)

Then look into User Input Service.

Learn how to power the motors on and off with those.

(adding constraint suspension isnt that difficult once you got those things down)

I saw some people saying to use the jeep model, do I just delete the body and resize everything to fit my body? Since it is a model if I unanchor all the bricks will just fall to the floor.

Yes, the reason all the bricks fall to the floor is cause you need to weld them together, Use weld constraint. Or perhaps build a script to auto weld everything to one core part.

Ah okay, thanks. So after I have welded the parts together using the jeep chassis should be fine?

Correct, that should be good.

Good luck!
