What is the best way to conncect a trailer to a truck?

I used AlignPositions, but it was horrible even with RegidityEnabled

Any alternatives to connect the trailer?

Maybe try hinge constraints? Connect them both with it

Doesn’t Hinge limit you to just one axis?

#4

Fair point, didn’t think of that. How about a rope constraint?

#5

Maybe ball socket constraints?

There is the result, i thinks that is a no.

#7

The result are the same :c

#8

If I turn the truck, it seems like the trailer doesn’t want to go in the same direction, it seems like it just keeps going straight ahead.

that looks like it’s an issue with the truck not having enough torque, or the trailer being too heavy. Try messing around with custom physical properties and massless to make it easier for the truck to pull the trailer.

esit: Possibly that the wheels collision box is too wide and it makes the trailer too balanced

I increased the horses, removed the mass almost completely, having about only 1k

hiya,
i stumbled onto this earlier. you could connect the truck to the trailer using a rod if that’s what you’re looking for. as the description says, it keeps 2 attachments apart by a defined length you give it i think so that the trailer wont come flying off and should in theory keep the trailer in a position where it looks the same as a real truck and trailer. this is just an idea btw ive never done this
