I just made a free plugin that allows you to
- Drive any vehicle
- Record the exact movements
- Replay the animation via script at any moment
I made this because I tried animating a car for a cutscene and realized it was impossible to accurately depict all the intricacies of vehicles in motion.
Vehicle Animation Recorder Plugin
Usage:
- Add vehicle to workspace
- Set Vehicle’s primary part to a chassis or root (main part of car)
- Test/play game
- Select vehicle model in explorer
- Sit in/on vehicle
- Press Record Vehicle from the plugins bar, output should say started recording
- Drive around!
- Once done, press Record Vehicle again to end recording, then press Export Playback
- In workspace, copy the generated folder
- End test, and paste the generated folder back into workspace
- Open the Play Vehicle script, and change “workspace.Car” to workspace.(your vehicle name)
- Now use “playback.Play(vehicle)” to call the animation at any point!
