I’m trying to make a script that moves a car through “the .throttle” property of the driveseat. I’ve so far tried it on the roblox red sedan, their van, and a free model lambroghini car. I also tried doing this through the properties while in running, and it just went up to 1 throttle max.
Any way to fix this? Thanks.
1 is the max throttle a VehicleSeat can have. You should do this instead:
local maxSpeed = 30
local vehicleSeat = script.Parent --the vehicle seat
while wait() do
motors.speeds = vehicleSeat.Throttle * maxSpeed -- replace "motors.speeds" with the speed properties of your motors
-- so, say the .Throttle is at 1. 1 x 30 = 30
end
Thanks for the reply. I can’t seem to find where the motor is. The closest thing I found is a script inside of the main driveseat that’s called, “Create Motors And Doors 2”. Do you know where the motor would be located? Thanks.
Here’s the contents of that “Create Motors And Doors 2” script:
--MADE BY NWSPACEK
WheelSize = 3--diameter of the wheel
--When you are editing the car, make sure that the Left, Right, and Base parts are in a
--straight line, and in the orientation the models comes with, or they won't be where you expect
--them to be at all!
motorSpeed = 0.05 -- a typical number is 0.1 but lower is better if you get weird behavior
--don't touch below, very delicate
car = script.Parent.Parent
Base = car:FindFirstChild("Base")
Left = car:FindFirstChild("Left")
Right = car:FindFirstChild("Right")
function MakeDoor(hinge,door,hingeOffset,doorOffset)
local doorMotor = Instance.new("Motor",car)
doorMotor.Name = hinge.Name.."Motor"
doorMotor.Part0 = door
doorMotor.Part1 = hinge
doorMotor.C0 = doorOffset
doorMotor.C1 = hingeOffset
doorMotor.MaxVelocity = 0.05
door.CanCollide = true
local doorDebounce = false
door.Touched:connect(function(it)
if not doorDebounce and it.Parent and it.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(it.Parent) then
doorDebounce = true
door.CanCollide = false
doorMotor.DesiredAngle = math.pi/3
wait(1.5)
doorMotor.DesiredAngle = 0
wait(0.5)
door.CanCollide = true
doorDebounce = false
end
end)
end
function MakeWeldDoor(hinge,door)
local doorMotor = Instance.new("Motor6D",car)
doorMotor.Name = hinge.Name.."Motor"
doorMotor.Part0 = door
doorMotor.Part1 = hinge
doorMotor.C1 = hinge.CFrame:inverse()*door.CFrame
door.CanCollide = false
end
function GetCFrame(object)--we'll get a CFrame value out of a CFrameValue or a StringValue formatted like a CFrame
if object:IsA("CFrameValue") then--if someone is using a CFrame value then we'll just pull the value directly
return object.Value
elseif object:IsA("StringValue") then--added functionality for this because I dislike interfacing with CFrame values
local cframe = nil
pcall(function()--using pcall because i'm lazy
cframe = CFrame.new(object.Value:match("(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+)"))
--if you print your CFrame and paste it into the string value, this will find that out and use it properly
end)
return cframe
end
end
for _,h in pairs (car:GetChildren()) do
if h:IsA("Motor6D") then--make sure we start with a blank slate
h:Destroy()
end
end
for _,i in pairs (car:GetChildren()) do
if i:IsA("BasePart") and i.Name:find("DoorHinge") then-- found a door with regex!
local DoorID = i.Name:match("DoorHinge(.*)")--haha regex is fun
local MatchingDoor = car:FindFirstChild("Door"..DoorID)--can we use our regex powers to find a matching door?
if MatchingDoor then-- yay we found one!
local DoorCFrameValue = MatchingDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorCFrame")
local HingeCFrameValue = MatchingDoor:FindFirstChild("HingeCFrame")
if DoorCFrameValue and HingeCFrameValue then
local doorCFrame = GetCFrame(DoorCFrameValue)
local hingeCFrame = GetCFrame(HingeCFrameValue)
if doorCFrame and hingeCFrame then
MakeDoor(i,MatchingDoor,hingeCFrame,doorCFrame)
else
MakeWeldDoor(i,MatchingDoor)
end
else
MakeWeldDoor(i,MatchingDoor)
end
end
end
end
if Base then
if Left then
leftMotor = Instance.new("Motor6D", car)
leftMotor.Name = "LeftMotor"
leftMotor.Part0 = Left
leftMotor.Part1 = Base
leftMotor.C0 = CFrame.new(-WheelSize/2-Left.Size.x/2,0,0)*CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2,0,-math.pi/2)
leftMotor.C1 = CFrame.new(Base.Size.x/2+Left.Size.x+WheelSize/2,0,0)*CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2,0,math.pi/2)
leftMotor.MaxVelocity = motorSpeed
end
if Right then
rightMotor = Instance.new("Motor6D", car)
rightMotor.Name = "RightMotor"
rightMotor.Part0 = Right
rightMotor.Part1 = Base
rightMotor.C0 = CFrame.new(-WheelSize/2-Right.Size.x/2,0,0)*CFrame.Angles(math.pi/2,0,math.pi/2)

end

I suggest watching these videos (part 1, part 2) to better understand how you could make a car system.
Well I’m not looking to make one, but thanks that’ll be very helpful for understanding it better. I’m looking to get gud at scripting anyways - I’ve been scripting for 3 weeks and plan start learning full web development later this year and beyond. Thanks for the resources. I’ll check them out.
How would I go about visualising the ray? I think I remember seeing a way to do that, I just can’t find clear instruction on it, though I’ll keep looking.
Do you mean the yellow round stick in the front of the vehicle seat? If so, select the vehicle seat, scroll down (in the properties tab) to “surface inputs”, and set “Front” to “Hinge”
Ohh sorry haha! Wrong post. I was talking about a ray in raycasting. It’s where you have detection in a direction you point it to for however long you set it to. Then when it detect’s something hitting the invisible ray, it will do whatever you tell it to. In this case I’m trying to make it move when it finds something in it’s way.
I still can’t seem to find where the motor is, with it’s speed property. Is there a name to them or somewhere I could find the motor? I’m not sure I want to create my own vehicle. Thanks.
