Vehicle Help

[Quantum Gaming]

Greetings,

I am fairly new to the unreal enviroment but not game development, I am trying to import my vehicle into unreal(four wheeled car). I have all of the assets imported(SkeletalMesh,PhysicsAsset,AnimTree...) but im not sure what to do next. In the documentation it just shows an example script file but im not sure what to do with it.

thanks for your help

check my tutorials for UT3, but make sure you use the code from UDK

Q.G.

[geodav]

ok when things go wrong check your launch.log

please in future when posting code use the code tags
eg click on the "Go Advance" button and hit the # icon

[Quantum Gaming]

sorry about the code i was in a rush, i checked out the launch.log and i saw i did not add any seats. but when i looked at the scorpion file it had a bunch of turret stuff in there. my vehicle has no weapons its for a racing game. so how would you add a seat without the gun?

is there a wheeled vehicle without a turret for a better template?

here is the whole file

not sure as i can't code to save my life :( but i'd make an "empty" turret/weapon code and use that, don't forget the camera is controlled via the seat code

[Quantum Gaming]

hmm, well i got it to show up in game and get in it, but it is standing on its front and i can only look around with a aimpoint. very strange.

here is the seat code

Seats(0)={( GunClass=class'UTVWeap_mclaren',
SeatIconPos=(X= 0.415,Y=0.5),
CameraTag=GunViewSocket,
CameraBaseOffset=(X=-50.0),
CameraOffset=-175,

)}

and here is the weapon code

*Edit

thinking about it how do you get the name for the skel control wheel? there is no place to name them in the ani_tree editor
i think that might be the problem

example of one of the wheels



/**

HideDropDown;

defaultproperties

}


im this seems to hard im probabily doing something simple wrong.:confused:

*edit

thinking about it how do you get the name for the skel_control_wheel? I didnt see any place to name them in the ani tree

example of one of my wheels



Begin Object Class=UTVehicleScorpionWheel Name=RRWheel
BoneName="cylinder04"
BoneOffset=(X=0.0,Y=20.0,Z=0.0)
SkelControlName="B_R_Tire_Cont"
End Object
Wheels(0)=RRWheel

i dont think this would matter but this is popping up when i build

"Warning: PATHING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT FOR mclaren_test.TheWorld:PersistentLevel"

[geodav]

ok before you export your vehicle make sure it points alond the x-axis and z-axis is up, this applies to the main bones as well

have a look at the scorpian for an example of the anim tree + names


"Warning: PATHING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT FOR mclaren_test.TheWorld:PersistentLevel"
when you add your vehicle factory to your map you must re-build all, just to be on the safe side ;)

[Quantum Gaming]

ok so i got the wheels spinning, but i cannot seen to get the car to not stand on its front.

In the editor it looks right, but when i play it it stands up.

The car is pointing down the x axis and up is the z axis every where except in the ani_set viewer.
It is pointing down the right ways, but if you click on one of the limbs from the list, the gizmo shows y down,x left, and z front.

although one of the wheels is correct, the rest of the limbs are as described. It is very strang, and all of the piviots for the object are correct to in 3ds max.

[geodav]

just been doing some wheeled vehicles myself (motorbike) and i then remembered the wheel class

Begin Object Class=UTVehicleScorpionWheel Name=RRWheel
BoneName="cylinder04"
BoneOffset=(X=0.0,Y=20.0,Z=0.0)
SkelControlName="B_R_Tire_Cont"
End Object
Wheels(0)=RRWheel

in your code your using the
Class=UTVehicleScorpionWheel
you need to make your own wheel class.
if you front wheels are a different size to the rear wheels then you'll need an extra class for them as well

[Quantum Gaming]

hmm, i will change that but that wont solve my problem with it standing on its front end:p

would you need some files to see whats wrong?

b.t.w. thanks for the help so far:cool:

[geodav]

go on then i'll need the content package plus the code package, just upload them somewhere and pm me the link and i'll have a look

[geodav]

ok just checked your content
1st. "Never" place your code in the epic code folders
2nd. you haven't named the SkelControl in the animset
3rd. i think due to the fact your bone/mesh alignment is not correct, this effects the rest of the stuff eg physics asset/anims

once you get the content side sorted, the coding side will be easier

[sdinesh86]

hi good morning

Thanks a lot for this post and thread i was running behind doing the same thing and felt that i am the only one, and was facing lot of problems but o one was ready to answer my queries in my posts

i quite solved everything but 2 small issues out here

1 i have this same thing going on at to places so, the first issue is at my work place, when i try to play the game it just crashes at first time but in the second attempt it
works but the car doesnt show up

2. at my home the editor and game is just crashing and refusing to start if i place my vehicle factory

[geodav]

check your launch.log for errors

[sdinesh86]

checked my launch.log found errors and got it solved

now i see my car in the game but theres small issue that when the game starts the car falls on one side and other thing is that when i try to enter the vehicle it just rotates in air and again falls down,

sometimes it enters the car but then the same previous thing car rotates and the player is thrown out of the car

[Quantum Gaming]

the major issue i had is you need to make sure that all of your pivot points\center of axis are aligned properly and centered.

[sdinesh86]

i checked mine and found the orientation of the root bone to be different thats th reason i had this prob solved it

but can u help me with setting up a camera i put the same seat code that u did but i dont get the camera the way it should be the camera is at the distance from the car i tried all the options and it also doesnt follw the car if i leave the mouse and take a turn the camera stays at the same direction and the car turns

how do i solve this small issue

[sdinesh86]

with some reverse engineering i solved that issue also

hey Quantum Gaming what are u trying to do with that car thing, i hope we both are sailing in the same boat, we both can be very helpful to each other

[Quantum Gaming]

@sdinesh86
could you share what you did to fix the problem?
also email sent

[geodav]

sounds like a socket problem to me

[sdinesh86]

ya it was the socket problem i reverse engineered the scorpion and found he solution to it

geodav can u help me with a small prob how can i make the camera follow the car i dont want the mouse control on the camera like a racing game or i wanna restrict the pitch and yaw of the camera to a particular angle so that if want i can put some weapons too on it

[geodav]

never tried that, sounds like you need something like mouse steering which is set via some of the default properties, i never got it to work in UT3 but you never know.

[sdinesh86]

no its not mouse steering the simple answer for it is i wanna make a racing game with keyboard as the controller
