Ok I've pretty much fixed the error I was having. It was being caused by an odd _content.uc for the vehicle. I was referencing the Scorpion throughout my other .uc files, but the _content.uc was for a different vehicle (which worked for my test bike- but didnt for this version). Fixed it by using a fresh file from the ScriptSource1.5

So now I've got a bike that is pretty much ok. I was having a problem with the wheels (obviously it has front and back wheels, but it also have left and right wheels acting as stabilisers)- it meant the bike couldnt turn properly but I realised that I was referencing the right wheel as "RF_Wheel" so it could turn and the left wheel as "RR_Wheel" so it was powered.

I've fixed it now so that the front and back wheels are turning (and the back wheel has 0 SteerFactor, so it doesnt visually turn), and the side wheels are powered so the bike moves, but obviously this isnt perfect and the bike doesnt have a good turning circle.

Does anybody know how to make "neutral" wheels (that I can say whether they are powered or not)??- as having to name them RR/LR/RF/LF Wheel isnt ideal. For example if I wanted a 6 wheeled vehicle, how would you make the middle wheels?

Any help appreciated.

Hope this is ok, posted this on my thread but thought Id update my "problem" thread as well

Basically I've created a vehicle and its got several Mat Ids, I'm getting it all sorted fine but I'm creating different materials for each mat id (one translucent shader for glass, one for chrome, one main diffuse and one for computer screens) and I've thought that in the code the way it references the difference between red and blue team colours is through the material instance;

TeamMaterials[0]=MaterialInstanceConstant'VH_Scorpion.Materials.MI _VH_Scorpion_Red'
TeamMaterials[1]=MaterialInstanceConstant'VH_Scorpion.Materials.MI _VH_Scorpion_Blue'

So obviously its only referencing one material for each colour.

To better explain heres my skeletal mesh (ignore the actual texture/etc- wip!);

And that has 4 different shaders applied to it;

Red Glass

Red Chrome

Is there a way that I can tell the material editor to only apply a certain material to a certain material id? Could I set up a MIC that references the shaders I've already created, and applies them only to set mat ids?

Obviously it all works fine as is in the editor, but if I swap to the blue material, and its still got with red glass/chrome materials, its going to look a bit odd.

I don't mind remaking any of the shaders I've already set up or anything like that, I'm just wondering if theres a way to only apply materials to set mat ids.

Any help appreciated.
