Car Question

Its somet$$anonymous$$ng i've battle with a lot!

To begin with you have to really play around with the wheel collider settings to find the balance primarily on the driving sensation you want and also with the mass & scale of the ve$$anonymous$$cle.

in order to make the adjustments faster i had made a script where you can add all the wheels collider and adjust the setting with sliders. with a Debug toggle that will stop adjusting the setting on every frame. (ive put the code at End).

Now other tricks you can do to reduce flipping are:

• Reduce the center of mass in the rigidbody EX: myRigid.centerOfMass = new Vector3 (myRigid.centerOfMass.x, centerOfMass, myRigid.centerOfMass.z);

• Depending on the velocity of the car start applying some vertical force to the rigidbody that will push it to the ground EX:`myRigid.AddForce (new Vector3 (0, -pushDownForce, 0));`

• Lastly w$$anonymous$$le researc$$anonymous$$ng t$$anonymous$$s at a tutorials i have found a little JS script that basically works as an antiroll bar that was quite usefull. i dont remember who wrote it... i hope its ok that i am passing the code like that!-) Antiroll_Bar.js:

      var WheelL : WheelCollider;
       var WheelR : WheelCollider;
       var AntiRoll = 5000.0;
       
       function FixedUpdate ()
           {
           var $$anonymous$$t : WheelHit;
           var travelL = 1.0;
           var travelR = 1.0;
       
           var groundedL = WheelL.GetGroundHit($$anonymous$$t);
           if (groundedL)
               travelL = (-WheelL.transform.InverseTransformPoint($$anonymous$$t.point).y - WheelL.radius) / WheelL.suspensionDistance;
       
           var groundedR = WheelR.GetGroundHit($$anonymous$$t);
           if (groundedR)
               travelR = (-WheelR.transform.InverseTransformPoint($$anonymous$$t.point).y - WheelR.radius) / WheelR.suspensionDistance;
       
           var antiRollForce = (travelL - travelR) * AntiRoll;
       
           if (groundedL)
               rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(WheelL.transform.up * -antiRollForce,
                      WheelL.transform.position);    
           if (groundedR)
               rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(WheelR.transform.up * antiRollForce,
                      WheelR.transform.position);    
           }
