    Help Needed For Free Roam Quad

    Hey!

    I had the idea of trying to create a free roam quad bike in trials not skill game.. Is this possible?

    I know how to make the rider look like his driving a quad bike its just the whole free roam bit that is confusing me. I'm currently building a plane free roam skill game which hasn't been no problems.

    If it is possible could someone maybe explain? or would there be a video i can take a look at?

    Thanks Hazard!

    Hi,

    If we assume to make the rider look as though he's driving a quad, you are making the bike invisible and then either using physics point-to-point joints or OPEs on other objects to make a quad bike around the rider, then no it's not possible to free roam.

    The problem is the bike and rider have to stay on the driving line to function properly, so you can't free roam like that.

    If however, you are removing the rider from the bike and joining him to a quad that has its own set of controls then yes it is possible, but you might find it's more trouble than its worth. Removing the rider from the bike comes with a whole new set of problems.

    If you're really set on making a free roam quad game, I think your best bet is to either create a makeshift driver from editor objects or come up with a different vehicle where the driver isn't visible.

    Hope that helps, maybe someone else has a better idea though...

    Thanks for the reply bro,

    im going to have a play around because i have wanted to do it for some while.

    I could maybe create a driver in a humor way instead of completely failing with detail lol. Maybe now i can use the pumpkin head?

    If i get anywhere then i will reply back and post it up for people to test.

    Aaaactually.... If you've ever looked at my post on dislodging the bike from the driving line then it is possible. However once the rider leaves the bike I don't think it's possible to still use the Bike Speed values because it's registered as 'dead' like the rider. You can stick the rider to the bike by attaching Physical Joints to his hands, feet and waist. If you want to use the rider on a separate quad then just use the bike as a template and join his limbs to the quad instead.

    Also you gotta make the rider 'unconscious' to prevent him from screaming and fidgeting about XD

    They arn't my vids, but I have done a flowchart tutorial on making a drivable vehicle, here's the full index:

    Index of tutorials

    At the bottom of the sheet are some youtube vids made by "tothfps" who does some good youtube tutorials, two of which are for making a car. Let me know if you need any more help.
