Possibly new suspension? - Garry's Mod

Finally with the completion of my complete of my final zscm engine (hydro engine mentioned previously in the forum) I went on to build something similar to a striker. I tried to take the idea of the abrams and striker tortion suspension and simulate it in gmod via ropes an axises with great success. If interested I'm up to sharing, I don't know if its been made yet, but if not hurray. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmaNYJYctdE[/media]

It's [media*]youtubelink[/media*]. Without the stars. [editline]21st May 2011[/editline] And btw tortionbars such as what's presented in your video has been done before.

Torsion bar suspension :buddy: I remember when I discovered it while welding doors and wheels together as a noob. So yeah no this is not a new method :|

Ok thanks for the heads up. Meh at least it works nice with my max weight vehicles.

[QUOTE=BadZzch;29970120]Ok thanks for the heads up. Meh at least it works nice with my max weight vehicles.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it does. After all, it's used for heavy vehicles.

I'm a noob... Tutorial please?? :saddowns:

Done before, I think it was often used on tanks. Yours works pretty smoothly tho.

We promote contraptions leaning against minimizing lag. A tortion bar suspension on evey wheel would simply increase lag. I am, as well as many others, satisfied with weight suspension.

as stated before, anything other than weight suspension isn't required on tanks unless your aiming system is total shit (no stabilization)

I use a suspension since I tend to go zippy-fast spot-to-spot, then hunker down and shoot hull-down.

Oh, and this is before "stabilizing" the seat with adv bs. Weight sus just feel weird. Like driving a brick.

That's how I read it.

Miles derp hour

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;30044812]How the fuck did you do that?? also what map is that?[/QUOTE] gm_vehicleconstructv2. The suspension's E2 I might post sometime later. It's using wire hydraulics and feedback loops.

[QUOTE=Pringles.;30046244]If only that thing had realistic tank steering :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Funny you mentioned that...I actually modded the drive chip recently (two days ago) to give it steering in proportion to velocity. So Shift, W, or W+Shift acts as essentially gears, with each "gear" having a set proportional steering speed, as well as a low-speed neutral steer. :science: A few months ago fallschirmjaager experimented with using wire clutches and a forcer motor for realistic steering...no idea how that went.

Not quite sure what you're trying to say but okay :smile:

Because seriously, you come off like a really sad excuse for a troll. :saddowns: [editline]26th May 2011[/editline] My new one's based off of a 3-speed trans w/ doublediff; the old one is based on feedback-type hydrostatic. Any realism to your steering?
