Suspension Tutorial - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=F12Bwth;17559828]All wheels do. Except the old PHX metal large ones. Tripple the elastic with full settings. 2000 weight vehicle min.. 6000 max[/QUOTE] Full settings? usually they're way above the regular settings with dampening / relative dampening... I tried putting way more elastics on it but nah- I started making an oval racer like in Nascar, but the body is almost between the wheels so.. got to re-do it, make it taller.

[img]http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/capnmorgan2007/NASCAR.png[/img] Secondly, you could build the physical for the suspension as big as you need.. Make the props invisible and set the elastic width to 0.. Its a cheat but sometimes it can't be avoided. Also The elastic settings SHOULD be well above the standard dampning. I like 40000C , 2000D, 1000RD.

I already fixed it and junk, I don't need any more durr hurr about elastic strength. XD I parented different body pieces to a bunch of plates covering the edges of the frame and force welded them to it- If you smash into something depending on the location, parts fly off =P It's nawyc for crashes. Someone just needs to make a banked oval track so we can have an awesome race instead of flat ground shit

I mean it's not just the fucking cars either. The only pics you provided were of cars crashing. Therefor the only time nascar is entertaining is when the drivers fail at driving round an oval track. That just seams like, "well the cars don't really work, cause they can't handle the simplest task. And the drivers are rednecks that can't really drive either..." I'd watch formula 1, WRC or even fucking gokart before I'd sit down and chew threw a nascar race. Suspensions

Here.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0bGFKhNFfY[/media] I would like to quote... "KANGAROO IN THE RADIATOR" I dont care how many years you watch nascar.. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!

[QUOTE=woodchuck34;17588887]im from america too, and nascar sucks balls most boring thing ever much rather watch euro touring car racing or something like that[/QUOTE] "like in nascar".... I'll try not to pick such an offensive topic again. Nascar does suck, I just look at the wrecks- WRC is way more awesome, but rally cars= meh. Performance is great, but no special looking thing in gmod- when all cars are pretty much made best as possible anyway. I agree, Nascar is way too much redneck, and not enough customized demolition derby armored racecars smashing the crap out of each other while racing. But a flat gmod racetrack IS kinda boring.. A banked racetrack would be great in multiplayer- Is that even possible to make a map with a smooth bank like that? [editline]09:11PM[/editline] We can even have kangaroos run across the track if you really want Maybe a polar bear or two

[/QUOTE] that'd probably take me about 2 minutes to knock up in hammer. But I wont cause that would be a waste of 2 minutes. I'm making some gay onslaught map atm so I can't be arsed to make some racing map. I'll make a low friction rally course when I'm done with this map though. Also, whatever this thread was about, its awesome, make other material, cccccc

[QUOTE=steeleo;17683907]i dont have those ball socket adv things at bar it only says default...[/QUOTE] You have to press ALT + F4 to get the rest

[QUOTE=AirbusA340;17690405]You have to press ALT + F4 to get the rest[/QUOTE] And if that works hold the power button on your computer for a couple of seconds. On-topic: I use this suspension all the time now :D It's really awesome and simple to make

Ah ya, thanks for this tutorial! I made sure to include your Ballsocket technique in my suspension tutorial as well. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTnqzUG1vp0&feature=player_profilepage[/url]

Not bad, but it annoys me the way you pronounce your "S"'s though. I don't know why.
