Hello I was interested in your script. Would it b possible to maintain a wheelie on a motorcycle with your script? I'm looking for functionality like thin this example : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dakinagames.wheelielegend
Thanks,
Ray

 

Hello rayflig,
The script has an option to allow wheelies and you can maintain it, by default it is enable.
You can play the demo to test some functionalities like the suspension and the wheelies. With this asset in Unity you can replace the car sprite in the demo with your motorcycle sprite or follow the tutorial of the asset and customize speed, spring and more options.
Thanks for your comment and Regards.

 

Hello.
Does it support manual transmission?

 

Hello,
for the moment the script does not support manual transmission but we will consider it on the next update. If you have another question feel free to ask.
Regards!

 

Thank you for the answer. What is the release date for that update?
I develop simple casual 2d car racing game and your asset seems to be a good choice for that kind of game but I definitely need manual transmission.

 

The next update was estimated to october 18, but it could change depending on the Unity review of the asset and if it is approved.
I want to know if you need a manual transmission where the user has to change the transmission by some input or the transmission is changing automatic by the script.

 

By input (button or gesture for instance).

 

Ok, you can stay in contact for more information. I will inform you if the next update will include the manual transmission as soon as possible.

 

Thanks!

 

Manual transmission is now supported.

 

Hi! Your asset is GREAT!
I have some questions for you :

1. How can I make the wheels to rotate even when the car is turned upside down to the grounds?
2. Is it possible to control one wheel for going forward(gas) and one wheel for going backward(brake)?
3. How about the smoke effect or dirt effects when we drive the car?

Thanks you for your great asset!

 

Hello and thank you for your support!

I will try to answer your questions as best as possible.

1. In the script when you dont touch the ground it disable the gas control to prevent accelerate the vehicle because it works with rigidbody2d aceleration.
You could modifiy the script and use the motor speed option of your Wheel Joint 2D instead acceleration and comment isGrounded() on the update method.
However it could be a little difficult.

2. I dont know if I understand this well but here is my answer
You could duplicate the SimpleControlVehicle script (you can rename it to SimpleControlBackward) and change on the AccelerateVehicle() the input control (horizontal) to your new controls, and invert all the if conditions. e.g.

if(rigidbody2D.velocity.x >= maxSpeed) will be if(rigidbody2D.velocity.x <= maxSpeed)

In your vehicle GameObject add the original script and the new script. Set to 1 the size wheel option and drag and drop your wheel for the corresponding script. In the SimpleControlBackward set your acceleration, maxSpeed, brakeForce and reverseMaxSpeed to a negtive value.

3. The script doesn't support a smoke or dirt effect for the moment (sounds tentative for the next update) but you could add a particle system to the car.

Regards,
Steven.

 

Thank for your reply!
I am playing with your asset, and it's working wonderfully!
I will try your suggestions soon.

Anyway, if you could implement the dirt effect in the future update, your asset will be more awesome! (it's already awesome )

I will post more questions for you if I meet problems!

Best regards,

 

I'm very glad that the asset is working for you!

Probably we will consider the dirt effect in the next update.

Let me know if you have any other question.

Thanks.

 

Can the accelerometer be used to control the vehicle's forward/back tilt?

 

Yes, the asset comes with an scene example for mobile, you just have to check the accelerometer option on the mobile script.

 

Will this be updated to work with Unity 5? Right now nothing in the examples even work correctly.

Thanks.

 

Yes, the asset will be updated as soon as possible. The changes of Unity 5 force us to modify the asset in some things, but this will be corrected .

Thanks and Regards.
Steven.

 

Unity 5 is now supported!

 

Great, thank you, I was hoping it would not die in the U5 release .

 

We are still alive

 

Hello!

I buy your script and I implement in my android car, but I have a problem, the sensibility of "ratation buttons" (U_Arrow and D_Arrow) it´s to much, when I press the button in my android platform the car turns too quickly, how can I change this?

PS: Good work

 

Done, thank you, very easy code )

 

You're so fast!

I would like to document a possible fix to this. We can increase or decrease the frontForce and backForce in the SimpleControlVehicle script, these properties are in charge of apply rotation force in the vehicle.

Thank you for the support!

 

hi, yesterday i buy the script but when i try to implement or use the demo scene the car dont move, i see manual and video and all its good, what can be?

 

Hi Bakiet,

What platform are you using for the demo? (Pc, Android, etc)

Thanks and regards!
