How to make a car bank on a banked turn on a race track

[Jim Obzina]

Hi all.

I am not a scripter. My knowledge goes up to changing a few parameters in scripts made by others.

I am desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to find what are the settings I have to look for to have a script for a car to have it banking on a banked turn, like on a oval nascar race track.

Of course, since I saw working scripts of that kind, I am simply looking in  the wrong places, not to mention that I am not sure about what I have to look for.

Can a merciful soul give me a direction, some suggestion?

Thanks a lot

Jim Obzina

SL Vehicles can bank and make a related turn.
One of the parameters for this is: VEHICLE_BANKING_EFFICIENCY

I don't think cars do bank much, they would follow the slope of the road, but it works well for boats and airplanes

The Linden Vehicle Tutorial is the most comprehensive tutorial on the subject

Play with the VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_TIMESCALE, VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_EFFICIENCY settings.

If the vertical attractor is to strong, it keeps the vehicle upright all the time, which prevents it from following the surface slope properly.

A million thanks for linking that tutorial!

A long time ago in a far off thread, "I'd love to go for a Sunday drive", I asked about the controls/adjustments in the Vehicle Huds (message 27) but never got an answer.

That tutorial has helped me to understand a lot.
