Week 9 day 1

After spending half a day tweaking the wheels, I looked at the unreal vehicles and discovered that, their wheels have no collision with the ground at all. I discovered the wheels have no collision box. After I raised the collision to exclude the wheels, the vehicle is climbing perfectly. So I quickly moved on to the next vehicle and that vehicle can be taken from another vehicle's codes. So the 3rd vehicle is done quickly.

Week 8 day 5

Finally made the bike moved slightly properly. However, I'm back to the classic problem, climbing ledges. When the bike's ultra small wheels hit a small ledge, it stops. It cannot climb unless I severely pushed it. Something is wrong.

Week 8 day 4

Now i started working on the bike. Since the hovertank is hovering and the bike is driving on the wheels, there is a difference in the codes, all the terms and stuff. But I didn't expect it would be so drastically different, I had to figure out most of the things again. So still working on it.

week 8 day 3

ok finalised my vehicle. its quite hard to climb ledges, because i need to maintain my vehicle balance like an hovercraft, yet it needs to climb ledges, i added a function to enable my vehicle to float up, hoping this compromise will fix things, but once it floats up it cannot come down, so i decided to remove it. so in the end, make the vehicle just fine enough, yet it still can't climb ledges effectively.

i also made the vehicle disable it's movement when it's falling down, since it's weird u can move in midair.

so tomorrow will work on the bike or something.

week 8 day 2

after half a day of trying around, was about to change the hovertank to a helicopter to fake it, i suddenly found something that makes it not flip anymore! so now the thing is moving quite okay, but still the specs is quite weird, so finetuning it.

week 8 day 1

tried with a few more simulations, the vehicle still flips over, add wheels or whatever, its very complicated, still figuring out
