Help With making the CFG for a wheel, not a rover wheel

[Jakey4159]

Greetings,

for last few days i have been trying to finish an add-on kit but im stuck at the part of making wheels, heres what i have so far, i think there could be a syntax error might have forgoten symbols such has {

name = Kings_Wheel

module = Part

author = Jakey4159

mesh = model.mu

rescaleFactor = 0.50

node_stack_side = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

cost = 60

category = Utility

subcategory = 0

title = Kings Wheel

manufacturer = Kings Space Program

description =

attachRules = 1,1,1,1,1

mass = 0.075

dragModelType = default

maximum_drag = 0.0

minimum_drag = 0.0

angularDrag = 1

crashTolerance = 300

maxTemp = 600

fuelCrossFeed = True

crashTolerance = 100

breakingForce = 70

breakingTorque = 70

}

MODULE

{

name = King_Wheel

hasMotor = true

resourceName = LiquidFuel

resourceConsumptionRate = 0.01

canSteer = true

controlAxisType = Forward

steeringModeType = AutomaticSteer

brakeTorque = 300

brakeSpeed = 1.2

impactTolerance = 300

overSpeedDamage = 99999

WHEEL

{

wheelName = wheel

wheelColliderName = node_collider

suspensionTransformName = suspensionTraverse

suspensionNeutralPointName = suspensionNeutralPoint

damagedObjectName =

rotateX = 0

rotateY = 1

rotateZ = 0

}

steeringCurve

{

key = 0 16

key = 10 9

key = 30 2

}

torqueCurve

{

key = 0 250 0 0

key = 20 100 0

key = 30 14 0 0

key = 34 0 0 0

}

}

MODULE

{

name = ModuleAlternator

RESOURCE

{

name = ElectricCharge

rate = 0.125

}

}

RESOURCE

{

name = LiquidFuel

amount = 0

maxAmount = 0

}

MODULE

{

name = FXModuleConstrainPosition

matchRotation = true

matchPosition = false

CONSTRAINFX

{

targetName = steering

moversName = trackSteering

}

}

This is the Wheel i made and the rest of the project has a motivation with blender.

Thank for the help.

Have you got your suspension and wheel objects set up in Unity?

[EndlessWaves]

MODULE

{

name = King_Wheel

...

}

There's no such module in the stock game, as you're using identical parameters to ModuleWheel I'm guessing you're not using a custom plugin and that needs changing back to ModuleWheel.

I'd also recommend not using node_collider for your wheelCollider or indeed anything else as it was used by the old system. It won't cause any problems with the stock game, but may cause confusion or issues with other plugins.

Finally, giving us a description of what's going wrong is usually helpful for tracking down the problem.

A ) How i make the suspension in Unity set up a Wheel object in Unity too My wheels dont steer too

C) Do i have to make a an object with the name (wheelCollider) Im good at making models but im new to KSP mod making :/ This is my fisrt one, its in multiple pieces, Light bar, Armored grill, theres also 2 hatches, 1 main to enter and exit and an other one to enter only.

Im planning on making a bus and a few other vehicules, a train too, and if possible, a big ship halo style

Space Port is broken ???

Thank for the help

A) You don't. The physics behaviour is built into the WheelCollider (height, spring and damping are adjustable parameters) and the rods, hinges and everything else are specified in the config through modules like FXModuleLookAtConstraint. One thing you should know is that you want to export your model from the unity editor with the suspension in the fully compressed position.

You just add the WheelCollider like any other component, see the image in the sticky as to what ModuleWheel specifically uses.

C) No, you specify the names in the config file.

Space Port is broken ???

Look at the announcements forum.

YAY THANK 0.20 You crapped my car, i putted it in the gamedata folder and its not there anymore :`( took me a while to make it.

Have you created a new config file in the 0.20 style?

[Jakey4159]

Theres a new file style ??? How can you do that with what i have up there ?

[EndlessWaves]

You need to wrap the whole thing in a Part{ } node rather than calling it part.cfg:

PART

{

Entire old config file goes here

}

i did what suggested and my car collision box is not working and nodes are all screwed up They werent screwed up before.

Any idea why ?

Heres the new CFG of my car frame

ok my parts show up but the collision box of my main chassis is not working anymore, 2 my wheels dont roll or steer at all,

You just add the WheelCollider like any other component, see the image in the sticky as to what ModuleWheel specifically uses.

How do i do that And that

Have you got your suspension and wheel objects set up in Unity?

[Jakey4159]

My wheels still dont roll or steer il give a link bellow with the unity project folder and all other things conserning the wheels. AND PLEASE DONT CLAIM MY WORK ! I Will use this has an exemple for my future projects.

Thanks for the help

nodes are all screwed up They werent screwed up before.

0.20 changed the default scale, you can move you nodes to the new scale or go back to the old one by adding scale = 1 in your config file.

I had a quick look at your unity project. All you've got there is a wheel shaped static part, you're missing all of the objects you've reference in your config file, and your 'node collider' object is a mesh collider, not a wheel collider.

.

Use the GameObject > CreateEmpty menu option to create the objects you're missing. You want at least the three you mention in the config file and a bounds collider.

[Jakey4159]

Thanks a lot il look at these i found Wheel collider component

Il post here if i need further help

[Jakey4159]

This helps me a lot but im still a bit confused with modling the different suspension parts and Scripting them in Unity i see the different components but i still have no iidea how to (Program) Them

[Jakey4159]

the layer 27 thing has been easly done. Could i get that exemple file Please ?
