Well i created a custom wheel with blender its a little arrow you can use for a clock.

Now i create the wheel with the model editor i can load it and use it in the game but it shows only the handsymbol but i wont turn in any direction.

i created a shape and then a body and set the body to the model ... set the settings to wheel and then created a joint_hinge !

Now the problem it wont work ...
The joint_hinge , has it to be inside the green box oder outside , and whats about the parent and child thing ?

When you say you set it to wheel, you set the type to wheel under user variables right?

Only attach Body_1 as a child to the joint and leave the parent for the joint empty.

ok i will try this out !!

Update 1:

Well doenst work too .... now step by step

1. I load the .dae file.
2. create a shape and resize it to the model and create a body with the shape.
3. I connect the shape to my model by going to outline.
4. i change the user defined variables to "wheel"
5. I create a joint_hinge and attack it as a child to the body .
6. I save it , load it in my map and load the custom story but wheel wont work ...

what i am doing wrong ?

Update 2:

now its working .... i forget to set anything in the body category like " mass " "Angular dumping" . Now searching for the right field which was the problem .... I think it was the "mass" field cause it was set to "0"
