Moving a car

I want to make a car move, like someone is driving it. I already converted a car custom model into an entity, but I wanted to know what is the right script to move it foward. Can someone help me?

RE: Moving a car

Make the tires actually spinnable and use physics with prop force. Or just make the entity Movable object and use
SetMoveObjectState

But yeah I have no idea actually if they work properly, test around.

Haha ok im'na try

EDIT: I made 107 desactivated copies of the car so, now i can use the "setentityactive"...
It's gonna take a while. Starting now from car_1...

O.o You crazy?? How many polygons does the car have? And is it a static object? did you give it mass? You only need one! and a few recurring "AddPropForce" functions...

I gave up... 'cause it was the car model of white night, but as an entity...

RE: Moving a car

That car was a static object and I only used it in two places to give the feeling David was just got there. Seems like only a few people noticed it, but it was not meant to be used as an entity since it's a broken car. You'll need a better model for that.

RE: Moving a car

The main question is;
Will the player touch/be in/get driven over by the car?

If not animation will provide the most natural looking movement.

Smart man... That wouldn't be hard AT ALL and just need a distance and perfectly matched "MovePlayerHeadPos" and that could be a very unique trick =]

RE: Moving a car

I know it's a broken car, but I have like, no modeling skills AT ALL. The only thing I know how to do in 3d modeling softwares is a cube.
And I didn't know how to make the car move, since the wheels are not round.
