Overview

In Sceneri, vehicle components are fundamental for constructing dynamic, interactive vehicles in 3D environments. Each component is designed to simulate real-world physics and vehicle mechanics, enabling developers to create immersive experiences with realistic handling and control. This guide covers the core vehicle components—Axle, Engine, Wheel, and Vehicle Framework—explaining their purpose, usage, and configuration.

Description

  • Axle

    Simulates the rotation and stability of wheels, connecting them to the vehicle’s body and enabling realistic movement, suspension, and steering dynamics.

  • Engine

    Simulates a vehicle’s engine, controlling power output, acceleration, and speed, while integrating with other systems like fuel, transmission, and sound for realistic vehicle behavior.

  • Vehicle

    Provides the core framework for creating drivable vehicles, integrating systems like engine, wheels, suspension, and controls for realistic handling and movement.

  • Wheel

    Simulates tire behavior, including rotation, friction, and traction, allowing for realistic movement, steering, and interaction with various surfaces.

Integrating Vehicle Components in Sceneri

To create a fully functional vehicle in Sceneri, you’ll need to integrate each of these components within a Vehicle component. Here’s a quick setup guide:

  1. Attach Wheels to Axles: Set up wheels and connect them to the Axle components to control rotation and stability.
  2. Configure Engine Output: Link the Engine to the Vehicle Framework to control power delivery.
  3. Add the Vehicle Component: Bring together all parts within the Vehicle component, adjusting settings for handling, speed, and control mapping.

Best Practices

  • Balance Mass and Traction: Ensure mass distribution and traction coefficients are adjusted for realistic handling.
  • Tune Suspension Carefully: A well-tuned suspension adds stability and improves the user experience, especially on uneven surfaces.
  • Optimize Engine and Axle Configuration: Test various engine power outputs and axle stability settings to find a balance between speed and control.

Conclusion

These vehicle components provide Sceneri developers with a powerful toolkit to build engaging and realistic vehicles. With proper configuration and a bit of tuning, you can bring lifelike driving dynamics to your game world.
