I have a problem with the "realistic car script". I tried to build a simple, six-prim car just to check how does it work, but it simply doesn't. I have a plank for a "root prim" with base script attached, four cylinders for wheels - two front, two rear and a box for a seat, all scripted and ready to go. Then I link the whole stuff and...
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. That piece of junk stands motionless and doesn't even have a "Release Controls" button. Where did I go wrong?

is the script in the root prim and running? (the running check box checked)
I have doh moments all the time when I'm troubleshooting just to find that one of the scripts isn't even running, takes me like 20 min to find too as my brain refuses to realize that the check box even EXISTS  |

In the root prim... What checkbox?! Jeeeesus, what a mess... Graagh. Root prim is the last linked prim of everything that is linked, which should be your driving seat.. So.. Is the last object you linked (by shift clicking all the others first, then the one you want to be root prim), is it your drivers seat.. If so does your drivers seat have the script in it.. If so, is the script running (using the "running" checkbox when you open the script by double clicking it)..  _____________________

Just re read and got what you were asking.. The running check box is inside the script when you open it, on the script window.. Make sure its checked or the script'll be in active..

also . . . if that all checks out . . . make sure you are under 31? prims. The built in vehicle stuff doesn't work with a too-many-prim object.

I don't remember off hand, but does the script actually set the object as physical? I remember a few of the freebie ones didn't do so.
you may want to manually set the object as physical in the object edit pane, and see if it works then. |

No, no and no. "Running" box was checked. Vehicle was physical. Still nothing.
Bugged or what? _____________________

how is the root prim oriented?
that script assumes that the positive X axis of the root prim should be pointing towards the front of the "car" |

No, I was not sitting on it, the X axis points toward the front (if it wasn't, the car'd roll to one of the sides or run backwards, I know that from building my Jetbike).

ok after re-reading, if it doesn't even have the release controls button then either a.) it isn't running (check by adding a llOwnerSay in the state_entry) or b.) you typo'd or left out where it asks permission for or takes controls. Again llOwnerSay's will save the day if you pepper the script with it.
also you might want to make the seat the root prim, not sure if that makes a difference. (I'm not a vehicle coder by any means, just trying to help) |
