have you tried a mechanic?
seriously though, your root prim needs to be rotated so you don't move the wrong direction, and your seat should have a sit target so you can't face the wrong way. as for spinning wheels, you will probably want to use texture animation, or target omega with those. vehicle scripts tend to be complex, and are not generally the sort you can just make an object, drop it in and have everything be perfect. _____________________

When starting with vehicles, you will save yourself a lot of aggravation by starting with a standard .5x.5x.5 cube and building the vehicle with is as the root prim, and the front of the vehicle being towards the East.
If you haven't seen it, http://www.heatonresearch.com/articles/188/page2.html is a great tutorial on a basic car that should help get you on your way. |
