Standard Vehicle Configuration

The JU TPS vehicle class has a base to create any grounded vehicle, you can use the default or create custom vehicles using the base API.

Standard First Step:

Place the model in the scene > Unpack the prefab > Add colliders, a rigidbody and set vehicle to layer as Vehicle[8]

Standard Vehicle Locomotion Settings

All vehicles have some default properties, like it:

Vehicles already have properties like Engine, Drive Pad and steering control. The base system hasn't wheels because this needs a different implementation by vehicle type (cars and motorcycles for example, let's see it after).

Okay, let's explain some base vehicle properties.

Base vehicle settings.

Base Properties	Description
Use Default Inputs	If enabled, the vehicle can be controlled by the player using the standard input settings.
Character Exiting Position	Used by the character to exit the vehicle (if is inside the vehicle). Is the local position where the character will be positioned when he stops driving.

Engine contains all vehicle accelerating properties.

Engine	Description
Max Forward Speed	Max speed to move to forward.
Max Rear Speed	Max speed to move to backward.
Torque Force	Vehicle acceleration force
Brake Force	Brake force
Acceleration Curve	Represents the engine acceleration force by speed, recommended always set the start as 1 and the end as 0, this makes the vehicle have all acceleration force if is on low speed and very small acceleration if on high speeds, acting as speed limiter too.
Center of Mass	Center of Mass of vehicle, recommended set it to a low value (0, 0, 0) as example, represented as a local position inside the vehicle, it's can help on the stability depending the configuration.

Stores driver control sensitivity.

Drive Pad Smooth	Description
Rise Rate Throttle	Speed to accelerate the vehicle.
Fall Rate Throttle	Speed to decelerate the vehicle.
Rise Rate Steer	Speed to turn the wheel to some direction.
Fall Rate Steer	Speed to reset wheel rotation when not steering.
Rise Rate Brake	Speed to brake.
Fall Rate Brake	Speed to reset brake.

Anti-Overturn Checker Parameters

Some vehicles may have a rollover checker, which returns the car to its original rotation.
