Hi,

Sorry for the basic doubt,

I was trying to simulate drifts in Raycast vehicle? Should i need to add custom code for controlling the wheel friction other than vehicle tuning parameters?

Thanks

I tried a few things on this topic. Best working for me is a combination of setting the friction slip near or equal to zero when the car reaches a defined angel velocity or the skidfactor of the wheels go below 1.
There is a good way for faking it, you can give the rearwheels some steerin then the car looks like drifting while driving a little bit sideways through the turns…

it tooks quite a bit time to find good results. would be nice to directly go to the car behaviour, but then you have to take a different physics engine like jiglib flash.

also you can apply some torque or forces to the rear axle but that didn`t worked good for me.

btw it’s good to set linear and angulardamping to zero, ihave overseen this for a while and then it’s quite harder to go to drift.

Thanks for your valuable answers, I’ve tried your first option, it gives best results.

I’ve one more doubt, is it possible to find out the colliding object with raycast vehicle’s wheel? I need to find out whether the vehicle is in air.

It would be nice if the isInContact function would be working. I have added an additional ray to check the actual ground the car is on.
To look if it’s flying you can look at the distance to the ground or even simpler if there is no collision it’s in the air..

Thanks macaan, additional ray works, but isInContact always showing false even when the vehicle is on ground.[carBody.getWheelInfo(0).raycastInfo.isInContact]
