iRDS - Intelligent Race Driver System Available on Asset Store

I just did a quick test and does not seem to be happening with the settings that i have, can you pls share the settings you are using for the tires coefficients and grip?

 

This is part of the settings, I didn't alter any of the pacejka coefficients, so they are pretty much the one you setted

 

I tested it and got the results you mentioned, I'm checking to see what could be done, since that is a difference in how the calculations are made for the forces the tire actually produce, may not be able to fix the issue without losing some of the advantages you have sensed already by using the arcade option

EDIT: I found a way and seems to keep the features the Arcade option are meant to have (sticky tires) so would be uploading this in the next couple of days, or join the Discord server so we could check if this would work for you

 

As always, you are amazing!
Will join your discord later today Your solution comes in just in time for publication

 

I'm just checking in to see if this ever made it into the latest build?

I've attempted to use the NWH2 script provided by @fredastaire but I'm getting IRDS.AI and IRDS.Game can't be found in the namespace. I'm a beginner at this so I'm not sure if it's because I'm on the .dll version or other changes need to be made.

I'm running iRDS Version 3.2.6.1.f.2 - December 22, 2021 // Unity 2021.3.1f1

 

Hi @iamelixir , this error is because he is using the Pro version which uses namespaces, so you just need to remove those using that are not found.

 

Great! Got it working by simply removing those using refs. Thank you @rhodnius for the quick support and to @fredastaire for providing the script. I'm glad it was a simple fix, cheers

 

Hi @rhodnius, I want to use this pack for grand prix manager game. Does your package support time skip feature which user can skip for result and replay if he want. Thank you

 

Hi @hnim the system comes with a replay feature, but this records the race (run at normal speed) and after it is finished you can replay it and move back and forward, but not before the race took place, so to answer your question it does not have a skip time feature and it does have a replay feature.

 

Hi @rhodnius, thank you. Do you have any suggest to implement that feature with your system? thank you

 

Thats a bit complex i think, since would require been able to predict what would happen ahead of time, which is opposite to what physics in unity are (they are not deterministic) so this sounds like you may need to implement something completely different to do something like that, or fake it all the way, because even using the time scale would yield really weird results, but you may have a try with that but pretty sure wont give the results you are looking for, if only a little bit of fast forward is needed, maybe increasing the time scale could be the answer, but if this is for mobile, that would also means the FPS would be dropping almost exponentially with the increase of the time scale, so it really depends at the end on what exactly you are wanting to do

 

Thank @rhodnius, timeScale is not reliable. I suppose to use Physics.Simulate and manual update, but look like I need pro version

"Must read this for upgrading from V2.1.0.6.d "
What's "this"? Link goes nowhere.
Is it important?

 

thats for users with super old version to be able to update to the latest version , if you are a new user, you shouldn't use that at all

 

This issue seems to happen to many people (including me). I have copied the settings in a brand new project. But the issue remains.

 

This is related to not importing iRDS project settings that is causing the problem, try importing it to an empty project with all included project settings into it

 

@rhodnius Hi, dunno if ur still replying to messages but I got a problem and I would love it if you could help me. For my project, I'm using both the Realistic Car Controller V3 (RCC) and your IRDS. All the cars that I have had the RCC driving physics before I imported IRDS so I learned how to integrate the cars with IRDS. However, when I tested them in the demo scene, before the countdown, the car was using the RCC input, but then switched to IRDS input after the countdown and I could not get it to run.

I recorded this video to show you the problem that I have:

Thank you

 

Heyy @NGUYENTRAN197 sure I reply here, just that we have more activity on our discord channel, you can use the link on my signature on this reply to get there. About your question, the IRDS script used to interface with RCC is meant to use iRDS inputs, you can change that behavior on that interface script, if you have further questions just let me know.

 

can you tell me how to change that behavior on the script, from using IRDS inputs to RCC inputs? cuz I only need to control the player's car with RCC but AIs with IRDS

 

Hi Everyone, I have imported the asset and created a game using RCC for the physics. I am facing the problem where everything in AI is working except the player input. It seems the player inputs work before the race during the countdown, but once the race starts, the player is not able to move and I believe it is on auto brake. The AI cars work and start to race ahead but I can not get my player car which is the same model to move at all. Please let me know if this is related to autobraking since this seems to affect some inputs like steering when I activate it in the game.

 

Hi @rhodnius , what API can I use to add waypoints by script?

 

This would need to change the code on the interface script for RCC, you need to check where in the code is validating if the race has started and make it not to disable the RCC input and on the other check (on awake or start) that validates if it is a player car, make it disable the car RCC input if it is an AI.

Are you using iRDS inputs? sounds like you are trying to use RCC input.

Currently is not possible to add waypoints at runtime

 

@rhodnius
1)I found a bug with the markers prefab. Mesh is missing.
2)Shift+Right Clicking to add waypoint doesnt work,nor does editor showing waypoint lines . Unity 2020.3.46f1
IRDS (Source)Version-3.2.6.1.f.2 (Current) - released on December 06, 2022

 

Have you tried to reimport the package?

 

Yes I tried reimporting the asset.I fixed the issues by adding a cube mesh to the missing one in the prefab

 

@rhodnius will you be adding feature that automatically create apex track from centerpoint point container with offset or existing race line?

 

not at the moment, but sounds interesting, but also not so simple to implement, as the shapes the track could have are pretty much infinite, so it would need to cover too many possible situations.

 

Hello,
I have a race environment which contains a jump, when i set the waypoints and line renderer, what i noticed is that line renderer points are in air shown and wondering how to hide them, also the AI car behaviour is trying to facing point next of the end of the jump which show as car collider with ground by its bumper

 

Hello, for the line render (the racing line show in play mode) you could try adjusting the actual markers that makes the racing lines and move them in a way that after the end of the ramp (jump) you put them into the bellow surface so they are not in the air. About the car facing the point next of the end of the jump, not sure what you mean, but if the car is hitting the ground with its bumper, then maybe the jump is to step, you would need to either modify the car's collider shape to avoid it hitting the ground on the front bumper or make the jump not too step there.

 

Is there any tips to enhance race AI behavior?

 

Hi @rhodnius I want to to make many different IRDSManagers prefabs and Instantiate it on the same scene depending on what kind of race the player wishes to do in the scene. Unfortunately ,I get a ton of errors. Is this possible with this asset or do I have to to tinker with the source code?

 

Should be possible, what errors you are getting? one thing is you can't have multiple IRDSManagers at the same time spawned, because those classes are singletons.

 

I fixed it by calling Initialize() on the player IRDScarcontrollerAI and IRDSManager upon instantiation. Thank You for the quick reply
