wheels rotating wrong

just moved to a new topic...

hi again...
i just tried out this great vehhicleexample with tank and boat and jeep, and now i saw that the graphical wheels are turning false.
if i drive backwards the wheels are turning forward.

i coudnt get it fixed....still kind of newbie

thanks to everybody who can help me
Confused


so the snippet which do the rotation in my eyes ist:


here is the function which updates the wheels


//rotate wheel
w.rotation += wheelRPM / 60.0 * 360.0* Time.fixedDeltaTime;
w.rotation = Mathf.Repeat(w.rotation, 360.0);
w.graphic.localRotation= Quaternion.Euler( w.rotation, w.maxSteerAngle*steer, 0.0 ) * w.originalRotation;

i think somwhere around here it is ?!

 

Well, if the rotation around the x-axis is opposite, then just negate the x angle.

Code (csharp):

1. w.graphic.localRotation= Quaternion.Euler( -w.rotation, w.maxSteerAngle*steer, 0.0 ) * w.originalRotation;

 

thanks very much, i will try this out.

 

Are you sure the Rotation is wrong?
If it is you can create the opposite motion as bronxbomber92 mentioned ...

I just had a thought though .... if the wheels are moving fast enough it can create an optical illusion ... you know when you watch a bicycle wheel spinning there is a point when the wheel appears to spin in the opposite direction ... I've noticed this effect in some of my projects.

Cheers

 

thanks,

i checked it, but the wheels are doing wrong.
if you look into the vehicles_example:

//update wheel status
function UpdateWheels()
{
//calculate handbrake slip for traction gfx
handbrakeSlip=handbrake*rigidbody.velocity.magnitude*0.1;
if(handbrakeSlip>1)
handbrakeSlip=1;

totalSlip=0.0;
onGround=false;
for(w in wheels)
{
//rotate wheel
w.rotation += wheelRPM / 60.0 * 360.0* Time.fixedDeltaTime;
w.rotation = Mathf.Repeat(w.rotation, 360.0);
w.graphic.localRotation= Quaternion.Euler( w.rotation, w.maxSteerAngle*steer, 0.0 ) * w.originalRotation;

//check if wheel is on ground
if(w.coll.isGrounded)
onGround=true;

slip = cornerSlip+(w.powered?driveSlip:0.0)+(w.handbraked?handbrakeSlip:0.0);
totalSlip += slip;

var hit : WheelHit;
var c : WheelCollider;
c = w.coll;
if(c.GetGroundHit(hit))
{
//if the wheel touches the ground, adjust graphical wheel position to reflect springs
w.graphic.localPosition.y-=Vector3.Dot(w.graphic.position-hit.point,transform.up)-w.coll.radius;

//create dust on ground if appropiate
if(slip>0.5 hit.collider.tag=="Dusty")
{
groundDustEffect.position=hit.point;
groundDustEffect.particleEmitter.worldVelocity=rigidbody.velocity*0.5;
groundDustEffect.particleEmitter.minEmission=(slip-0.5)*3;
groundDustEffect.particleEmitter.maxEmission=(slip-0.5)*3;
groundDustEffect.particleEmitter.Emit();
}

//and skid marks
if(slip>0.75 skidmarks != null)
w.lastSkidMark=skidmarks.AddSkidMark(hit.point,hit.normal,(slip-0.75)*2,w.lastSkidMark);
else
w.lastSkidMark=-1;
}
else w.lastSkidMark=-1;
}
totalSlip/=wheels.length;
}


i do not know how to seperate the forward backward drive.
