VehicleSeat

Show Deprecated

The VehicleSeat objects welds a player to the seat when the player touches the seat. It then forwards the movement keys to any connected motor joints, allowing control of a vehicle.

While VehicleSeats are great for making simple vehicles they do have some limitations. Movement control will only detect motors connected directly to the vehicle seat, or through another rigid connection. This means that if you have a wheel connected to a beam which is then welded to the seat it will work fine, however if you have the wheel connected to a part, which is connected by a hinge to the rest of the car, it will not work.

Summary

Properties

  • read only
    not replicated
    read parallel

    Displays how many hinges are detected by the VehicleSeat. Useful for debugging vehicle designs.

  • read parallel

    Toggles whether the VehicleSeat is active or not.

  • read parallel

    If true, a fancy speed bar will be displayed speed on screen that tells you what speed the Vehicle is moving at.

  • read parallel

    The maximum speed that can be attained.

  • read only
    not replicated
    read parallel

    The humanoid that is sitting in the seat.

  • not replicated
    read parallel
    deprecated

    The direction of movement, tied to the keys A and D. Must be one of 1 (right), 0 (straight), or -1 (left). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

  • read parallel

    Functions identically to VehicleSeat.Steer, but the value is not an integer.

  • not replicated
    read parallel
    deprecated

    The direction of movement, tied to the keys W and S. Must be an integer 1 (forward) 0 (null) or -1 (reverse). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

  • read parallel

    Functions identically to VehicleSeat.Throttle, but the value is not an integer.

  • read parallel

    How fast the vehicles will be able to attain VehicleSeat.MaxSpeed. The greater the number, the faster it will reach the maximum speed.

  • read parallel

    The speed at which the vehicle will turn. Higher numbers can cause problems and are not necessarily better.

AreHingesDetected

read only
not replicated
read parallel

Displays how many hinges are detected by the VehicleSeat. Useful for debugging vehicle designs.

Disabled

read parallel

Toggles whether the VehicleSeat is active or not. If the seat is disabled then it will not automatically weld a character to it on collision and will not allow a character to control the connected vehicle.

HeadsUpDisplay

read parallel

If true, a fancy speed bar will be displayed speed on screen that tells you what speed the Vehicle is moving at.

MaxSpeed

read parallel

The maximum speed that can be attained.

Occupant

read only

The humanoid that is sitting in the seat

Steer

not replicated
read parallel

The direction of movement, tied to the keys A and D. Must be one of 1 (right), 0 (straight), or -1 (left). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

SteerFloat

read parallel

Functions identically to VehicleSeat.Steer, but the value is not an integer.

Throttle

not replicated
read parallel

The direction of movement, tied to the keys W and S. Must be an integer 1 (forward) 0 (null) or -1 (reverse). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

ThrottleFloat

read parallel

Functions identically to VehicleSeat.Throttle, but the value is not an integer.

Torque

read parallel

How fast the vehicles will be able to attain VehicleSeat.MaxSpeed. The greater the number, the faster it will reach the maximum speed.

TurnSpeed

read parallel

The speed at which the vehicle will turn. Higher numbers can cause problems and are not necessarily better.

Methods

void

Forces the character with the specified Humanoid to sit in the VehicleSeat.
