I am trying to make a racing game.
I've got the track.
I've got the car.
I've got the game.
One problem.
The car doesn't always have all four wheels on the floor.
How do I make it so that all four wheels always touch the floor?
(In case it is needed the wheels are limbs 1-4, the chassis is limb 5 and the driver is limb 6)

Let me refrase my question.
The car stays flat like this:

So when it comes to a ramp this happens:

The car goes up thwe ramp but stays at the same angle.
How do I solve this.
P.S. It is a 3D game.

um.. The code i posted b4 was just the theory, in fact, if you copy and paste that crap, it probably will run errors.

That's just the theory behind it, you have to think, make up something, and run trial and error until it works.

Oh!
And why are you dividing object position x and z by 2?
And why use matrix height instead of ground height?

1.)I dont know which one you use (ground/matrix).
2.)
x is the x value .
b is the x value- x/2.
a is the x value+ x/2.

get it? it's how you read data from each end of the car.

3.)etc. is all the crap you need to figure out
