Is there any code I can use to make smooth turns in a vehicle.

So whenever I want to turn I can do it smoothly like in real life.


Thanks in advance

Can I use that for DarkGDK cuz it doesn't look like.

I was looking for that command in gdk but couldn't find it.

Thanks for your help again 3DMaster

may need changing to work with gdk commands, as thats how I use it basic.



objectnumber, newmax#, lastmax# may need to be declared.

I don't think you need the "#"'s because they mean the variable is a float in DB (I think).

The most realistic method would be to move the vehicle using forces rather than directly setting the velocity, then by applying a turning forces at right angles for steering + accelerative or decelerative forces backwards or forwards for movement.

I don't really have the time right now to write out an example, but its similar to the autonomous behavior here with the exception of limiting the angle of the turn force based on the maximum turn radius.

Though I suppose it would be much easier to use an alternative method if you don't understand some of the basic physics.

Or something like it. EDIT: Ignore the and that was to make the "objectnumber" bold so you'd know to replace it.
