So I was making a car chassis with good physics and I completed the model of the car. Then I created a vehicle seat and put the following script inside:

01-- get the specifications
02local speed         = script.speed.Value
03local accleration   = script.acceleration.Value
04local steeringspeed = script.steeringSpeed.Value
05local steeringangle = script.steeringAngle.Value
06 
07-- set up the shortcuts
08local vehicle   = script.Parent.Parent
09local seat      = script.Parent
10 
11-- find the tires
12local A         = vehicle.A     -- front left
13local AA        = vehicle.AA    -- front right
14local B         = vehicle.B     -- back left
15local BB        = vehicle.BB    -- back right
16 
17-- find the steering mechanism
18local steerA    = vehicle.SteeringA.Servo
19local steerB    = vehicle.SteeringB.Servo
20 
21 
22-- set up wheels' motor accerlation
23A.Motor.MotorMaxTorque      = accleration
24AA.Motor.MotorMaxTorque     = accleration
25B.Motor.MotorMaxTorque      = accleration
26BB.Motor.MotorMaxTorque     = accleration
27 
28while true do
29 
30    -- power the wheels
31    velocity = seat.Throttle * speed -- use the seat's throttle to determine the wheels' action (backward? forward? nothing?)
32    A.Motor.AngularVelocity     = velocity
33    AA.Motor.AngularVelocity    = velocity
34    B.Motor.AngularVelocity     = -velocity
35    BB.Motor.AngularVelocity    = -velocity
36 
37    wait()
38 
39    -- steering
40    steering = seat.Throttle * speed
41    steerA.AngularSpeed = steeringspeed
42        steerA.ServoMaxTorque = 100000000
43        steerA.TargetAngle = steeringangle*seat.Steer
44    steerB.AngularSpeed = steeringspeed
45        steerB.ServoMaxTorque = 100000000
46        steerB.TargetAngle = steeringangle*seat.Steer
47end

What happens when I run the game is that the steering wheels turn the opposite direction when I turn right or left. This means that I cannot control the car!

The vehicle seat also has number values that represent the following from the above code:

1local speed         = script.speed.Value
2local accleration   = script.acceleration.Value
3local steeringspeed = script.steeringSpeed.Value
4local steeringangle = script.steeringAngle.Value

You can make the steer value to make it opposite

01while true do
02 
03    -- power the wheels
04    velocity = seat.Throttle * speed -- use the seat's throttle to determine the wheels' action (backward? forward? nothing?)
05    A.Motor.AngularVelocity     = velocity
06    AA.Motor.AngularVelocity    = velocity
07    B.Motor.AngularVelocity     = -velocity
08    BB.Motor.AngularVelocity    = -velocity
09 
10    wait()
11 
12    -- steering
13    steering = seat.Throttle * speed
14    steerA.AngularSpeed = steeringspeed
15        steerA.ServoMaxTorque = 100000000
16        steerA.TargetAngle = steeringangle*seat.Steer* -1
17    steerB.AngularSpeed = steeringspeed
18        steerB.ServoMaxTorque = 100000000
19        steerB.TargetAngle = steeringangle*seat.Steer * -1
20end

Thank You SO MUCH! This helped, but for steerA, you don't have to put -1, cause it will do the same thing. Thanks Anyway! Lightning_Game27 232 — 4y
