I am thinking about making a vehicle with very realistic physics (a motorcycle to be exact). I need great precision and refinement because I do not want it glitching out like most standard roblox vehicles. My question is: Should I stick to the vehicle objects and make immense edits to the physics or should I build it from the ground up (if that is even possible). I'm just a little worried about lag and things like that. I want to stay somewhat efficient. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks

You should learn about car suspension on roblox

its not just suspension im worried about.... Perhaps I should be more specific. I am trying to script motocross bikes. If you want an example, look up games like MX vs ATV Reflex, MXGP3, or mx simulator. Perhaps some aspects are a little ambitious for roblox, but I would be really happy if I could figure out things like in-air physics or rider distribution and how it causes the bike to handle.

To come to think of it, Vurse made a pretty good mario kart style game with physics that matched it perfectly. I guess mario kart physics arent great, but by roblox standards, it is pretty impressive. I wonder what he did... They don't remind me of regular roblox vehicles.

Use lots of OOP.

Consider using constraints for very good suspension.

Use BodyGryo & other body movers to stabilize things.

Adding to my last tip, never trust Roblox physics. It always acts up and does unexpected things. That's why you use cheats like BodyMovers.

I wish I could say more, but I've never been too big on doing things like this.

"Use lots of OOP."

Yes, OOP is great for abstraction that provides elegant and flexible code.

yeah I have always felt the same way about roblox physics. I have been studying up on egomoose's guides on roblox wiki for things like inverse kinematics to get better with OOP.

EgoMoose has a youtube channel that I check up on occasionally. If you haven't been there I recommend it.

For OOP the roblox wiki has a guide. But it's not too human. Go to scriptinghelpers and they have a fantastic guide there. lua dwuet org also has a nice guide too. For the metatables there is a youtube video on the _index metamethod that explains it flawlessly.

I love egomoose's youtube channel! I have seen the video on the __index metamethod too, but in OOP, its application seems to only be useful for notation. i.e. I think you could do the exact same stuff with regular tables, but it is much cleaner with metatables.

Random bump, but do you guys think it would be a bad idea to use CFrame to control the way the motorcycle moves and rotates. I don't know how else I could dodge roblox physics but I am open to other ideas.
