My own custom implementation of a 3D Raycast Vehicle, alternative to VehicleBody3D node (Not related).
Proper documentation and ease of use for custom nodes node are not a priority at the moment.
- Vehicle: Handles the controls and general properties and layout of vehicle.
- Axle/Wheel Handles the suspension and grip. (Axle is for positioning)
- LightsManager: Turns meshes into working dynamic lights. (Based on node.name atm).
- SprintRace: Turns Node3D children into checkpoints for a race and handles timer & GhostPlayer for replays.
- GhostPlayer: Can record or replay actions of vehicle object.
- RoadCurve: Small wrapper for Path3D and CSGPolygon, updates Radar.
- Radar: Draws roads, checkpoints & vehicles. (Currently unoptimized and unfinished)
Power & Brake Force: How much force the wheels can produce. (Limited by max grip)
Brake Bias: Where the brake force is applied, causes drifty handling toward -1 (rear) and understeer toward 1 (front)
Turn Angle: Maximum wheel angle when turning.
Grip: Multiplier to maximum grip.
Grip Forgiveness: Makes acceleration and braking less costly on grip. Gives the "Arcade" feel (1 = more arcadey, grip not reduced under acceleration or braking).
Height, Strength, Damping: Suspension parameters.
Anti-roll: Counter-force to rotation. (Might cause undesired understeer)
Aero: Downforce at position of aero component. (One at rear and one at front for example vehicle)
Stabilizer: Keeps vehicle straight and less likely to spin out. (If placed behind center)
