Hello!

I'm having an issue with my 4 wheeler is not keeping up with the CarriageNode. As the CarriageNode begins, the 4 wheeler jumps with the node but the Carriage continues to pull away. Looking at the Gauges, the current velocity is 35mph and it reaches 100% of max velocity. My 4 wheeler is set to autonomous and the following setting options.
Follow Strength - 10
Follow Strength Response Factor - 1
Auto-Steering Responce Factor - .2
Ignore Sphere Radius - .5

Is there a set max velocity parameter?

Thanks!

Hello. I figured out the issue. I adjusted the Gas Pedal response factor and the car operates correctly. Thanks!

Yes, the probolem is often that the 4-Wheller does not catch the target becouse it has to low maximum velocity value. To raise this adjust the Gas Pedal (Forw/Backw) Maximum under Input properties.

The Gas Pedal (Forw/Backw) Response factor is the acceleration and can also be of interest to adjust to better suit the needs.

Hello and thank you @Patrik Martin for the clarification. It can always be useful to someone.

What did you change the Gas Pedal response factor from/to?

Hi I can't seem to link the Craft car rig to so that it works with the carriage node? Can someone help with how to get it linked please.

1. The 4-Wheeler Extended has a mesh called TargetMesh this mesh is what you link to the CarrigeNode.
2. In order for the 4-Wheeler Extended to follow the TargetMesh (that now is following the CarrigeNode) you need to active "Autonomous mode" in the 4-Wheeler Extended's configuration.
