controlling speed while car follows a motion path

Post by Sirsilent » Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:38 pm

is it possible to control the speed of a car while it follows a motion path? I know you can control steering but I want to be able to accelerate or stop on the motion path whenever I want.

thanks

On the 4-Wheeler Extended there is a TargetMesh that you consttraint to a motion path and make sure that you check the "Autonomous Mode" in the configuration window for the 4-Wheeler Extended. Another thing to control the motion path is the use of a Craft Spline-Speed Controller.

Around 8 minutes in Luigi shows how you make the Craft 4-Wheeler Extended follow a motion path.
