๐Ÿš™ Vehicle

Vehicles are wheeled entities which Characters can possesses and drive.


๐Ÿ’‚Authority
This class can only be spawned on ๐ŸŸฆ Server side.
๐Ÿ‘ชInheritance
This class shares methods and events from Base Entity, Base Actor, Base Paintable.
๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ปAPI Source
The methods, properties and events descriptions from this page are defined in our GitHub API Repository!

Any Skeletal Mesh can be used to create a Vehicle, although only Skeletal Meshes with Wheels bones can use the built-in feature of animated Wheels.

floatsuspension_wheel_load_ratio?0.5Amount wheel load effects wheel friction.
- At 0 wheel friction is completely independent of the loading on the wheel (This is artificial as it always assumes even balance between all wheels)
- At 1 wheel friction is based on the force pressing wheel into the ground. This is more realistic.
- Lower value cures lift off over-steer, generally makes vehicle easier to handle under extreme motions.
