Updated

  • Added SkidReverseSpeed to DriftSettings, allowing for custom setting of when skid marks and smokes are emitted when reversing

v1.5.3

  • Strafing now has it's own tilt value in the vehicle settings

  • Fixed minor typo in prefab builder help

  • Removed Cinemachine namespace include that snuck into VehicleBehaviour

v1.5

Added

  • Vehicle audio component added. This component is used for engine start, engine running, engine stop, drifting, collisions

  • Collision effects. Easily added particle effects for collisions.

  • Collision Manager component added. This component deals with the collision events and calls its own events to pass them to the new audio and effects components (OnVehicleCollisionEnter, OnVehicleCollisionExit, OnVehicleCollisionStay)

  • Drift settings are now a ScriptableObject. These are required for Vehicle Effects (drift tire marks/ smoke) and Vehicle Audio

  • Engine can now be toggled on/off, with an option to auto start (new events added for these - OnStartEngine, OnEngineStarted)

  • Tight/ loose ground follow option

Updated

  • Ground alignment has been greatly improved, following the contours of the ground much better than before

  • Vehicle will now rotate towards the ground as it falls through the air (optional, this can be toggled in the VehicleSettings)

  • VehicleSettings have been updated to add all the new features

  • Prefab builder tided up and new features added. UseBoxCollider is now forced to true, older setup is being phased out

Fixed

  • Now using OnGround raycast to accelerate, instead of NearGround as this allowed the vehicle to change direction and move in the air causing weird movement. This also lead to the tight/ loose ground follow option being added

  • Setting the position when a vehicle is using the box collider setup no longer ends up in the model spinning around
