Release Notes
v1.5.4
Fixed
Improved ground detection so the size of the model shouldn't matter
Updated
Added SkidReverseSpeed to DriftSettings, allowing for custom setting of when skid marks and smokes are emitted when reversing
v1.5.3
Fixed
Fixed layer setup launcher not appearing. It now displays on asset import again
Updated
Improved positioning of the box collider in the prefab builder
Added tool tips to all Vehicle Settings options
v1.5.2
Fixed
Wheels now rotate again when steering the vehicle
v1.5.1
Added
Strafing now has it's own tilt value in the vehicle settings
Updated
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
