Beta Autobello Mecanodrive 1.0

Makes parking easier with mecanum drive!

  1. Blijo
    What started as a proof of concept turned into a mod.
    I wanted to control electric motors with lua. This was possible(actually easy) and then I wondered if mecanum drive would work in BeamNG.
    This was the case. Then I decided to use this on an Autobello because we all know that it is hard to park an Autobello.

    About the wheel:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecanum_wheel
    It is somewhat fragile, don't rally with it :D

    Drive modes:


    P=Park
    R=Reverse, all motors turn the same direction. Front wheels steer conventionally

    Move with throttle+steering input:
    N=Neutral. Right and left motors turn in opposite directions. Front steering is disabled,
    S=Slide. FR and RL turn the same direction and FL and RR too.

    D=Drive, all motors turn the same direction. Front wheels steer conventionally

    Issues:
    • Handling is somewhat poor, be careful with the rear end.
    • Steering wheel doesn't rotate
    • Small wheels are somewhat fragile
    • No modelled engines, pretend that they are inside the wheels
    Please don't use my code, models, textures etc for other things without permission.

    Youtubers: You can review this mod, but for all other purposes, ask me for permission, I will file a copyright claim against you otherwise.

    Hilarious. I'm on my high school robotics team and we use this sort of thing a lot. I've always wanted to do this with a car.

      Cool, I used to be the captain of an FTC team for 3 years (NL0012), we never used mecanum drive but we saw quite some people using them :)
