Unsolved How to make a stronger welded doors?

Any way to make 'em stick together

EDIT : Know how to make the welded doors. But I want to make em' STICK like a super glue and can't pull them off!!

What should I increase in doors jbeam????

 

Either make a few new beams or use the coupler system. Additional beams won't require you to re-declare nodes and will probably help you maintain compatibility with new game versions for a little longer.

 

5-door Covet mod has a "welded doors" version, you can use it as an example.

 

need more details about it
still can't figure out how

 

I must be missing something. Just permanently connect the doors to the body. The physics engine is node/beam based, so it doesn't directly simulate a difference between (for example) two plates which are bolted together vs two plates which are welded together. It's up to you to setup a node/beam structure which behaves in a similar way to what you want to simulate.

Look at the beams used for a normal section of body which is permanently joined together, similar to how you would like the door seam to behave. Examine their spring, damp, deform, break, etc. Now create new beams between the door nodes and the body nodes using those settings.

 

im still a dumb but thx for da tips anyway.....
A dumb like me still need a IN-DEPTH tutorial XDDDD

 

Guys cant you just explain it to him in a easy to understand way?

somethign i wrote. copy pasting here. i cant say if the attached files will work, but the method below will.

IM USING MOONHAWK AS EXAMPLE
heres what i did. I have also included the files and a zip. the zip shoudl be able to be dropped straight into mods.
First copy the moonhawk door and hood jbeam your unpacked moonhawk folder Should be something like this: mods/unpacked/moonhawkwelded/vehicles/moonhawk. Next rename each one.

then open both of them up. The start of the hood jbeam should look like this

Code:

"moonhawk_hood": {
   "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"Hood",
        "value":100,
    }

You need to add onto the top part _welded so that the game can tell its a separate part. Next add Welded in front of hood in the name part. This is the text that shows up in the part selector.

Code:

"moonhawk_hood_welded": {
   "information":{
        "authors":"BeamNG",
        "name":"Welded Hood",
        "value":100,
    }

Finally for the hood find the word latch. should be around line 306 and look like this

Code:

        //hood latch
          {"beamDeform":10500,"beamStrength":30500},
          {"breakGroup":"moonhawk_hoodlatch"},

Change the value for beamStrength to a higher number if you want the welds to still break, but be stronger than the regular latch. or put "FLT_MAX"(exactly like that with the quotes too)

Code:

        //hood latch
          {"beamDeform":10500,"beamStrength":30500},
          {"breakGroup":"moonhawk_hoodlatch"},

This is what it looks like when i have the flt max value put in.

Code:

        //hood latch
          {"beamDeform":10500,"beamStrength":"FLT_MAX"},
          {"breakGroup":"moonhawk_hoodlatch"},

 

Thank u so much man!!
This is a lot easier to understand!
And welcome back

And thanks to @torsion too !! for trying to help me

 

what about the fenders???
