Make parts weaker.

stephen f · Nov 14, 2013

How do I make parts of cars fall off with more ease? I'm trying to learn more about the jbeam files and was wondering what do I modify to make parts weaker? What I want to do is weaken the body mounts on the moonhawk to make it seem like it has rust.

Open "moonhawk_body.jbeam" and find "//--BODY MOUNTS--"
Right underneath that is this line:

{"beamDeform":22000,"beamStrength":100000},

Lower those values, as well as all the subsequent occurrances of beamDeform and beamStrength, to make the body mounts weaker. When you get to "//trunk perimeter shape" stop weakening the beams (those aren't body mount beams anymore).

If they're weak enough, you could potentially have the body come off the frame completely

Thanks gabester! It's fun driving the d15 into the side . I did run across two "bugs"? If one of the rear body mounts is damaged (or broken) part of the gas tanks texture disappears. The second problem is that the rear part of the frame clips through the body then gets stuck. (might be the same issue as the box truck, how things get stuck in the walls)
