Solved Spoiler jbeam falls off everytime

I made the spoiler for D-series
and use a 200bx spoiler jbeam
when I started driving ...the spoiler falls off


Have no idea how to fix this..any idea?

 

There are too little nodes the spoiler is attached to. Also, if I were you, I'd attach it to the bed cover, not to the tailgate.

 

Ummmm u mean the spoiler is attached to a tailgate?

Kinda confusing

 

Attach it to something.

Right now, the spoiler isn't attached to the vehicle at all (no beams connecting it to the body).

That's why it falls off.

 

@FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL
Dumb question incoming : how can I make it attach to the bed cover?

 

Find the section within the spoiler Jbeam titled "beams". Add a couple more lines that look like this:

["a","b"],

Where a = the name of a node on the spoiler, and b = the name of a node on the bedcover's Jbeam.

 

I hope to see this spoiler made, perhaps I could stack my wing with yours for 9000 LBS of downforce

But yea, attach it to something, in beams, find the coordinating names from node to node, so the spoiler may have nodes like sp1l and attaches to tr1l but now it may be bc1l for the bed cover
it is a whole list like
Beamstrength: etc
beamspring: etc
["sp1l", "tr1l"]
so just change tr1l to whatever you want to connect to on the d-series


you may also want to put the flexbodies/deform group in the same group, I tried doing it with a towbar but the D-Series has more than one bumper type so it wouldn't work since the towbar goes in a slot that each bumper has and each bumper has a different deform group

 

Thx for the help guys! But there are one more problem
when I use a node grabber or stuff to make the spoiler fall off..the spoiler mesh doesn't fall off! Only jbeam! why?

 

"flexbodies": [
["mesh", "[group]:", "nonFlexMaterials"],
["coupe_spoiler_bed", ["pickup_bedcover"], [],{"pos":{"x":0,"y":0,"z":0}}],
],
"nodes": [
["id", "posX", "posY", "posZ"],
//--TRUNK--
{"nodeMaterial":"|NM_PLASTIC"},
{"frictionCoef":0.5},
{"group":"coupe_spoiler"},
{"collision":true},
{"nodeWeight":0.35},
{"selfCollision":true},


The nodegroup you attached your spoiler mesh to isnt the nodegroup of the spoiler...

 

hey! Thx a lot guys! now it works properly!

 

Suggestion: maybe add a rigidifier and/or some deformation limiters.

A spoiler should not crumple like paper.

 

Guud idea! Thx m8
