    My Heavy Duty Cargo Van was far from happy when it found out it was being used to transport three 2 ton concrete blocks. It even struggled with two. It can carry a Covet quite well, but these blocks are about 2 and a half times heavier, EACH!



    It bent the chassis in the middle and the blocks punched through the wooden floor and fiberglass side. To be honest, expecting something designed to carry maybe 1,300kg to carry about 6,000 is ridiculous but it shows the reality of the game!

    Turn off physics, go to editor, go to world camera or outside view so your looking at the side, spawn an object and position it sideways, push it half in through the side of the truck and use the controls to make sure the wheels touch the floor and the nose and back end are in and not half way inside the cab! Then when it's nice and central, push it inside the remaining way (gigidy) then do a quick 360 to make sure nothing's protruding out the sides or back. Hit J and check it hasn't fallen out. Then if all is good, exit editor.

    If its a car like the hatch, tab to it. Get to inside view and set the parking brake, have a good look around to make sure it's in properly, tab to the tuck and drive!

    Actually, if it's a car, you can back the Vanster to a ramp and drive the car into it. I got a Covet in it that way.

    No because when you add the backdoors back on the van respawns sometimes without the covet in it.

    You use TAB to switch between cars.

    Yeah. You can. Try this:

    Spawn Cabster, Spawn Covet. Align the vehicles. Pause physics with J. Place the covet in the back of the cabster hovering with wheels a bit in the air. Set camera speed to 5. Check to make sure all sides of covet are comfortably within boundaries of cabster. Press J to unpause physics. Bam, profit.

    Dont try respawning the vehicles. You'll usually end up destroying everything.

    Dude are you for real!!!! This is what I initially said to to do. I'm sorry but do you not listen?!? You keep saying to do things mentioned in the original post or in earlier posts. It keeps happening. It's like no one reads anything. You keep repeating things I've said dude. I don't wanna sound angry but it's like I've typed stuff up for nothing whatsoever. "You can get a hatch in no problem. I even said this on the OP man. And then you virtually copy the bible sized post i put up on how to put the car in the back of the van.

    I just align the Covet inside the box and mash TAB and "i" until it works.

    To each their own, I suppose~
