I really would like to see an addition for the game that allows to use a player model to drive the cars or use them as passengers or both, the fact that there is nobody driving the cars just looks weird to me, there could also be an UI that allows you to choose a player model and colors, much like how you can choose the car (choose from a racing driver to a citizien, to a police man, and change their clothing colors, and then choose which seats on the vehicle you want to be occupied, it could be an extra option on the vehicle selection menu) and if the car have a strong hit the driver could turn into a ragdoll and you can't be able to control the car anymore (sure with an option to turn it off) and there could be a keybind to use a seatbelt or not so you can make the driver fly off the windshield as a ragdoll, not sure if someone suggested this before but I thought it could be a very fun thing. I know we already have the Stig Ragdoll mod but it have an awful turning animation and the camera don't really go on his actual vision and the whole body shakes like a jello, I've been thinking of more of an official support for playermodels other than an object.
It is close to impossible to simulate a realisticly performing driver body -> Develpoers not gonna do it
Was that necessary? I just wanted to see them implementing a driver with ragdoll physics that it could be added on any car and that you could choose it's model and colors, I forgot to tell the stig was limited to a pickup truck only, please don't be a dick.
It is only limited to the pickup because the car needs to be extensively customized before the ragdoll (stig) can be inserted IF we get lucky, the stig might later come into the hatch or GM, but really that depends on b25mitch, and since he is a official developer now, i don't think it is happening.
the old joke of the "most realistic driving physics game" with cars being driven by magic. say what you want, to me its a LOGICFAIL
Sorry man I'm just new on this forum and I didn't know, but I would honestly love to see such feature.
kyleharbor made the E30 M3 mod and there is indeed a "Stig" jbeamed character in the car...It performs relatively realistically, fully jbeamed, and in the "passenger seat" view, you can slow down the physics and smash a wall at 40 and the behavior of the "stig" certainly seems pretty realistic... http://www.beamng.com/threads/10889-BMW-E30-M3-v1-0?p=174247#post174247 Def worth a look, im suprised that there arent a million threads about how awesum this mod is, that we finally have what resembles a human driving the car. His hands are even KINDA on the wheel!! and it turns!!
The stig is from B25Mitch, he released him for the D15. kyleharbor just ported him to the BMW. But yeah, it's indeed quite entertaining to have a driver inside a car.
I think it'd be quite entertaining to have airbags. They don't have to react with a ragdoll. I just think it'd be entertaining to have airbags deploy in accidents that are strong enough. Also have a sound for them. It'd be really hard to make them look nice though. They'd clip and stuff.
/support Good to see you on BeamNG, Filipe. Now maybe you can make vehicles for BeamNG rather than Blockland?
I just saw a video on Youtube with Stig in a BMW! - - - Updated - - - I saw that video on Youtube! I'm gonna get it for sure.
