Released nascar script ai turning fix

(this is my first ever post in the forums so take this with a grain of salt i guess? and english isnt my native language so forgive me if the wording or anything is bad)

ive had issues with the script ai in the past, like a lot. specially one where the ai just understeer/brake more than necessary whenever they take a turn very fast. unfortunately i couldnt find a single solution in the forums

sooo i decided to fix it myself.


its a very simple solution, all i did was increase the steering and decrease the deviation coefficients in the code. but i hope this helps with your recordings

please keep in mind that this adjustment will impact ALL script ai paths, including those unrelated to nascar. this means that even non-nascar-related paths can be affected, as the car will not brake as aggressively when deviating too much from the path. however, I believe this change could also benefit those recordings in some way.

(I have no idea if this was already a known solution or if its fixable within the game itself, if thats the case i probably didnt look deep enough. If it isnt then im surprised no one tried this before since its a very easy fix.)

How to install:
1. go to your installation folder
2. go to lua/vehicle
3. drop the file there

 

only if my game didnt be dumb

 

I may have to try this later. It would have saved me time while making this monstrosity:

 

note: it works even better if you increase the static friction in the asphalt

just a tip: if you plan to record a lot of cars at once you can put slow motion and then speed up the recording when editing, it will make it look smoother

I know. I just don't usually do it because it kills the sound.

 

I got the game like 7 months ago, I wanted to set up the AI but I was too lazy to, can you tell me how to set up the AI to follow this?

 

You still have to do it yourself. This just makes the ai follow the paths better.

 

Hey, sorry for having to make you wait but you inspired me to make a nascar ai tutorial lol, here:

 

Does It work with the old daytona track? If you wanna see it look at my yt vids.

 

as long as your line doesnt hit the wall, it should. this just helps to make the ai turn more and not brake as often

 

I can not find the LUA/vehicles folder in my game to put the mod into, so where do I put it?

 

your game physically cannot work if you dont have those folders so you SHOULD have them. and no you cant put it anywhere else other than the place i mentioned.

 

You should be able to find it by doing this process. File Manager / Program Files (x86) / Steam / steamapps / common / BeamNG.Drive / lua / vehicle.

 

quick question is the sound still bugged?

 

wdym?

 

look

 

its a slow motion thing, you can speed it up in recording playback and it will sound normal again.

 

alr

 

I am using the updated daytona now. what track does this ai work on?
