      Thank you, I render videos from time to time so it'll be totally worth to learn how to do this. πŸ‘

        Very nice - Cool

        Could be nice to have a tool bar for more easy use.
        The "nodes" could be in flag shape, and outomatically named ect...
        ( set to "ignore" )

        Thank you
        David.

          Toolbar... ok, here you go:
          AI Tools.zip
          Same deal as normal plugins, unzip in your plugins folder. To register a vehicle as AI, select all parts, including hidden parts, and use the 'Set AI' tool. To auto-number your nodes, create them in order (that's important), select them all, and use the 'Number route' tool. It removes existing numbers in the name, so you can re-use the tool, after adding extra nodes, for example.

            WOW !!! - It is beautiful - incredible model !!!
            Still need more instruction on how to use the Toolsbar for all the tasks.
            I am missing the tool for inserting the script to the "floor" and seting the motors control.

            P.S.
            I don't understand the name AI - what does it stend for?
            Nice job !
            Thank you.

              AI... Artificial intelligence. Just the sweeping term for computer-controlled opponents, the main intention of the system. With the floor, you need SP3 X Apr2 or above, and the 'ontick' field will be visible under properties in the UI, with an object selected. Just copy/paste the main code from the tutorial into there. I found out how SP stores the ontick scripts though, so I could automate that as well. Setting the motor controllers, again, in the UI, paste the command into the motor's controller field.

              And you're welcome πŸ˜„

                Hi Wacov
                I think I did every thing correctly
                Could you check why the Red car does not move correctly?

                Thank you.

                  Looks like you didn't register all parts of the car... select everything, every part of it, including wheels, steering assembly, everything with an AI-controlled joint inside, and use the AI registration tool. After that the axes of the car are wrong, but that's easily fixed, and covered in the tutorial.

                    Didn't work
                    Could you post a working demo done with the tut?
                    same model a little bit cleaner
                    Thanx.

                      You presumably exploded and re-grouped the main body, so its ontick field is empty πŸ˜„

                      Here's a couple of example models, they both use slightly outdated code though:

                        I took your model and replaced the parts inside with the ones in my model.

                        The only problem now is to make my Track "Obey the traffic laws" πŸ˜„
                        Well - I would like it to stay in the correct lane....

                        The problem is I do not understand what is going on.
                        It would be grate if you could explain what I should do

                        AI Red Track
                        P.S it takes about 15 seconds to start after I press run - Is it normal?
                        Thank you.
