Help with Rear Wheel Steering?

[mazman22]

I'm still kinda new to all this but I built my first trail worthy truck. I built it off the ideal of a good crawler/trail rides and I'm quite happy with how the truck works and conforms, as for now it is just a beam truck as I slowly work my way through this learning process. My problem is I would like this truck to have rear wheel steering that I can control with the f1 and f2 commands, and I would need it to go back to the neutral position if I am not hitting the f1 and f2. I have been looking all over on here to try and figure it out. I believe I'm suppose to use a command beam, but when I do, it only will tilt the tires in a little and will do nothing if I hit f2. Tried it a different way with only having one command beam per side and it would turn but only in one direction with both f1 and f2 commands. I did have the values opposite has I have found on the wiki, but it still won't work right, can anybody clear this up for me.? I will include the .truck file but I have deleted the command beams at the moment. Also, there is no rigity nodes for them as I had found in another thread,

Update. I found that the showtime crawler has the rear steering that is what I'm looking for. I unzipped it to look at it in the editorizer but it shows no nodes or beams, . I am going to keep working on it.

I didn't try your truck in game, but rear wheel steering should work if you make the same steering structures for front and rear end. Just with commands instead of hydros in the rear. Use commands2 with shortbound and longbound the same distance from 1.00, for example 0.65 and 1.35 if you want the wheels to turn the same amount as the front wheels in your truck. Option "c" should work like you described, so it auto-centers, but it was quite unreliable last time I tried. Option "o" could be better, it stops in the center and ends when you press the command key once.

Set all the rigidity nodes to 9999, unless those nodes turn with the wheels.

Thank you so much. I did not know about the command2. Works perfect now. Now I guess I'm off to figure out how to get blender and all that working on my pc. You have been loads of help.

can you posted an updated .truck with the working rear steer!

No problem, just hoping to get this done completly soon. Would love to release this setup soon as I haven't found one on here with this type of suspension setup. Still some tweaks needed but frame is in final steps.

i was hoping to get started right away one mesh placing but i can see that the n/b structure is not finished.. so this means it could be some time before i can show you real progress, sry.

Was does that mean?

Was it something that I have done?
