Note: when working with the resource and Tweak bars, you may sometimes have to make them wider to get at the entries. By default the wizard sets the engine to NewCar (or Car if you are using Max), which is no longer used by the game. The reason we need to do this is because NewCar2 is a type of engine that was added to the game after the wizard was created. Look at the following screenshot for where to find these entries: Click on the box to the right and change this to 'NewCar2'.

Look about half-way down for the entry labeled 'EngineType'.

With 'zMotor' selected, go to the Tweak bar and expand the section labeled Physics.

(Max Users This will be labeled zMotor instead of My_Car_Engine.) You may have to expand my_car if you dont see it.

On the left side in the Resource bar, click on the line labeled My_Car_Engine.

Note: You may also have to press the Free button on the right side of the screen in order to be able to move the camera around again. As usual, press Escape to exit out of control mode and return the cursor to normal usage.We will now make a few additional settings that will fix our broken car. This is because there are a few things we need to fix that the wizard doesnt get right. The editor uses the default BF2 input scheme, so holding down W should make the car move forward, but it doesnt. (This will not work if the cursor is anywhere else) Move the cursor so that it is over the main window and press the Spacebar once.Otherwise you would just drive out of the screen and lose the car. This will make the camera in the editor follow the car wherever it goes. Click in this box and select Locked on target. Before doing anything else, find the drop-down box just below the Input button.This will allow us to control the car as if we were in the game. Click on the button labeled Input just above the previous button.You may see the car bounce a little bit as it settles on the springs we set up for the wheels. On the right side of the editor, scroll back up to the top and click on the button labeled Enable physics.This time click 'Done' to close it.Īt this point we have technically set up everything we need to get the car into the game, but lets take it for a test drive before we go any further. At this point you should be back to the initial wizard screen.A final 'Util Completed Successfully' notice will come up again.After making your selection, click 'OK' again.Since we had the checkboxes for all four wheels selected, this turns our car into a 4-wheel drive vehicle, which is fine for now. Note: This option is for wheels that are attached to the engine, like the drive wheels on a car. When youre done, choose 'P G FEngine G rip'. These are different kinds of wheels you can apply to your vehicle.
