Start by filling in the rear center gap, and adding another 6-way to it. Move onto to the next tutorial to continue adding even more advanced options to your vehicle, such as Thrusters, Weapons, Magnets and Joints.įrom Basic to Intermediate Adding articulation and weaponsĪs we continue into the Intermediate steps, we will be adding an articulated extension to our basic vehicle, increasing it's speed and suspension strength, and placing 2x cannons on top. Attach this to the front 6-way piece we added in the step above. To add the plow, go to the Utility category, and choose the plow object. We can add a plow object to the front of the vehicle, but first we'll need to add a 6-way connector piece between the front pieces: Place these wheels at the front suspension pieces of the vehicle, like so: Go to the Wheels category, and choose the same wheel from Step 5 in the previous table, only adding them to the rear of the vehicle this time.įor adding a wheel that steers, we now have 2 different options as of Version 0.109, Steering Large Wheel, or Combo Large Wheel.įor this tutorial, we'll stick to using the 'classic' Steering Large Wheel, but if you wanted to make your vehicle a Four Wheel Drive, you can use the Combo Large Wheel instead. We can now re-add the wheels back, but this time we'll add 2 different types of wheels. Now click the Side suspension piece, and attach them to the sides of the cab where the previous wheels were, like so: You can do this by highlighting the wheels, and press or Del to remove them.


To add this to our existing vehicle, we'll have to delete the wheels we placed in the previous tutorial. Move onto to the next tutorial to continue adding some more advanced options to your vehicle, such as Steering Wheels, Suspension, and a Plow! It's a good idea to save our creation by opening the Vehicle menu (shotcut key: V) and pressing Save Vehicle. Use to move Forwards, Backwards, Left and Right. Now test your creation by pressing Spacebar, or by going to the top menu bar, and pressing Play. Place these wheels at the front and rear of the sides of the vehicle, like so: Select the Wheel category and choose Powered Large Wheel. For this tutorial, we'll add simple powered wheels to get our vehicle moving. Learn more about camera options here: Camera controlįrom here, we have a few options on adding motion. We use the 6-Way pieces in order to prepare for adding more detail later. Hold your Right Mouse Button and drag to orbit the camera around the highlighted piece. We can extend the sides further by placing a few more 6-Way splits. Now we'll chose the 6-Way piece, and attach one to the sides of the cab, like so: Make sure you have Mirroring enabled (shortcut key: M), as this will save a lot of time, and most vehicles that we create are mirrored.

You can watch this video from the player below, or on YouTube. Each new part unlocks countless new possibilities, and you'll also unlock numerous pre-built vehicles that highlight the unlocked parts and provide inspiration for further experimentation.TakovacsPlays has created a video guide for these first 2 sections of Basics. Using an intuitive vehicle construction system that also lets you customize your vehicles' appearance and controls, you'll always have fun creating your next awesome invention.įrom simple splitters and joints to fully-simulated treads and ropes, a large variety of parts are available to start the game, while more advanced parts (like giant chainsaws and rocket thrusters) unlock by playing the game. Each element of the world complements the destruction system and interacts with each other and together they create a physical, visceral world to play with.īuild a vehicle your way, with an ever-expanding array of parts and pieces. The game also features an advanced GPU-driven particle system and GPU-driven grass and surface rocks. You can demolish every structure in the game piece by piece thanks to a fully interactive physics system, and every object in the world interacts with the destruction in some way. Instruments of Destruction features an advanced physics-based destruction system.
