[PB API Request] Wheel API Expansion for Rovers and Autopilot
Not Enough Votes
Currently, building automated or follower rovers with scripts requires complex math fixes and manual code hacks to fix inverted steering and propulsion caused by symmetry building.
Key Issues:
- Flight-Only Autopilot: Remote Control autopilot only understands spaceship 6-axis flight, ignoring wheels, ground driving, and terrain.
- Inverted Wheel Controls: Wheels placed with symmetry turn toward each other or drive in opposite directions under script control because the API cannot identify which side of the rover a wheel is on.
- No Wheel Feedback: The API provides no data on tire contact or speed, which stops scripts from managing wheel spin, anti-lock braking, or off-road traction.
Feature Requests:
- Add a dedicated Rover/Ground Mode to Remote Control autopilot.
- Add simple wheel placement properties to the API (e.g., IsRightSide, IsRearAxle).
- Add wheel contact and speed data to the API (IsGrounded, TireRpm).
