How do you make a car with scripted gears. I have seen alot of them but cant figure out how to do it. Please Help

The key is to use different collision groups for different gears. Now since I haven't actually *built* a scripted gearbox before you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong...

There are two different (well, four actually) types of gear boxes--Completely scripted and script-mechanical. For script mechanical gears, I cannot fully explain it, so I'll have to upload an example scene to explain it.

Before I go off on some giant gearbox tangent, which kind do you want to make? Completely scripted/scripted mechanical? Auto/Manual?

I want a completely scripted manual shift without a clutch

Tadaaa...!

It should explain everything you need to do
If you have more questions, PM me.

the easiest way (with clutch) is to change the clutch collideset with lasers and give each gear another collideset.
i'll upload a scene soon.
edit: done.

I have just built a Thymechanical 6-speed manual transmission.
Press 0 to go into neutral, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to jump to that gear.
It is entirely collision-based and phunlet-friendly.

Let me know if you can't figure this out.

At some point, I may turn this into an RPM-controlled automatic transmission. But not now.

Thanks for all the help guys I was able to figure it out now.
