How to make your first car for newbies

[TroZy]

This is my first tutorial, and yes, it is more for newbies if you ask me. Tell me what you think about this tutorial.

AND NOW
1.The advanced pod controller wire tool is a good tool for creating vehicles, or mouse-aimed turrets, and some other stuff I haven't gone into yet. You can assign components controls, like you could link a grabber's "Grab" to the Pod Controller's "mouse1"

2.To make a car, I advise making a chassis, and maybe the bodywork if you want.

3.Spawn a jeep seat, and put it somewhere on the car where you have decent visibility.

4.Create a Wire Adv Pod Controller and link it to the the jeep seat (not wiring) by right-clicking on the Adv Pod, and then right-clicking on the car seat. Linking them enables control of the Adv Pod Controller.

5.Then create four (or possibly three or five or something) wire wheels so that you can control the wheels with the Pod Controller.

6.For steering, I use wire thrusters, although there probably is something better than that, and for the REAL newbies, while looking down on your unfinished materpiece, put a wire thruster at top-left side, and/or on the bottom right side to steer right, to steer left, put wire thrusters, on the top-right side, and/or the bottom-left side.

Optional components:

1.Wire turrets with lots of firepower, high powered wire thrusters at the back for boost, wire igniters at the front to.... ignite things.

2. A speedometer, components required are the speedometer, and display- Screen, the screen must have only one value called MPH.

Wiring!
1.Wire the wheels' "go" to "W" on the Adv Pod Controller, so that when you press "w", the vehicle moves, or tries to move. If it doesn't move, put a low powered or medium powered wire thruster on the back and wire that to "W" on the Adv Pod Controller.

2.Wire the wheels' "break" to "S" on the Adv Pod, I don't think it makes it reverse, only slow down. For reversing just put a few thrusters with low power at the front.

3.Wire the top-left and/or the bottom-right thruster to the "D" on the Adv Pod.

4.Wire the top-right and/or the bottom-left thruster to the "A" on the Adv Pod, this and the previous step are for steering of course.

5.If you have turrets or weapons, wire their "fire" or whatever you think activates them on Adv Pod Conts' various inputs such as mouse 1, or mouse 2 or even shift.

6.If you made a wire thruster for going at 200MPH at the back of your vehicle, wire that thruster to the Adv Pod Cont's "Shift", so that when you press shift, you will probably be crashing into a wall in five seconds.

7. If you want a speedometer, wire the screen's "A" to the speedometer's "MPH". (this probably just outputs the speed in MPH it is traveling at) You can also use KPH and if you want a whole number instead of decimals, use the Arithmetic-Round gate and wire the screen to that gate, then wire the gate to the speedometer.

NOTE: IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ARITHMETIC-ROUND GATE FOR YOUR SPEEDOMETER MAKE SURE YOU UNCHECKED "Use bigger font for single-value screen" OR THE NUMBERS WILL GO OUT OF THE SCREEN.

Testing!
Hop into your jeep seat, use WASD to move, and you should know if you added in extras.
