BeamNG Drive Tutorial - AI Script Timing Adjustments - How to play beamng drive

[@SanaaTek]

For years, I've not liked BeamNg drive all because I had no idea how to do all these fun things, I've watched many videos from different channels, yet I didn't comprehend because, they will never tell you the combinations of keys they are using, thanks to your channel , I'm now loving BeamNg drive, because your tutorials are as clear as the sun 🌞. Thanks and God bless you.

[@SimonPageVideo]

AHHH! Thank you. Pressing J so stop the playback was the key I couldn't work out! Thank you for the answer - excellent tutorial.

[@havocng]

Imagine if this crash was done over & over in real life by Hollywood stunt men, no 2 crashes would ever be identical, the same is true with BeamNG due to subtle AI adjustments in each run resulting in a different crash each time, if you want the crash to be idtencal each time, then you can simply record it. Great tutorial as usual, you are the Morgan Freeman of the BeamNG community..

[@davidinark]

That makes perfect sense! I have to admit I’ve never been put together with Morgan Freeman. Thank you so much for the compliment!!

[@Apollo-Animations]

Here's my method, so I record the movement for car 1, then once being done I'd pause the game (J) then record car 2 replay car 1, then I'd proceed to crash car two into car 1, and that folks is how you time it perfectly.

[@davidinark]

So, you’re recording car two while the game is paused? I’m afraid I’d have to see a video of how that’s done.

[@jackdoesnotplaytrumpet]

your voice is so calming and you explain stuff really well

[@Traxxmaxx3425]

Never found a more helpful video. Well done! BTW, just stopping the recording and playing will automatically restart the vehicles :)

[@vrynstudios]

The same scenario does not happen, probably the AI slightly adjusts the steering / speed during the drive. A slight movement in the steering completely changes the outcome. Just my thought. But, BeamNG could give a perfect reply.

[@petermeter3942]

beam ng is a pretty crazy physik simulation it does wind, tire flex, suspension simualtions and so on. There are so many factors the crash cant be the same everytime

[@jubilantjoshua]

Thank you so much, this video is so so helpful! I was able to make some awesome crashes with this tool! I do have one question, I have the display paths checked but the paths never show! Do you have any advice? Thanks again!

[@scottporter4524]

Thank you!! This is exactly what I've been looking to learn how to do. You did an excellent job explaining everything.

[@davidinark]

You are so welcome! Glad I could help out! :-)

[@GeoBot_Gaming]

Thanks, really helps, going from dinos vids to this.. man, you really made my day 👍

[@davidinark]

So glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@zenksn2402]

Dude you explain very well! You help me so much. Keep doing this

[@Gallo_Baja]

thank you for this! i didn't know this was even possible, it would be awesome for the AI to do exactly what i did when i recorded it tho

[@spirate7182]

Very good video I'm starting to make beam ng videos and this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@ryry47ftw]

Thank u finally an updated tutorial good video man!

[@cherry-boss]

That's awesome tutorial, that's what i needed.

[@Stewbacca3]

Thanks David for a very clear and detailed guide. This shows the variables at play in the sim that gives different outcomes. If you have lots of vehicles in a scene is there a way to globally reset all vehicles back to their starting points?

[@davidinark]

Heya! I believe you can use Shift-R to reset all the vehicles back to their starting positions at once.

[@tossterx]

Great video! Can you change cars using the same path? or you have to record the path if you want to change to a new car?

[@davidinark]

I need to try it, but I believe so. The issue would be the timing will be off due to the acceleration of the different vehicles. Of course, then the timing could be tweaked… I need to try that!

[@crashbandit7270]

Earned a like for the awesome knowledge !

[@davidinark]

Much appreciated!

[@alex7yd82n]

It dosent let me drive the car while in editor mode

[@Aldibar]

I'm thinking it's about time for another BeamNG update. Fingers crossed for more precise AI control!

[@davidinark]

I figure maybe an update around Easter or in May. They’ve really cut back on major update releases.

[@Aldibar]

@@davidinark At this rate we'll get a full game release in what ... 2050? 😒😃

[@Bman-wm4ib]

@@Aldibar we will NEVER get a full release its just one of those games that they will never quit working on

[@Aldibar]

@@Bman-wm4ib As long as the updates are included with the price I paid for the game I'm okay with that! 😄

[@Gizliden_Gizliye690]

Sir, when we set everything up, recorded everything, closed the interface by pressing F11, I could not find how to move the vehicles with the button, I am waiting for your help, sir.

[@Gizliden_Gizliye690]

Sir, I couldn't find which key to press on the keyboard when we want to continue the repetition while playing the game.

[@CH1L1B0MB3N]

i have a question, how do i delete saved paths?

[@wagnertatagiba]

@davidinark , how do you activate slow motion like in 14:00 ? Thanks for the tutorial !

[@davidinark]

Hold ALT and tap the left arrow to slow, tap right to speed up. It will cycle so keep tapping to go slower and slower, etc.

[@bingchilindotnogo]

How do you know what I need?! Thank you so much for this video!! Awesome!

[@davidinark]

Glad I could help right when you needed it! :-)

[@FrancSchiphorst]

A bit late but the AI cars you can spawn have a risk factor of 0.3, setting this to 2 makes for fun rides in Italy on the coast but that will add a bit of random to trafic. This might be the same for this video's ai cars. Not sure if you can set risk to 0.0 for these, that might change the randomness.

[@vesei_]

Awesome tutorial! thank you so much

[@gcsm12]

Is there a way you can see other recordings while you are recording? Like for a highway scene I want to see other cars so I don’t rear end the other recordings

[@davidinark]

Wow. That is a GREAT question! I'm not sure, but you could TRY using the TAB key to change between vehicles while the script is running. I'm just not sure that would work. Another option might be to switch to "free cam" (Shift-C) and pan around, but driving your vehicle while also trying to move the camera around could prove VERY hard to maintain control. haha! If I get a sec, I will try this and see if I can come up with a viable solution.

[@gcsm12]

@davidinark I found out you can pause the game and play the other recordings while you record another one. Thanks for answering though 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rhtorres]

Great instructions sir!

[@gideyo]

Thank you sooo much for this tutorial! 😁

[@isaacdurst870]

having an issue with the delay system, think it is broken as of new update because i will set a delay at 5 seconds. and the car does not wait and instantly goes, i follow everything you do, i got it to work a few times but then it will just bug out and instant drive, however i found that speeding up the time works and can deal with the issue, however it is much better to use both, is there any chance i am using the tool incorrectly or is it just a bug and im gonna have to wait

[@DeWorDeR]

Dude do u know any way to make AI traffic to move in my made map using my choised route? I made offroad map and i would really like to have a somehow badly working traffic in there, but i have no clue how to make one so maybe anyone in here knows these things more? :) Thanks!

[@SceptiKalmannsSandbox]

I'm currently making a 3 laps race on Hirochi, I scripted 4 AI, the fifth is tricky between them, when I want to adjust delay, it becomes worse. Same with 7 AI scripted on the road of Johnson Valley .

[@sauraplay2095]

Nice tutorial!👍

[@Alnex123]

thanks your explanation is very good.

[@plesty]

Thanks man!

thank you

How do you do this for aircraft? It's not working for me

[@Mr.Toakicoaster]

beamng needs to add an "unloop all" button!

[@davidinark]

YES!!

[@Insomnialennsomnia]

Thank you!

[@earthtokarson]

you can also use the replay ui app so its the same every time

[@davidinark]

Kinda. You’re right, the playback would be the same with replay, but you can’t control any of the cars. With scripting, you can still control your vehicle.

[@arciarcibald1508]

you have great voice

[@Dshotgaming007]

how do i save all these for later use

Can someone tell me how to fix the speed of a car like colliding 2 cars to wall at 5okm paer hour like car pal

A tecla J não da play, alguém me ajuda a ajustar isso?

[@GolfWithYourFriendz]

You do not have to press reset vehicle on every car you just need to press play all and they will all go back to the beginning and start there

[@safersacc401]

Thx!

Where to get water speed bump

[@xtranightgaming]

What is that yellow ballon

[@FoxBird247]

if only the Ai scripting would record the input of the vehicle instead of the path it take. i feel like the path you want it to do would be more accurate

[@davidinark]

I agree! Often, I want the speed, angles of attack, etc, and not just the path. Plus, if it would track the inputs, we could set up real-life crashes to study how the vehicles reacted, possible escape points, etc.

[@cemilcrrk113]

when i start recording i cant drive the car cause game is paused

[@the_true_carwrecker9]

Press J

[@arrived255]

how do we go into free cam without driving and moving the car 😭

[@davidinark]

Create the path as normal, then while the car is driving the path in regular gameplay, hit the free cam and move around. But, I am not sure if you can record the path while in free cam. I have not tried that...

[@GoodFlower8]

My path is not wrking

[@CYN_FAN12]

I some how broke it and now I can’t record a vehicle,beamng needs to fix it

[@officialjhw7962]

F11 doesnt work all it does is turn up my volume

[@davidinark]

Sounds like your computer may have alternate key mappings. Do you have a Fn key on your keyboard? If so, hold that while you tap the F11 key to if that activates the World Editor.
