only x axis +,- rotetion work other axis not working

[@SonuGupta-tb3vj]

firstly thank you so much for these trick, but I have one question how to make it work in every direction it only work in one direction translate

[@ngexointeractive9925]

You can make an axis (simple box) in the middle of the car and the wheel. Make a parenting of wheel and axis and other parent of axis and car. The rotation expression for the axis axis.rotation = steering wheel.rotatio, and wheel.rotation=car.translate. Now you can animate translation of the car and rotation of the axis at the same time.

Can we write expression all at once ?

[@dshaynietheawesome]

how do you account for any direction other than translate z?

[@wesk4646]

then what you need is getting the vector from its start position to the position it goes (representing the total distance your wheel has done), with your radius and this vector, you can guess the rotation needed. There are other tutorials on YT about this, one is about 17min long and is very nice

Hi. Select the frame, move your object and press S key
