demo.mp4

This is a CS2 cs_script to help create vehicles with minimal map setup

A demo map with vehicles is in maps folder

Features

• You can create vehicles without any entity I/O
• You can have as many seats and place them where you want
• You can choose to ignore thruster of one or more directions
• Support for wheeled vehicles
• Support for steering wheels and similar
• Player is forced out of vehicle if another player tries to enter
• Input/Output interface

For updated script and more features, feel free to contact me

Map Setup

These entities must be placed in the map

Important

• You must either include a vehicle-specific prefix (i.e., {vehicle name}_) in the name of every vehicle/seat-specific entity or create a prefab containing all such entities without prefixes
• Remember to set parents of entities as needed

• point_script: To load the script

  Property	Value
  cs_script	scripts/vscripts/func_vehicle.vjs

• func_tracktrain: Used as a floor for seats to prevent weapon spread

  Property	Value
  Name	func_vehicle_floor
  Brush	a 32x32 (maybe less is needed) face with material tools/playerclip
  Solidity	Always Solid

• point_template: Used to dynamically spawn seat floors and collision pair entities

  Property	Value
  Name	func_vehicle_template
  Template 1	seat floor entity
  Template 2...	collision pair entities

Wheels

• logic_collision_pair: Used to disable collisions between occupant and vehicle wheels

  Property	Value
  Attachment 1	vehicle wheel name/pattern
  Support multiple entities with same name	✅ (if using a pattern)
  Include Hierarchy	✅
  Start with collisions disabled	✅

Vehicle

• Any VPhysics entity: Vehicle body

  Property	Value
  Name	body

• phys_thruster/phys_torque (optional): Used to move the vehicle forward/backward

  Property	Value
  Name	forward

• phys_thruster/phys_torque (optional): Used to move the vehicle right/left

  Property	Value
  Name	right

Information Entities

Entities used to provide vehicle- and seat-specific information to the script

Steering

You can add any number of entities you want or none that rotate around their axes on steering, this is necessary for tires and can allow for other entities like steering wheels

Property	Value
Name	steer
Parent	steering entity
Use Local Transform	✅
Local Angles	Deviation on steering right

Wheels

• Any VPhysics entity: Wheels
• func_tracktrain (optional): Used as an angular constraint anchor for steering wheels to steer

  Property	Value
  Name	see here
  Parent	vehicle body
  Spawnflags	passable
  Brush	anything with any invisible texture

• Any angular constraint: Used to constarint steering wheels to angular anchor, only constraint x-axis and z-axis amgular motion

  Property	Value
  Attachment 1	angular anchor
  Attachment 2	wheels
  Treat Entity 1 as Infinite Mass	✅
  No Collision Until Break	✅

• Any linear constraint: Used to constarint steering wheels to angular anchor, constraint all linear motion and set no collision until break
• phys_hinge (optional): Used to constarint non-steering wheels to vehicle body, set hinge axis to wheel's side and set no collision until break
• logic_collision_pair (optional): Used to disable collisions between vehicle wheels and body hierarchies

  Property	Value
  Attachment 1	vehicle body
  Attachment 2	vehicle wheel(s) name/pattern
  Support multiple entities with same name	✅
  Include Hierarchy	✅

Seats

• func_button: Used to enter vehicle into that seat, each seat should have a number where seat 0 is the driver's seat

  Property	Value
  Name	seat{seat number}_button

• Any entity: Entity whose origin is at the bottom of where the player should be when occupying that seat

  Property	Value
  Name	seat{seat number}_in

• Any entity (optional): Entity whose origin is at the bottom of where the player should be when unoccupying that seat

  Property	Value
  Name	seat{seat number}_out

Input/Output Interface

• OnUser1 is fired at seat*_in on entering, activator is the player
• OnUser2 is fired at seat*_in on exiting, activator is the player

Current Limitations

• Vehicle will immediately slow down on touching any non-occupant player
• Vehicle collision doesn't damage occupants
• Driver orientation doesn't follow vehicle pitch and roll unless vehicle is considered undrivable due to its orientation being at specific roll and/or pitch, so driver can appear out of vehicle
• Driver doesn't follow the vehicle smoothly unless vehicle is considered undrivable
• Weapon spread
• All vehicles can rotate with same torque at any velocity
• Can't drive on a seat that goes through the ground
