Dynamic objects will not experience gravity unless affected by the environment.

They can bounce off other objects and slide against other objects. Dynamic objects and vehicles will obey the perceived laws of physics under normal conditions.

The engine is probably built in house since Renderware was mostly used for models and textures in these GTA games. These includes objects collisions and fluid dynamics.įrom Grand Theft Auto III up to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (excluding Grand Theft Auto Advance), their physics engines are most likely similar. By the first you enable people that they do things on their own and if this is done you always can support this by good docs/tutorials/examples but i really don't like these wizards for this those and that with ugly code below and the games i would be interestd in playing or making on my own also wouldn't rely on that.A physics engine is an approximate simulation of certain simple physical systems. I'm generally more a friend of well thought out design and functions instead of wizards. Again i would prefer good commands/concepts which enable me to do these things easily on my own instead of a car wizard with a bunch of code which soon won't fit the needs of your specific game as it's either way too complicate or doesn't fit your specific needs. I think this depends on how exact/specific general commands in unity are. It's just that I'm sooo impressed by Unity that this would be awesome to have in, buy for example a bunch of cars from, send them through the car wizard and have cars available in the game. Basically that's what I want, a big red 'Make GTA game' button. God no, please do not have the Unity guys make their engine focussing on one genre, I'm totally with you, Taumel! They're engine concept is perfect the way it is.īut what would be nice as *add-on* is a car content pack (taking the term 'content pack' from the GG community), a bit like the car wizard, that takes as input parameters the body mesh, door meshes, wheel meshes etc., has some input parameters like how many gears, horse power etc etc and generates the appropriate GameObject out of it that has a driving feeling like GTA. So basically yes, all other games run good too, but there's also a big market for racing games.īut what I originally meant was that a 'car pack' as Unity add-on would kind of sell 'well' as I think many developers demand this.Īnd I totally agree with you that Unity should not specizalice their engine into a car racing engine, no, I just meant that Unity has already all the basics included (other than Torque) that is needed to make good racing physics out of it. If you look at the top 7 online games on, 6 of them are racing games (see here). Click to expand.Hehe, well, I would not agree honestly
