no automation cars work in beam.ng

[ChocoJoply]

i know this is automation but every beam.ng car works tested it i reinstall both games edited cars but every time i spawn a car from the game it runs but doesn't rev or move and only steers left did i do something to automation that ruined all exports of automation cars?

A lot of changes have been made to the exporter. Try exporting a car without fixtures and without changing any advanced trim settings, then report back.

i just did a build that automation made itself with AI and it still doesn't work i might have bugged the game maybe i have to wait for a new fix to come out or it's beam.ng causing the issue

[Slim Jim]

Can you walk me through why you believe you "bugged" the game? What changes did you make that you think contributed to breaking things? A fresh install, I would imagine, should've cleared everything up. Have you tried clearing game saves and game cache? Are you on the latest Ellisbury update or using an older legacy version of the game?

ok so i did a ton of testing i can make the car move with beam.ng drive ai controls but it is constantly turnes left and i cant control brake or throttle that seems like the only issue

[Slim Jim]

I can't seem to replicate the issue. When I spawn an AutoBeam car and have the AI drive it, it drives as expected. Can you post a screenshot of your BeamNG's console immediately after the loading the car? https://documentation.beamng.com/modding/vehicle/intro_jbeam/debugtools/

There might be a clue in whatever errors are popping up as to why the car is behaving like that. If not, a short video would be even more helpful.

alright so maybe found problem there is no code when the car loads compared to beam.ng cars do you know how to fix that?

[Slim Jim]

I'm not sure what you mean by "no code". Can you give an example of a Beam.ng car code so I have something to compare it to?

[ChocoJoply]

when pressing ` it brings up the bugging tool in beam.ng but with the cars i made theirs no words or code in it

It's possible you may have filters on. Make sure everything in the top left corner (highlighted by a red box) is marked as visible like in this screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fzNPbUeFiXIanI-UspqK_eTbTCYrJwcj/view?usp=sharing

If your car is loading with errors, it should show up in the purple box section I highlighted. Make note of any errors and report back.

Can you try another link?

https://steamcommunity.com/id/JoplyJ1zzle/screenshot/2366147676031824949/ if that doesn't work ill try to find other ways i'm trying what i can sorry

[Slim Jim]

OK, the good news is the screenshot came up. It must've been Steam's weekly maintenance that caused it to be invisible at first. The better news is, there are no errors in the console - everything is showing up as it's supposed to.

This leads me to believe that whatever is going wrong with the car might have something to do with the way it was setup. Can you send me the .car file so I can take a look at it? (Please make sure there are few or no mods).

[ChocoJoply]

i'm not sure exactly how to i will as soon as i figure it out is there a way to just reset everything because it's become a huge mess i'm not sure what to try and i don't want to be a bother though i appreciate the help

[Slim Jim]

With a car selected, click the SAVE icon to export the .car file. Then click the FOLDER icon to open the folder where the .car file is saved. Upload the .car file to some kind of cloud (you can see I'm using Google Drive, but any file sharing service will do).

The image attached will show you where to click:

It's not a bother. All we're doing is taking a step-by-step approach to narrowing down the problem and then fixing it. :)
