Wiremod help
My current project in Gmod is building a weaponized army jeep, but I want to do it properly. None of that thrusters ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just Sprops and Wiremod.

I've build a steering rack for the front wheels, but I'm having issues with the vehicle controller. I want to connect the Steering function to a wire wheel that will turn the steering rack, but it refuses to connect directly. My limited knowlege of wiremod means I don't know of any workarounds, and the internet supplies either outdated videos, or the previously mentioned thruster BS.

Any ideas?

go on youtube and you want to find a video learning how to install ACF. it takes a couple minutes using a program called tortoiise or something like that, Armored Combat Frameworks(ACF) has everything from engines to gearbox's and guns to cannons, takes a bit to learn but once you do you can build gun mounted cars,tanks,other crazy stuff, i even make fairground rides with it.

add me if you need

He's asking how to make his car turn, not power it.

There's SetAng E2's for that, I can supply you with one but I won't be able to teach you how to use it until I get my laptop next week.

There's ways to do it with thrusters that's legitimate, what you can do is get a plate/rod and axis the center of it to the bottom of your chassis/jeep, then put 1 thruster on each end on each side, and then add elastics on each end and that's to return the steering back to its original position.

The thrusters essentially try to 'spin' a rod that is ballsocketed to your wheels, and a 35 degree ballsocket lock prevents it from spinning, and the elastics return it to facing forward.

Me explaining it may be pointless, here's a video.

There's also hydrualic steering that does the same thing.

Feel free to add me and I can help once I get the laptop.
can you guys tell me how do I make sure that wheel turns because I cannot get it working please tell me how do I make the system about wheels and how to change direction of them without pressing E
