    Default Desperate help needed

    Ok, I have a problem...

    Firstly, hi all!!

    Ok, I am making a 3D game, It consists of a miniture globe with a road going
    all the way around it, along with a user controlled car. I have added some
    links to some images to show what i am making, of course, the world is not
    finished yet, but i am looking to address my problem before i carry on with the
    modelling.

    As you can see, my scene in 3DS Max, and to test things so far, i have
    imported the scene file into director, and everything is set up ok, however,
    now i need to make the car stick to the road, so when the user presses the
    control keys (accelerate for example) the car will drive along the road, i.e -
    stick to it.

    So far, i have added the controls and everything, but i cannot get the car to
    stick to the road surface, the car just flies off in a straight line into the
    distance.

    I am really stuck on this one guys, i would really appreciate any help, i just
    don't know what lingo to use. Someone told me about using a spring from the
    ChromeLibs tools i think it was, but i can't get this to work properly :(

    Can anyone help?

    Have a look in the Havok Extra Lingo Ref. Guide. You'll find a mention of
    gravity.

    havok.gravity
    Syntax havok.gravity
    Access Get/Set
    Description
    This property holds the current force of gravity for the simulation. You
    specify gravity
    display units, so you need to be careful when setting it up. If using a scale
    factor of
    1.0 (i.e. meters) then gravity should be (0, -9.81, 0) to act appropriately
    (assuming
    positive Y is up).
    Example
    The following Lingo example displays the current gravity before changing it.
    put havok.gravity
    -- vector( 0, 0, -386.22 )
    Havok Xtra Lingo Reference Guide
    Copyright ? 2000/2001 Havok.com Inc. 3
    havok.gravity = vector( 0, 0, -100 )
    put havok.gravity
    -- vector( 0, 0, -100.0 )

    I dont know if itll be any use to you, but I believe it to be the answer you
    are looking for.
