{{Sucks|reason=There's a few broken images on this page. Well okay i'm probably exaggerating when i say few.}}
Have you ever wanted to create a car from scratch using [[RBX.lua.VehicleSeat (Object)|VehicleSeats]]?  VehicleSeats can make any object move with no scripting involved.  You don't have to learn Lua to make cars anymore!  This tutorial will explain how!
__TOC__
== How VehicleSeats Work ==
VehicleSeats work by finding all of the hinges in a model.  Using all of the hinges in a model, the vehicleseat rotates the parts with the hinges so that the car moves.  The game does all of the hard work for you, leaving you to build magnificent cars!
== How Do I Use VehicleSeats? ==
A VehicleSeat acts as a part, or a seat to be more specific.  When you sit in a VehicleSeat, a signal gets sent that moves the car when you move. It's an amazing system to make a simple car.
== Lets Make A Car! ==
As you can see, making cars is easy with VehicleSeats.  You must have a basic knowledge of building, though.  To make a car, just follow these easy steps! <br/> <!-- adding table with steps and pictures -->

Creating Cars using [[RBX.lua.VehicleSeat (Object)|VehicleSeat]] objects is actually really easy. There are certain building methods you need to use, or you can use the cars straight from the [[Insert Menu]]. This tutorial will show you how to use VehicleSeats yourself, so that you can build awesome cars that you design.

This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: There's a few broken images on this page. Well okay i'm probably exaggerating when i say few.


Creating Cars using VehicleSeat objects is actually really easy. There are certain building methods you need to use, or you can use the cars straight from the Insert Menu. This tutorial will show you how to use VehicleSeats yourself, so that you can build awesome cars that you design.

Creating your own cars is easy. Pull open a new map and put in a baseplate. It should look something like this
File:Vehicle seat tutorial2.png
Let's grab the parts we need out of the Insert Menu. You're going to need 4 of the blue wooden wheels, and one of the rectangle blocks. The wooden one looks nice
File:Vehicle seat tutorial3.png
That wooden block there isn't big enough for us to use, select the blue Resize tool and make it big enough that it looks like a car. The size in the picture works well, it is 4 studs wide by 11 studs long
File:Vehicle seat tutorial4.png
Now we can start attaching parts. At the top of the screen select the Hinge tool and left click on the insides of the blue wheels. They should look just like the picture now, with the little yellow peg sticking out of the center.

Next we attach the wheels to the car. Make sure the wheels are all touching the baseplate, then slide them so that they are up next to the wooden block. You shouldn't be able to see the yellow pegs at all anymore. Make sure that there is still space underneath the block and the ground, it shouldn't be touching. Now you have your tires attached to your car!

Next we're going to add in the VehicleSeat, which controls the car. Using the Object Insert menu, which you can open by clicking on insert at the top of the screen. Then when you see this box open scroll to the right and select the VehicleSeat. Hit OK.

Your VehicleSeat will appear somewhere. You can find it by selecting the Move On Axis tool, the orange arrows. It might even show up underneath your car! Place at the front of your vehicle, such as between the front two wheels.
File:Vehicle seat tutorial9.png
Now we need to make sure that seat faces forward. You can't drive a car sideways! The easiest way to do this is to put a hinge on the front side of the VehicleSeat and then point that forward. Make sure you have the VehicleSeat selected (with the blue box around it) and then look in the Properties Window. You may have to scroll down to see it, but look for the section that says "Surface", and the look for "Front Surface". It looks like what you see in the picture. Click to the box on the right of "Front Surface", it will give you a drop-down menu list of different things. Select Hinge. You'll see that yellow peg appear on the front of the seat.
File:Vehicle seat tutorial10.png
Now all you need to do is rotate that VehicleSeat around so that the yellow peg points forward, like a headlight on a car. Once you've done that, your vehicle is all done and ready to be driven around!
File:Vehicle seat tutorial11.png
Hop in and have fun driving your car around! You will see a blue bar in the screen telling you how fast you're going. There are a few property options that you can set, such as how fast you want the maximum speed to be, or how fast the car can turn. You can see these properties on the VehicleSeat page.
