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 -->


<!-- add on to the guide. Not done. -->
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.

 Creating your own cars is easy. Pull open a new map and put in a baseplate. It should look something like this.

 Lets 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.

 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.

 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. 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.

 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.

 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.
