In essence, scripted vehicles rely on Lua and quite a bit of math to pull off realistic flight or wheeled-movement. It looks complex when you don't know what you're doing, but once you actually learn how to make your basic items, get an understanding of the engine's physics, and then learn scripting, it all clicks. I recommend that you just start modding simple things and gradually work on more complex mods, learn scripting at a comfortable pace, and you'll be able to make your own vehicles.

Just experiment and have fun, you don't need to rush at the things higher up. You'll get to them with time.

hmm, alright, I get what you are saying....

but tell me just this one thing.. the wheels, you say it required math to pull off the physics, so that was all done with Lua script then? The wheels and the attachments were all done by Lua?
