Details 详细
The wheel's collision detection is performed by casting a ray from Center downwards through the local Y-axis. The wheel has a Radius and can extend downwards according to the Suspension Distance. The vehicle is controlled from scripting using different properties: motorTorque, brakeTorque and steerAngle. See the Wheel Collider scripting reference for more information.
车轮的碰撞检测。通过自身Y轴的中心向下,投射一条射线。车轮有一个半径并可向下延伸,相对于悬挂距离。车轮从脚本使用不同的属性控制:motorTorque(动力力矩),brakeTorque(制动力矩)和steerAngle(转向角)。参见车轮碰撞器脚本参考,查看更多信息。
The Wheel Collider computes friction separately from the rest of physics engine, using a slip-based friction model. This allows for more realistic behaviour but also causes Wheel Colliders to ignore standard Physic Material settings.
车轮碰撞器从物理引擎静止分开计算摩擦力,使用基于滑动摩擦力模型。这将得到更真实的行为,但也导致车轮碰撞器忽略标准的物理学材质设置。
Wheel collider setup 车轮碰撞器设置
You do not turn or roll WheelCollider objects to control the car - the objects that have WheelCollider attached should always be fixed relative to the car itself. However, you might want to turn and roll the graphical wheel representations. The best way to do this is to setup separate objects for Wheel Colliders and visible wheels:
不转或滚WheelCollider物体来控制轿车,附加WheelCollider的物体应始终相对轿车自身固定。但是,你可能想要转或滚图形轮。要做到这一点的最好办法是分别设置物体的碰撞器和可见的车轮。
Wheel Colliders are separate from visible Wheel Models
车轮碰撞器从可见的车轮模型分开。
Collision geometry 碰撞器几何结构
Because cars can achieve large velocities, getting race track collision geometry right is very important. Specifically, the collision mesh should not have small bumps or dents that make up the visible models (e.g. fence poles). Usually a collision mesh for the race track is made separately from the visible mesh, making the collision mesh as smooth as possible. It also should not have thin objects - if you have a thin track border, make it wider in a collision mesh (or completely remove the other side if the car can never go there).
因为车辆能实现比较大的速度,创建比较合理的碰撞几何结构比较重要。具体来说,赛道(collision mesh)碰撞网格,不应该有小的凹凸不平,通常赛道的网格可见网格分开来制作。在弯道设计的时候有点要注意,由于离心力的影响,弯道外侧要比内侧高一些,这样做使车辆更容易转弯。

Wheel Friction Curves 车轮的摩擦力曲线
Tire friction can be described by the Wheel Friction Curve shown below. There are separate curves for the wheel's forward (rolling) direction and sideways direction. In both directions it is first determined how much the tire is slipping (based on the speed difference between the tire's rubber and the road). Then this slip value is used to find out tire force exerted on the contact point.
轮胎摩擦力由下图的车轮摩擦力曲线描述。车轮向前方向(滚动方向)和侧面方向有单独的曲线。在两个方向上,首先确定多少轮胎滑动(在轮胎橡胶和路面之间,基于不同的速度)。然后,slip值用来找出施加到接触点轮胎力。
The curve takes a measure of tire slip as an input and gives a force as output. The curve is approximated by a two-piece spline. The first section goes from (0 , 0) to (ExtremumSlip , ExtremumValue), at which point the curve's tangent is zero. The second section goes from (ExtremumSlip , ExtremumValue) to (AsymptoteSlip , AsymptoteValue), where curve's tangent is again zero:
该曲线使用轮胎滑移作为输入并输出一个力。该曲线近似由两段曲线构成。第一段从(0,0)到(extremumSlip, extremumValue)到(asymptoteSlip, asymptoteValue),这里曲线的切线再次为零。
车轮模型可分解为横向(侧面)和纵向(滚动方向)。对于每一种方向而言,均存在一种曲线,能够显示车轮和地面间的滑度与所形成的力度之间的关联情况。这种曲线与下图中的曲线较为相似:
Typical shape of a wheel friction curve
车轮摩擦力曲线图
The property of real tires is that for low slip they can exert high forces, since the rubber compensates for the slip by stretching. Later when the slip gets really high, the forces are reduced as the tire starts to slide or spin. Thus, tire friction curves have a shape like in the image above.
真实的轮胎属性是较慢的滑动将获得较高的力因为橡胶通过拉伸补偿滑动,然后当滑动变的较高时,这个力被减小因为轮胎开始滑动或旋转。因此轮胎摩擦力曲线具有上图所示的形状。
在横向上,Slip Angle(滑角)被用作输入,而在纵向上,Slip Ratio(滑率)被用作输入。您指定这些曲线的方式是提供本示意图所示两点的坐标,参照为"Extremum(极值)"和"Asymtote(渐近线)"。Extremum(极值)指的是最大外力的点位,而Asymtote(渐近线)点位提供了无限滑动时的输出值。每个点位处的切线均视为平滑,然后在它们之间放置一个立体样条,从而确定曲线的最终形状。
-
Extremum Slip/Value 极值Curve's extremum point. 曲线的极值点。
-
Asymptote Slip/Value 渐近线值Curve's asymptote point. 曲线的渐近线点。
-
Stiffness 刚度Multiplier for the Extremum Value and Asymptote Value (default is 1). Changes the stiffness of the friction. Setting this to zero will completely disable all friction from the wheel. Usually you modify stiffness at runtime to simulate various ground materials from scripting.
极值和渐近线值倍增默认为1。改变摩擦的刚度。设置这个参数为0,将完全禁用车辆的所有摩擦力。通常你在运行时修改脚本来模拟各种地面材质的刚度。
Hints 提示
- You might want to decrease physics timestep length in Time Manager to get more stable car physics, especially if it's a racing car that can achieve high velocities.
您可能想要在时间管理器上减少在的物理时间步长,得到更稳定的赛车的物理, 特别是如果一辆赛车,可以达到很高的速度。 - To keep a car from flipping over too easily you can lower its Rigidbody center of mass a bit from script, and apply "down pressure" force that depends on car velocity.
为了防止汽车太容易翻过来,可以从脚本降低它的刚体质量中心,并应用“下压”的力,这取决于车辆的速度。
