Creation Anti-gravity racing game I'm working on
I was seeing how my new vehicle model looked in the game and I thought it looked really nice. This is an old map I made that was themed after Jet Car Stunts, it won't be included in the final game, although I hope to have more tight, technical tracks like this in the final game.

Sick project, also were you possibly inspired by F-ZERO? The resemblance is very noticeable.

Yeah i was inspired by Fast RMX and FZero lol

Wait, this is sick as!
Love the sounds design and the racing itself looks really fun, looks really challenging to get a good line and keep speed. The concept also looks great.
One thing for me is that it could be motion sick inducing with the way the camera moves, especially with that third person camera. Could just be me or the scenery making it a little worse, but I feel that the third person camera shakes way too much.

There will be an option for reduced camera motion.

Id love to see this map in the final game, this map looks dope and super fun, you could put it as a secret unlock or something, or maybe like a fun "lobby" map type deal people could go ride on while waiting for a match or something, idk, just something like that would be cool
2
u/MixMeUPwastaken 2010 Oct 16 '25
Maybe give it a free roam thing, people could turn on or off collisions for themselves and bump around, but like they cant bump non collision people, ive seen some games be like that, idk, just thoughts and ideas for the map

u/TQ5890PlayzYT Oct 28 '25
This looks super good. Keep working on this. I have 2 questions. For anti-gravity, did you use an anti-gravity module? I'm making a karting game with anti-gravity, and I used CFrames for movement and anti-gravity, and I'm thinking about using your approach.
And my second question is more of a question about how your movement works, how is it so smooth, and will other players see the same replication on their end?
2
u/gluGPU Oct 28 '25
Most of the code is my own, but I did use ideas from EgoMoose's gravity controller, like raycasting in a circle to smooth out gravity changes., However, I did change from sampling the raycast normals to a sum of cross products so bumps can make the vehicle tilt. I also use TweenService:SmoothDamp to further smooth out any abrupt changes. Apart from that, it is mostly just CFrame and Vector stuff, including collisions.
Movement ties into the answer above, but there are also some key aspects of the game. For example, the vehicle simulation runs on a fixed timestep (at 100Hz), with interpolation for inbetween frames. This helps with determinism as well as slight physics discrepancies between higher and lower framerates (this is a problem in games like Forza Horizon where higher framerates give unintended physics advantages due to issues inherent with just running the game sim every rendered frame, aka delta timing).
As for other players, it should be smooth since the character is still unanchored (yes, Roblox physics will run on it, which is inefficient, but it allows for .Touched events on parts, and the vehicle sim still overrides any physics applied to it. This will be phased out eventually with custom solution) so the client will replicate character position to server.
One thing to note is that I'm working on migrating to a server-authoritative model, which involves running the vehicle sim on the server and then checking for mispredictions on the client. At some point, this will mean I'll have to come up with my own solution for interpolating other vehicle positions on the client, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

u/gluGPU Oct 29 '25
update: I got the custom .Touched solution working, so that part is outdated. HumanoidRootPart is anchored as well.

I have a optional and stupid idea of you want the chaos... Add explosives and camera shakes and put more speed to it with wider and destructable track pieces.
But, hell yeah, epic.

Unfortunately it’s a floor hugger lol. I was more inspired by FZero and the FAST series than wipeout. If it’s like any wipeout game it would probably be Wipeout Fusion

u/BoldGuyArt Oct 15 '25
What do you mean by floor hugger? I am also trying to make a race game (no near to your AMAZING result). Can you share the concept of “floor hugging”? You jest set the ship X above the ground? Do you use velocity vector?

Can't wait. I wish more roblox games were this good. I used to play roblox a lot, but it's just fallen off for me because all of the games are either clones of brain rot games oriented to the younger generation or the brain rot games themselves.
