This project is a custom vehicle physics demo built entirely using Blueprints in Unreal Engine 5.7.
It demonstrates a fully simulated stagecoach style vehicle driven by force-based movement, custom suspension, damping, and stabilization logic.
The setup consists of multiple physically simulated rigid bodies including a chariot and two horses, connected via physics constraints.
No Chaos Vehicles, Modular Vehicle System, or Wheeled Vehicle components are used.
All physics behavior is implemented using standard Unreal Engine physics, raycasts, forces, and torques. Suspension damping is calculated per suspension point using compression delta, avoiding world-space velocity. This project is a TPOC (technical proof of concept) prototype intended for experimentation and reference.
If you are interested in custom vehicle physics, suspension systems, or force-driven movement logic, this project serves as a clean and extensible reference.
If you encounter any bugs or crashes, please open an issue in this repository.
For questions or suggestions, you can always contact me.
If you would like to contribute, feel free to open a pull request.
- Blueprint-only implementation
- Fully simulated connected rigid bodies
- Custom raycast-based suspension system
- Spring and damping forces with stabilization
- Gyroscopic torque-based rotation control
- Async Physics Tick usage
- No Chaos Vehicles or Modular Vehicle systems
- Designed for experimentation and extension
1- Clone or download the project from GitHub and generate project files.
2- Open the project in your IDE and build it.
3- Open the project in Unreal Engine 5.7.
4- Make sure Async Physics Tick is enabled in project settings.
5- Play In Editor and experiment with the vehicle behavior.
All main logic can be found inside the custom Pawn and Suspension Component Blueprints.
Suspension components are placed around the vehicle and used as force application points.
Gyroscopic stabilization and force-based movement are applied during the physics tick.
- W / S : Forward and backward
- A / D : Steering
- Mouse : Camera look
