VehicleSeats are Roblox's "car seats". They can be used to make controllable vehicles. They were developed in early 2009 by the Roblox team and implemented into the game soon after. They served as a replacement for HopperBin-controlled vehicles and Controllerflag vehicles. Controllerflags were removed shortly after the introduction of VehicleSeats, as Controllerflags were deemed too hard to use compared to VehicleSeats. Another contributing factor is that Controllerflags can only be used roughly in Singleplayer and not in Multiplayer.
The main use for these seats is to simply make cars, but they can be scripted for other things and uses, they also include some different properties. The properties of a VehicleSeat are a little different from the ROBLOX part, and these are the following:
- MaxSpeed - Set this to any number of speed for your car to drive at.
- Torque - How much power the car has, make higher for big cars and lower for small cars.
- Throttle - Tells which way a car is going while a player is driving, 1 for forward and -1 for backward.
- Steer - Tells which way a car is turning, pretty much the same as the throttle except in the turning aspect.
- TurnSpeed - Although it appears to control the speed of the car turning, it doesn't appear to have much effect.
