Can't get subgrid wheels to work.
Howdy! First of all, I'm loving this script so far. It saved my previous rover from the scrap heap. This is my first attempt at using it for subgrid wheels / rotor suspension, and I've run into an issue.

The rover is unable to park, and no input is making it to the wheels. They do not move or turn at all. Steering and all that stuff is checked in their control panel screens.

I have all the right stuff in place. The wheels are grouped together, and there's an RC block on each subgrid. I have also tried the fix you suggested on another discussion involving replacing lines of code, as my rover does not have any wheels on the main grid.

The design of the rover is basically a large body with 4 subgrid wheel assemblies, each containing 2 or 3 wheels. The subgrids are attached via Advanced Rotors.

One other thing to note is that I have modified the script's values for the expected name of things. I did this because my group has a convention of prefixing everything with a vehicle code; the code for this rover, for example, is GOPH_ (short for Gopher), and so I changed the subgrid wheels group name to "GOPH_ Wheels".

I'd be willing to add a random hidden wheel on the main grid if that would fix it. Otherwise I'm up for anything. This is my first time making a somewhat advanced rover and I'm having fun messing with everything.

Thanks in advance, and again thanks for making this awesome script!

Hi. First, if you refer these code
RC.SetValueBool("HandBrake", true); RC.SetValueBool("HandBrake", false);
then by my latest tests this trick doesn't work anymore. So you actually have to place at least one wheel to the main grid.
Second. Does PB in terminal says that TCS failed? If not then wheels should work. Do wheels react to steering with A/D?

I'm having a similar issue. TCS has not failed.

My subgrid wheels don't react to W/S or A/D :(

@A30LUS do you have LCDs? There maybe some info about what's going on. Like the script my be in standby mode if something connected with connector block.

I would also really love for this to work with a sub-grid setup. :steamsad:
