Vehicle Mods

LFS Editor supports creating moving parts using special subobject types. This allows vehicle mods to have popup headlights, opening doors, spinning fans and more. Moving subobjects can rotate a set angle, slide or spin at a given speed. This can be connected to switched lights, ignition, horn or siren.

Options

Before you begin adding a moving part, you need to consider these questions:

• What type of motion does it do? Does it rotate, slide or spin?
• Which axis does it rotate or move around when activated?
• Which switch does it connect to?
