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.

This guide describes the most common use cases of moving parts. For detailed information about configuring the moving subobjects, see the subobject mode reference manual.

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

  • Which axis does it rotate or move around when activated?
  • Which switch does it connect to?
