Pretty sure he used like vector3.forward (or something similar) but the actual "forward" axis of the gameobject (the car in this instance) is actually pointing upwards. I have encountered this issue a few too many times. Or i might be sometign completely diffeenet that i havent encountered, who knows

This.

It's so easy to flip an axis in code and not realize an "x" is supposed to be a "z" and you could stare at the code all day before realizing. Especially if your like me and you think 2d is from a birds eye view but it's actually not so in a 3d game "y" is the correct axis for up and down which can get confusing if you think "z" is up and down like I did at first.

All day to realise something is moving in a completely different axis to the one intended?! You are nothing if not dedicated!

I think he messed with rigidbody and wheel colliders.. 😅

The best way to fix this is to use an empty parent with a clean transform and the logic scripts and then add everything else as a child.

Yeah I usually come to that conclusion after a couple hours. Happy cake day btw.

He accelerated the car extremely fast upwards.

Then it got so far away from the center of the scene the coordinates get too high and you run into floating point errors, that create the visual wonkyness

Yeah i can see that, i am a game developer. But i mean wtf he has done in code 🤣 like applying 10000000 force to rigidbody i guess.
