Godot 4 Auto-Vehicle-Setup Addon

A powerful editor utility for Godot 4 that automates the tedious process of rigging 3D vehicles. With a single click, this tool identifies wheel geometry, sets up the node hierarchy, assigns RayCast3D components, and configures a RigidBody3D physics setup.

Features

• One-Click Rigging: Automatically detects tire geometry and mesh bounds.
• Physics Ready: Converts your static mesh root into a fully functional RigidBody3D.
• Standardized Hierarchy: Creates a clean, predictable node structure (Wheel_FL, Wheel_FR, etc.) for arcade physics systems.
• Non-Destructive: Reparents existing meshes safely into the new vehicle structure.

Installation

1. Download this repository.
2. Navigate to your Godot project folder.
3. Copy the addons/auto_vehicle_setup folder into your project's addons/ directory.
   • Note: If you don't have an addons/ folder, create one in the root of your project.
4. Open your project in the Godot Editor.
5. Go to Project > Project Settings > Plugins.
6. Find Auto-Vehicle-Setup and set the status to Enabled.

How to Use

1. Select the Node3D (or root object) containing your vehicle meshes.
2. In the Inspector panel, locate the Auto-Vehicle-Setup3D section.
3. Assign your target mesh node and vehicle physics script.
4. Click the Run Organization button.
5. Your car is now rigged and ready for physics!
