Non-symmetrical body parts.

I realize this would be massive pain, but, how about the ability to have non-symmetrical body parts. Like one vent on the side like on an MR2 or the Murcielago?

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

do you mean like the exhaust option where you can have x1 on left or right or both?

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Implementing the X2/X1 thing on parts shouldnt be too much of a problem. I think the devs should really look into this, as it gives the player more freedom. Would be cool for a 3rd headlight or brakelight too!

Yes, he means something similar to that, except for vents and other fixtures. I don't recollect the devs having talked about this.

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Thought as much, was just clarifying given how many things in the past have been misconceived. Thought it best to straight up ask haha

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

I like the idea of the x1/x2 idea for the exhaust option, but the problem is, it still acts as if I were placing two parts, where whatever side I choose has to be mounted just to that side and not directly in the middle. Maybe they're working on that.

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

I thought you can already do exhausts on one side

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Yes you can with exhausts. Read back carefully, thats what we said. Point is, we are hoping the devs are able to do it for more than just exhausts.

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Actually, what if we get another option with the certain parts that make it possible (vents, lights, scoops, wings?) to center or mirror on both sides?
So besides adding the X2/X1 option like exhausts on vents, or door handles, there is an option to select 'Center' or 'Symmetry' to choose whether you want your part to center-align like grills do, or act like vents/lights do right now? We could have icons like this:

Image
Align to center

Image
Make symmetrical

Wouldnt be too hard to program, plus gives us tons of more options. Should be on top of the priority list, but maybe a nice thing to add later on.

I really would like this feature available to all fixtures, it would allow far more flexibility to the car designer (asymetrical air intakes, asymetrical badges, central lights, double spoilers, etc...)

Can this be considered before the car designed goes on definitive lockdown ?

Not very easy to do, you'd need an entirely different version of each fixture to do it, remember that the whole thing is built on one half of the car and mirrored, the reason grilles work is that they are modeled in one half and designed to always meet in the middle of the car. You could only do it with fixtures that are symetrical left to right, and you'd need to maintain a seperate copy of each fixture for the centre version.

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Alright I understand that. But what about making the vents appear on only left or right side, like exhausts do?

And what are the chances to be able to put a 3rd braking light, or a center headlight later on?

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Vents on one side is easy. Centre brake lights OK as long as they're designed for it I'd say.

Re: Non-symmetrical body parts.

Make half a center brake light and then mirror it?
