Using The Stig & Dummy in BeamNG.drive

hey what's up everyone bien gf+ here and in today's video we're talking about how you can get the crash test dummy and the Stig in beamng Drive we'll start off by looking at how you can get them individually outside of vehicles and then we'll look at how we can add them as drivers and passengers to various vehicles so because the dummy and the Stig are both mods you'll want to head over to the beamng mods repository if you're not familiar with the mods repository I'd recommend checking out my other video on downloading and installing mods so the first thing to download is the crash-test dummy mod created by b25 Mitch it was first released in 2016 however it does still work with current versions of the game as you can see here it allows you to spawn in a rag doll type prop that you can use for crashing vehicles in or placing around the map next we'll download the stig which is actually called Stiggy in the mods repository it was created by the user rain vest and also released a number of years ago in 2017 just like the crash-test dummy it does still seem to work in current versions of the game I'll include links to both mods in the description so you can download them quickly and directly yourself so here we are now in beamng drives let's take a look at how we can spawn in the mods so I'm going to open the vehicle selector by pressing ctrl e on my keyboard and we'll scroll down and select the crash-test dummy and anuman so there we go we can see he's now being spawned in we were pretty lucky this time in that he spawned and staining up a lot of times he'll spawn in either on a hill or at an angle so he'll end up falling over so the next thing I want to show you is how you can fix that if that happens to you as well as how you can move him around the map you'll want to open up the world editor by pressing the f11 key and I'm not going to get into too much detail here because I do have another video on how you can move objects and vehicles around the map so if this is a new concept to you I would recommend checking out that video for more details so I've unlocked my camera by pressing shift C on the keyboard I can now move it around freely and over here on the right hand side under mission group I'm gonna scroll to the bottom and under spawn vehicles I should have either the player or clone that you can click on you'll now see that I have these arrows over the dummy allowing me to move him now one thing you'll want to do first is press the J key to pause the physics that way when we pull him up in the air he's not just gonna fall back to the ground I can also switch to the rotate tool over here on the left hand side and rotate him so now we can use the free camera and we can move it to where we want to place the dummy again this is a concept that I cover in my other video on moving and placing objects let's just go ahead and place him there and unpause the physics and you should see he's still standing where in this case he's actually tipped back a little bit so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pause again I'm gonna right click on the player hit reset and pause and I'm just gonna try and reposition him this is what you'll find like I said if he's tipping over or if he spawns in on a hill a lot of times you'll just want to make sure you're finding some flat ground also repositioning him by rotating him a lot of times will fix that as well so if I unpause the game you can see he's leaning a little bit but this time it looks like he is gonna stand up for us if I press the play button up here in the top left-hand corner that's gonna bring me back to the game now that we're back in the game let's press control e on the keyboard to open up the vehicle selector let's now spawn in the stick now you'll notice when you go to spawn them in that there's actually no preview for him you'll just have to look for the word Stiggy in the vehicle selector and you'll see that there's a missing preview but let's go ahead and spawn him in as well so you're gonna notice a couple of weird things have happened first of all the camera has actually positioned itself below the map and it's a little bit hard to see but the steak has actually spawned upside down which you'll see in just a second so I've noticed this happens sometimes with the steak and occasionally with the dummy as well so what you'll want to do is press shift C on your keyboard to open up the free camera and position that camera back up to where you want him to be and you'll see what I mean that he's actually spun upside down and halfway through the ground as well so to fix that we're gonna use the same concept by opening up the world editor and now over here on the right hand side you'll see you have the player which is the dummy and clone which is the steak so if I click on clone here you might notice the second issue with the mod to try to use these rotation or movement handles while the movement handles work okay the rotation ones do not so if I click and drag nothing can happen so to fix this what I do is I go to the right hand side and beside these rotation numbers I simply just change one of these numbers so under X I'm going to change one to two and then press Enter and for whatever reason all of a sudden when I come back to the handles you'll find that it starts to work okay so now that the sticks being straightened up we can now take a look at how we can position him around the map so I'm just going to use the same concept and I'm going to move him over here with the dummy you'll notice that while the dummy stands in an upright position the stig by default is actually in a driving position and there's really no way to change this to a standing position so you won't be able to stand him up the same way you stand up a dummy so if I unpause the game you'll notice that he just kind of flops right over if we exit the world editor I'll actually show you one of the tricks that I use in order to prop him up you can use the note grabber tool by holding down the control key and clicking and holding with your left mouse button on one of these nodes which you can then drag around allowing you to reposition him once I have him in a somewhat standing position I can middle click on the mouse and that will actually hang him from the current position obviously this isn't a perfect solution but in a lot of my videos I'll use this method to position him and then I'll place the camera in a way so you don't see the notes for example I can position the camera like this so the nodes have been cut off from the camera view and it just looks like he's standing up or sitting looking off in the distance obviously not the best solution but it's one way to get around this limitation and I think you'll see next how the stick works much better in the vehicles so back here on the mods repository I wanted to call your attention to another mod called driver passengers and loads this is the mod that enables you to place both the dummy and the Stig into various vehicles in the game it mostly works on official vehicles but it does also work on some mods as well so let's go ahead and download that and we'll take a look at what that looks like in the game back here in the game you'll see I have the default pickup trucks bonding because this is an official vehicle it will work with the drivers passengers and loads mod so I'm going to press ctrl W on my keyboard to open up vehicle customization and you'll see you have an additional modification drop-down that's currently empty if I go ahead and click on that and scroll down a little bit you can then select passengers which should be an option now that the mods being installed you'll now see that the dummy has been added to the vehicle as a driver there's a few customizations we can do as well if I press ctrl W once again to open vehicle customization I can expand this additional modification for passengers and I can actually add a front right FR passenger by switching that from empty and I can either select the dummy which is what we're seeing here or the passenger which is actually the stake and there we have the stake now spawned in as a passenger alongside the dummy one of the little glitches that have noticed recently with him is that the helmet for whatever reason shows up is black rather than as white I'm not sure what exactly is causing this but for the most part the dummy and state characters do seem to work well just looking at some of the other options we have over here if I expand driver and passenger you'll notice that we also have a seatbelt option even though the seatbelt is invisible we can turn it on and off so that's gonna affect what happens to the dummy and mistake in a crash so now you can see there's two Stig's in the Kart they both have the black helmet on which again like I said is a bit of a glitch but other than that for the most part they do seem to work well as passengers and of course we can also switch the driver or the passenger over to something else as well so if I want the driver to also be the Stig I can click on the drop down beside driver and switch it from dummy over to driver which will spawn and mistake so while the driver passenger at loads mod works great for a number of official vehicles I also wanted to call your attention to a couple of other mods that allow you to place the dummy and the stake inside of them either as driver or as passengers I'll include a link in the description to all of these mods but here's a couple of the highlights there's a Dan swords C 1500 front engine school bus the Gavril vertex n/a 2 which was just released recently as well as the Fiat 126 P here's a couple of other highlights of how I've used the crash test dummy as well as a stake in a number of my videos on my main channel beamng fun hopefully this video helps you get started using the dummy and the state both inside the vehicles as well as outside the vehicles and if you have any suggestions for future videos let me know in the comments below thanks for watching
