Create react api for DynamicRayCastVehicleController
Hello. I see that r3p currently depends on rapier 0.11.1, however 0.17.0 got DynamicRayCastVehicleController. Would be great to have it exposed in r3p.
For sure, it will be great to get this in rt/rapier!
But this is blocked on rapier.js bindings being updated to include the vehicle controller - https://github.com/dimforge/rapier.js
If you're keen to see this sooner, you could contribute to the bindings effort there. Last I heard on the dimforge discord someone was working on them, but it's been a while.
There's also no open issue on rapier.js for adding vehicle bindings. Would be good to open one there to track.
The vehicle controller is currently available through the canary release of @dimforge/rapier3d-compat
Some folks on discord shared they are working around this by overriding the version of @dimforge/rapier3d-compat that @react-three/rapier uses. See: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-json#overrides
This isn't ideal though 😞 unfortunately the maintainer of rapier is busy with non-rapier work right now and hasn't had time to get a release out.
@react-three/rapier now uses a version of rapier.js with the dynamic raycast vehicle controller.
