You just need add two things - the wheel-parameter definer :

Code: [Select]

  this.add_wheel('wfl', wheelparam);
  this.add_wheel('wfr', wheelparam);
  this.add_wheel('wbl', wheelparam);
  this.add_wheel('wbr', wheelparam);

  this.add_wheel('wmfl', wheelparam); // the two sets of middle wheels
  this.add_wheel('wmfr', wheelparam);
  this.add_wheel('wmbl', wheelparam);
  this.add_wheel('wmbr', wheelparam);

and the force-defining one :

Code: [Select]

  steering *= 0.6;
  this.steer(0, steering);
  this.steer(1, steering);



  if(this.started>1)
    this.wheel_force(0, engine);
    this.wheel_force(1, engine);
    this.wheel_force(2, engine);
    this.wheel_force(3, engine);

    this.wheel_force(4, engine);
    this.wheel_force(5, engine);
    this.wheel_force(6, engine);
    this.wheel_force(7, engine);

mind that the force-ones have the wheel number (0 to 7) in the exact order, as you define the wheel-parameter, ones. So you better keep the look-out on witch you take here, if you dont want all be the force-driwen and the same is for the steering -- if you want the other wheels to rotate too, and you can define the rotation on a reverted, or a number-magnified value, like this:

Code: [Select]

  steering *= 0.6;
  this.steer(0, steering);
  this.steer(1, steering);

var  steeringmf = steering * 0.8; // - its better to use another variable, cause you would probably use some other function dependend on "steering" later and you just change it by the " steering *= 0.6;" for all the rest of the script.
  this.steer(2, steeringmf);
  this.steer(3, steeringmf);

var  steeringb = - ( steering * 0.7 );
  this.steer(6, steeringb);
  this.steer(7, steeringb);


Hope this helps a bit whyte the coding problem. :)

Wow ... you had a part of the script copy-pasted several times there ..

So here are the two corrected .js files .... for both 4- and 8-wheel versions  --- its a werry simple script here,, so you should be finding what when does what - probably the 6-times copy-pasted part made you think its nonsense, or that modifications didnt work as it took only the last sets ... doe i made the back-wheels rotate too in oposite direction - you can speculate whyte that script a bit to fit your thoughts about this little thingy.
