How to make the DriveSeat function without detecting Hinges?

Greetings. I have been making a Jet and wanting to know if there is a possible known way, or an alternative to making the driveseat function, with a jet model. Any alternatives instead of attaching Hinges?

Thanks for helping! :slight_smile:

Hiwiwi
Use the Values gotten from the VehicleSeat player’s input, to use them into a VectorForce or your prefered way to move a model.

Technically, if you use a script and change the values to make a vectorforce, will it work?

Yup, well, changing?

I meant in a Script, listen the “Throttle” values got from the VehicleSeat, use them in a VectorForce that moves the model to simulate flying for the Jet

Or just use a normal seat, and get the camera view point of the player, and move the model using that “aiming CFrame”, with the VectorForce or any mover you would like to try

Well, that was my first idea… But, Thank you so much!! I was wondering what to learn today, I will try to make a plane too. Probably I will change things about the approach I told you :3

Im glad it made you want to make a plane!

Well, what u discovered?
Different movers that causes different problems.
BodyGyro, BodyThrust and BodyPosition, causes some nice effects, and causing problems too…

Or VectorForce and AlignOrientation? or a combination of all? :v
Making a good plane/jet, smooth, stable, fun to ride, its a little complex, specially on how u manage the movement, rotation, speed.
Probably on client will go smoother too, using some RenderStep would make it look smoother I think, theres a lot of things to test.
Hopefully someone could add some ideas on whats the best approach :3

Yeah! It gave all types of results. I feel like this is the best approach, I will probably also go through free models, checking the code on how it’s done. Thanks for your time and effort, I really appreciate it!!

Yup free models gives good examples. I tried it a couple of times too. I will be experimenting too, share if u discover something interesting, I’ll be doing too :3
