Need help with pickup system physics

Recently, I’ve made a pickup system, but I’ve noticed that weird glitches have been going on such as the picked up player walking as well as my character being tilt a bit as if there was weight to the other character.

Here’s my code:

--// Settings
local function PickupPlayer(Player, Target)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Root = Character.HumanoidRootPart
	
	local TargetRoot = Target.HumanoidRootPart
	TargetRoot.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(1.5,1.5,0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(20),0,0)
	for _, v in pairs(Target:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Massless = true
		end
	end
	
	PHYSICS.setCollisionGroup(Target, "Uncollide")
		
	local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	Weld.Name = "Carry"
	Weld.Part0 = Root
	Weld.Part1 = TargetRoot
	Weld.Parent = Root
end

local function DropPickedup(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character
	
	if Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Carry") then
		local Target = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Carry.Part1.Parent
		PHYSICS.setCollisionGroup(Target, "Humanoid")
		
		for _, v in pairs(Target:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				v.Massless = false
			end
		end
		
		Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Target).States.Pickedup.Value = false
		Character.HumanoidRootPart.Carry:Destroy()
	end
end

Here’s what it looks visually:

It seems like the entire character is lighter (maybe because I’ve set the target to massless). I believe the issue may be regarding the root part because of me using a weld constraint but I’m not sure.

Still need help with this issue, please let me know if any more information is needed. I need this problem solved as soon as possible. Sorry for the mini bump

#4

The other client has network ownership of their character, so setting their parts to massless on the server could be a bit finicky.

Also, try setting the picked up player’s humanoid state to Physics

#5

Thanks for the state change tip! It still seems like there is weight to the other client. Is there anything I could do about it? Could I set the network ownership to the server temporarily?

Would making the other client’s character massless on their client help the situation?

#6

I would try using a combination of remote events and local scripts to make the picked up character massless on their own client.

#7

I’ve noticed that Massless does not replicate to the server for the character. The issue of the weight still appears. I will see if I could temporarily give network ownership to the server.

#8

Issue has been solved; all I had to do was make the target that’s picked up not able to collide with anything else. The tilt is just a odd weld constraint glitch. Thanks for everything.
