Problem with vehicle seat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

With the upcoming removal(or deprecating?) of surface hinges I can’t update my custom VehicleSeat’s torque,motor values while running the game because the wheels are now using attachments with an acceleration value set by a NumberValue that has to be high(like 10k+) with a script, before all of this all my engine’s wheels are Surface hinged and tweaking the original VehicleSeat properties was pretty easy since theres no need to use scripts to do all the controlling and acceleration and by that also you can update it’s Torque and Maxspeed while running the game, now I can’t do that unfortunately.

Any help?

Can you send your code? It will be easier for us to find any error.

Ok, please wait as im looking for a train model of mine

The value classname is NumberValue btw

#5

What is happening when you are testing and what is supposed to happen?

#6

I’m trying to change the NumberValue while runnning the game, editing it with script isnt a problem since it will update as i run the game again, the problem is there’s nothing changing when i’m driving the train…

#7

Are you changing it on your Client or on the Server, and is the Script ServerSided?

yes it is serverscript and serversided (normal script)

#9

Did you change the properties on the Client?

No, from running the server, not playing btw

#11

So the problem is the NumberValue isn’t changing when you are driving the train?

The numbervalue did change from the window, but physically nothing is speeding the train even adding 20k+ isnt doing it

#13

Does the output return any error?

no output errors, just trying to update it while the game is running is the problem, but changing the values in studio before running and then running it changed the value, the problem is im trying to get it to update while its running
Edit: sorry for the long reply, i had to go outside

Im having a similar problem with the vehicle seat, since I’ve been working on days on my car, but when people test it they can’t drive, I figured out why, and its beacuse they have a blocky body, I need help fixing that, please answer if you can help me, thanks.

Hinge not working
#17

my problem is updating the values does not physically change the vehicle but i recently learned Values instances have their own .Changed event so this topic is resolved now. if you need help on your situation as of now please DM me, i dont quite really understand what you meant by blocky characters affect vehicles, what i could suggest is when anyone sits on the vehicle seat turn the cancollide property of the Humanoidrootpart to false if that helps
