Sitting in a VehicleSeat teleports and breaks car assembly

#1

I have a vehicle chassis that can be entered by sitting manually and by calling :Sit(). Whenever I try to do this though, it teleports the vehicle to the player, not the other way around, causing constraints to break.

A recommended fix in here is to set RootPriority above the character’s RootPriority, but that does nothing to fix the issue.

The code below is what I currently have for handling entering the car. Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix the teleporting?

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if Seat.Occupant ~= nil then
		Prompt.Enabled = false
		
		local Humanoid = Seat.Occupant
		local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent)
		ChassisPart:SetNetworkOwner(Player)
	else
		Prompt.Enabled = true
		ChassisPart:SetNetworkOwnershipAuto()
	end
end)

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
	if Seat.Occupant then
		return
	end

	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not Humanoid then
		return
	end
	
	Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
end)

try anchoring the chassis for a tiny amount of time while you’re getting in

I was setting this up to duplicate your issue and had to set the Seat to massless to make that happen. That would also be your fix however you wanted to do that. Mass or an Anchor on the Seat, either one could also be used at the moment and set back.

I would just let the Seat have mass.

Testing Script 
--serverScript
task.wait(6)

local Players=game:GetService("Players")
local Seat= workspace:FindFirstChild("Seat")
local Prompt=Seat:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if Seat.Occupant then Prompt.Enabled = false
		local Humanoid = Seat.Occupant
		local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Humanoid.Parent)
		Seat:SetNetworkOwner(Player)
	else
		Prompt.Enabled = true
		Seat:SetNetworkOwner()
	end
end)

Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
	if Seat.Occupant then
		return
	end

	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not Humanoid then
		return
	end

	Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
end)

Thank you very much. I was wondering why other vehicles were not having this issue without having to do any extra code.

Do you have any idea why a massless vehicleseat causes this?
