[SOLVED] Strange seat and humanoid root part behavious

[IamACoolGuy_1230 (Scorch)]

Hi there!

I’ve recently noticed some strange CFrame behaviors when I call seat:Sit(): basically, it is setting the position of the player’s humanoidRootPart to the correct position, but the rest of the character is several studs below the seat.
The strange thing, however, is that called seat:Sit() works correctly the first time I call it, but all the time after, it causes the effect I described above.

Here is a video showcasing the issue:

Weird glitch

And here is the code that I am using:

First time calling Seat:Sit(), in a data loading script:

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
shipClone:WaitForChild("Seat"):Sit(character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"))

Second time calling seat:Sit(), in a proximity prompt handler script:

local seat = ship:FindFirstChild("Seat")
seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)

As you can see, there is literally no difference, but clearly, something is happening, and if anyone has any ideas as to what that ‘something’ is, please let me know!

Odd … are you setting Owner on the seat then removing that after they exit.

I use seat:Sit() to sit the player and

seat.Disabled = true
HumanoidRootPart.Position += Vector3.new(0,15,0)
wait(0.5)
seat.Disabled = false

to remove the player from the seat

The thing is, I don’t think it has anything to do with how I sit the player, because the HumanoidRootPart is in the right place, it’s just that the rest of the player’s character is moved down

I figured it out! As I suspected here:

It had nothing to do with how I am sitting the player, but rather how I remove the player from the seat. For some reason, using Position on HumanoidRootPart doesn’t move the rest of the character, you have to use CFrame. So I just changed the line to HumanoidRootPart.CFrame += Vector3.new(0,15,0) and now it works perfectly!

This is the post that helped me.
