Sword that uses BodyPosition and BodyGyro flipping out when touched

As you can see in the gif, when a player comes into contact with another players sword, it flips out.

The sword & purple mark are both set to CanCollide = false and I’ve even created a CollisionGroup for the players so they can’t collide.

I update the cframe of the BodyPosition and BodyGyro locally using RenderStepped

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
    if character.Sword:FindFirstChild("BodyPosition") and 
character.Sword:FindFirstChild("BodyGyro") then
	    character.Sword.BodyPosition.Position = character.Anchor.Position
	    character.Sword.BodyGyro.CFrame = character.UpperTorso.CFrame * 
CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(180), math.rad(155))
    end
end)

I can’t seem to find out the reason for it flipping out like this seeing as the player cannot interrupt the sword, so it should always reach it’s destination. Is there a solution?

I’m wondering if it’s to do with me doing setting the CFrame’s locally.

#3

That is certainly possible.

Have you tried manually giving the player who is setting the CFrame the physics ownership? That could be another potential explanation for this.

I didn’t think about that ( never done that before ). I’ll go learn how to do that now then come back!

Here’s a link!

I love you, that fixed it! Thank you!
