    Hey guys!

    I'm trying to make a boat with a lot of objects move down a sewage tunnel.

    Is there a way to group all these objects and move them at once with the boat not messing up?I've tried wielding the boat together but the game does not seem to like this.I have no idea on what to do. Any Forgers know how to do this?

    (Kind of like the train on Survive the Underground)

    Wait why does the welding not work? Are you forcing the pieces to normal when they should be fixed or something?

    When you script a group to move, the game calculates the movement based on the parent object of the group. Sometimes that make the group break apart. First try ungrouping the boat and selecting a different parent object. If that doesn't work, there are other things you can try. You can try putting the boat on normal physics and try to move it using gravity sliders. Or you can try using a joint. You can do it with either a hinge or a ball and socket. I recommend using the advanced ball and socket. Weld the cage to the boat, make sure the cage is the parent object, then place the ball in the center of the cage. Script tme movement you want to the ball and it should drag the boat with it. This method can be glitchy sometimes too, because the joints are so new, sometimes they slip out. Also you may need to use joint restraints to get the movement just right.
