How do I make my boat not go flying?

I’m trying to make my boat let me walk around/jump on it but it’s a bit bugged. The only way I handled this is by disabling physics to walk around but it’s not what I’m looking for. How do I fix this?

Hey there @JakeEyes912! Welcome back to the community! My usual recommendation would be to disable the physics interaction from the character so that it cannot influence your boat when moving around on it:

However if you still need some of that impulse but want only a tiny amount of it, you can adjust the settings under the character’s Character Movement: Physics Interaction settings as shown in the image above. Many of the maximum forces would need to be dropped very low to not influence a buoyant boat so much. To add you may need to modify your boats mass and buoyancy to help resists smaller physical forces even if you lower them here.

Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

There is an intrinsic problems with physics and moving platforms. Check out this hero… They explain it much better than I ever could.

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling on this for weeks!
