I can only include one media link as a new user so I included all the blueprints and relevant info in the video clip.
Here you can see how I have my BP set up for swapping to my ships controls/camera (possessing the pawn) and back to my player (character pawn).
My issue is that the location I was snapped to isn’t maintained when unpossesing my character and instead I appear somewhat randomly about my ship when repossessing my player character/re-enabling collision/leaving the snapped position.
I also have a collider enveloping the boat that changes the characters velocity to stop them combing velocities when jumping. However I don’t think this should be effecting my issue it simply adds the boats velocity and subtracts it from the characters on the X-Y vector’s.
I realised the issue was that I was teleporting to the socket from wherever I was previously so I make sure to teleport my character to the exact location he will placed when possessing the boat.
Now my character has a permanent reference to the scene object/reference socket which is “ShipsWheel” on my WarGalleon BP. So when the logic returns to my character.
I also calculate the character velocity minus the boats velocity and a world location offset based on the same concept to make sure the character and the ship are somewhat in sync stopping weird jumping interactions.
