vehicle/gameobject moving/listing/rotating when made parent of main character (child) game object

Questions & Answers

Very simple.

  1. I created a main character
  2. I make it a child of a vehicle game object using:
    Destroy (player.GetComponent ());
    player.transform.SetParent(this.transform,true);
    player.transform.position = posicion_de_montar.transform.position;
  3. As soon as I do that the vehicle begins strangely moving/listing and turning without any user input.

I trigger the parenting with an “OnTriggerEnter” on the vehicle.

I get my player game object with:

player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag (“Player”);

In case it makes any difference I’ll mention that I did scale up the player game object, neither object has a position of 0,0,0, both have rotation 0,0,0, and the buttons in the top left corner are set to pivot and global.

I know I’m a super novice at this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well I figured out what that random “listing/drifting” was. I hadn’t set Drag or Angular Drag to Infinity like in the tutorials, therefore when not in motion the object was either spinning or drifting.
