[REPOST] How to control something from a different place?

Well I'm making a game which involves boats. I've made them and they float on the roblox water just they dont move. Which isnt very helpful...

I've tried edditing the results you get when typing Rc boat - None of these worked, they just broke it. I've tried vehicle seats on the boat, with one on land and done this:

a = script.Parent.VehicleSeat2
b = script.Parent.VehicleSeat1

while true do 
wait (0.1)
b.Throttle = a.Throttle
end

and the other

a = script.Parent.VehicleSeat2
b = script.Parent.VehicleSeat1

while true do
wait (0.1)
b.Steer = a.Steer
end

Which was from the free models found, But it didnt work. If anyone could give me a hand, it would be much appreciated. (Could be in either vehicle seat form on GUI if giving me a hand) Thank you in advance :)

You need some kind of 'fins' that propel the boat in the water. They will act as wheels, and you can make them invisible. I actually made one a while back. Click here.

I've pinpointed the problem with this. To make this boat work, I've used Crazyman32s' weld script which requires you to anchor the model, which will then be unanchored in the game, But for some reason, this dosent work when I add the fin things... Uroxus 350 — 10y

You don't need to weld the parts together. The fins rotate, and can't be welded to the boat's hull, otherwise they won't spin. Tkdriverx 514 — 10y

No I mean, I have to weld the boat together or it will fall apart, and instead of having a surface weld, I done it with a script. And the script welds every child of the model, which includes the fins. They also have to be part of the model for the other scripts to work... :I Uroxus 350 — 10y

Don't do that. Just use surface welds. Welds are really most useful when parts are intersecting with eachother and need to move as a unit. Tkdriverx 514 — 10y
