So I'm making a controllable ship, and to move it I'm using a VehicleSeat. To move the ship, I use 'SetPrimaryPartCFrame' with the Primary Part being the bottom of the ship, so like this: "boat:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(boat.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 1))" I expect it to move a bit forward, but all it does is move it to a random part of the baseplate. I know for a fact that the PrimaryPart set is correct, and that the front is at the actual front of the ship. I just don't know what's happening, if you have any idea, please tell me!

Well, do you know that the lookVector you're using is being assigned to a position Vector3?
Because you're giving CFrame.new() one parameter, it is being assigned only with the position.
also, why do you bother multiplying the look vector by 1?
Yes, that's also a bit odd. Multiplying anything by 1 leaves it the same.
try modifying it relative to the current position of the ship in the direction of the look vector
What do you mean by that/
boat.PrimaryPart.Position * boat.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector
This is what happens. https://gyazo.com/9b0e29b2835eacd36e7c4c5a143e97c7
