Physics constraints for a realistic rowing boat on Roblox Studio

Published 2020-03-19
Different ways I discovered to construct a rowing boat with different levels of realism with animated oars on Roblox Studio. I lead you through more complex ways to constructing a rowing boat.
1 - With a vehicle seat, no oars and use of forces to move the boat
2 - Oars constrained with servo hinges which move in a single plane
3 - Ball & Socket constrained oars with use align orientation to move in three dimensions
4 - Oars constrained to connect to the characters hands and move when the character is animated.
I learnt a lot about Roblox physics in this process but (4) didn't quite work out. Perhaps you know why?
