I'm just testing this tank I made using constraints and the problem is I have no idea why it would be choppy.
Since I'm using constraints and not CFrame, which are all done server sided, I was wondering why the tank Im using moves very very choppy.
For example I send a signal to the server to turn the wheels, The wheels turn until I send another signal telling them to stop, however its as if im moving it completely locally
Im assuming its because the tank isnt a priority updated model or something along those lines. How would I achieve this? See the choppiness here:

I see.
Alas, I believe this issue lies on behalf of Roblox. The constraints are new, and experimental. It may be them.
I believe that this is a problem a user such as yourself cannot solve.
I could be wrong though, don't give in. |

In studio they arnt choppy, however in start server they are. So its how often the position of the tank gets updated. It wouldn't be the constraints or they would act up in studio test mode too, since they are physics they dont have anything to do with updating. |

What are you using for updating? A while loop? Move the movement to a local script and use renderstepped. (unless you're using FE (im not even sure that'll effect it))
All these questions have driven me into existential angst and I find myself beginning to question myself and my motives |

I send a single from the client to the server telling the tanks wheels to spin, they spin until I send another signal to say stop.
There is no "Updater" |

idk then
Are you using FE and have to use the signals (I assume they're remotefunctions/events)
if not, you should use renderstepped for moving the tank

| The physics engine is moving the tank, using renderstep would be the worst decision ever. |
