[Spacebuild] Parenting ship's seat crash

[wouellet]

Hello! I'm a Spacebuild newbie and when I parent my ship with the workshop's multi-parenting tool it crash. Well, it DOES work, I can sit on the seat and control the ship pretty well, but when I go out It teleport me nowhere OR I just crash. When I parent all my ship but just weld the seat, the seat fly as I move. So is there any way to parent a seat in Spacebuild or set another "get out" point for a seat? Sorry for my english. I have found an Expression 2 code that is said to fix the glitch but there is an error on the lane 69:

# Use and Purpose:
# Place this chip on the main prop of your ship and say
# '!parent' in chat. This will do all the work for you
# to have a properly working and non-laggy parented ship.
# Note that this does auto-weight props, so if your gyropod
# is setup for a different weight, you may have to adjust.
#
# To share this chip, just say 'share mode' in chat before placing.
#
# Note: Do NOT save your ship after this, it will not work as
# expected. Instead, use this before flying each time your ship
# is placed.

# Fair Use and Legality:

lane 69: Parts[Index,entity]:freeze()

and it said: no such function entity:freeze(void)

so if it can be resolved I could test it.

For the E2, you might have more luck posting this on the [URL="http://www.wiremod.com/forum/"]wiremod forum[/URL]. That's all I know sorry.
