Bug Report: Boat Rotation Velocity Pauses When Player Exits on Ice

When a boat is sliding on ice and has rotational velocity, exiting the boat causes the boat's rotation to pause. The rotational velocity is not removed; it is temporarily stopped while the boat is empty. When the player enters the same boat again, the paused rotational velocity is applied and the boat continues rotating.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place a boat on an ice block.

  2. Start moving the boat across the ice.

  3. Turn the boat to create rotational velocity.

  4. Exit the boat while it is still rotating.

  5. Observe that the boat stops rotating while empty.

  6. Enter the boat again.

  7. Observe that the previous rotational velocity resumes.

Expected Behavior

The boat should continue following normal physics after the player exits, including maintaining its rotation while sliding on ice, or the rotational velocity should gradually decay naturally.

Actual Behavior

The boat's rotational velocity is paused when there is no passenger controlling it. Once a player enters the boat again, the rotation resumes from where it was paused.

Possible Cause

The boat movement update logic may stop applying rotational velocity when the boat has no rider, while the current velocity values remain unchanged. This creates a "frozen" rotation state that resumes when player input becomes active again.

Suggested Fix

Allow boats on ice to continue updating their rotational velocity even when empty, or properly apply friction/physics to reduce the rotation instead of pausing it completely.
