Problem getting out of EVA seat.

[astroadrian99]

Hey guys. Im having a problem with my kerbal getting out of the eva seat. Its on a rover i landed on duna and at one point the kerbal touched the ground and his head began to dangle like when you hit the ground hard after falling but you can stand him up later. Then after a while i quicksaved and tried to get mi out of the craft but the leave seat button wouldnt appear. Then i pressesd F9 and the craft loaded with him standing on the seat but still connected to the craft. This time when i click on him it shows eve propellant but nothing else. I cant find a way to make him leave the seat. Does anybody know how to make him get of the seat?

EDIT after a quicksave, it let me see the buttons of collect sample, review sample, etc. yet it doesn't let me leave seat.

Hello? Any one can answer me?

Uh oh. This is not good, I'm afraid. I'm not an expert on glitches, but I think it is extremely difficult to get him to get out. Is anyone out there going to back me up on this?

It is or was a common bug, IIRC the fix is in the general issues fixes thread over in the support forum

You will have a ground contact error in your logs and the debug window (Alt+F2) because Bill cannot touch the floor.

Make a quicksave and back it up, then look for Bill in the file, you'll need to mess with the position data for him and try to move him sideways.

Change the lat or lon values a bit, save the file and then quickload it to see where he is, if he moves far enough he'll fall to the ground and should get up normally

I tried fixing the code like you said but it just made my ship explode for no reason. The code is here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/77upnabap560nv9/AABAriVLQ5J6eQJJHgZHdSX4a?dl=0

Try checking the thread below and see if the "stuck in command seat" option matches what you are seeing.

If you have Kerbal Attachment System installed, try using Jeb to grab the seat. Alternatively, try using Whack-a-Kerbal in the debug menu to blow up the seat. (You'll probably want to quicksave before trying the latter suggestion. )
