In FPS/TPS games, what happens when there’s no “entering a vehicle” animation?

Question

Do you instantly teleport in it space-wise ? What happens regarding your hitbox, from other players POV ?

Usually the player model just gets disabled altogether and the game sticks the camera to the vehicle instead. Remember, games don’t have to do anything in a way similar to the real world. For example, in [Iron Lung](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846170/Iron_Lung/) the submarine you are piloting doesn’t move at all, it’s just chilling in the void and you’re actually controlling an invisible camera object in the map that projects what it sees onto the texture of the screen in the sub.
