setpos and mesh collisions

[nonplusultra]

hey guys, I'm working on a drivable tank, everything works fine, it is moving, turning, just the basics which work wonderful, if there wouldn't be the problem with the collision.

 

I know about that if using setpos the mesh won't be updated until dis-/enabled or moved with moveto, but even with dis-/enabling with a parent doesn't solve the problem, because the mesh doesn't have the time to get out of the underground before the next frame is moving it deeper in...

I had to set the quest delay to 0.01 for an unlaggy movement.

I've even tried it with a small invisible ghoul that is following the player and where the tank base is set it's height to, works a tiny little bit, but far away from having a good solution!

I know about some other mods, where they seem to have fixed the problem, but I don't want to copy from other mods.

 

So you are asked, if having a good idea/script to help me.

 

Here's the script, it's a messy one atm because it is in testing phase and it's just the basic.

Thanks in advance for any help!
