So earlier today I was working on a slide mechanic for my game. It took a while to get an understanding of what to do, but I've run into a couple of problems when it comes to detecting a slope that goes downward.

1. Slopes arent being detected properly. 2. The boolean value (slope) seems to randomly fire true or false once the key is pressed?

I'm thinking that I'm detecting the slope incorrectly, but need further assistance on the matter.

SCRIPT:

local slope = false
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Living}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
					
local dist = 5
local results = workspace:Raycast(root.CFrame.p, -root.CFrame.upVector * dist, params)
if results then
	local normal = results.Normal
	local incline = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0):Cross(normal)
	if incline.Magnitude == 0 then
	incline = Vector3.new(1, 0, 0)
end
print(incline)
						
local angle = math.acos(Vector3.new(0, 1, 0):Dot(incline))
if angle > math.pi / 1.5 then
	slope = true
end
						
if slope then
	-- Slide Down Slope
	print("Yes")
else
	-- Slide For Short Distance Foward
	print("No")
	end
end
