I am trying to make it so that the player can press shift to do a dash/boost. Using Player.Character.Torso.Velocity only makes it relative to the world axis. I tried using BodyThrust.Force, but it isn't a valid member... Any ideas for a work around for Velocity or proper usage of BodyThrust?

Applying force to torso relative to self?

As EgoNoose said, use the lookVector of the torso and multiply it by the speed you want
ex:
local speed = 50
local force = torso.CFrame.lookVector * speed -- force is now relative to where torso is facing

Ok thanks! Just for reference of anyone that looks for this problem this is the line I used: Player.Character.Torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector.X * speed,0,Player.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector.Z * speed)

Make their walkspeed bigger
Have you tried using the lookVector of the torso as a unit vector and multiplying that?
