How do i make a character slide in the direction he or she is facing?

Asked by

this is the code I previously came up with, and, besides the fact that it just gives you a boost every time you press b on the gamepad, it wouldn't work anyways because the boost it was giving me was always in the wrong direction, unless I faced the direction it was giving me a boost in. its hard to describe but here is the code I tried.

local plyr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

while true do db=false j=0 repeat wait(.1) until plyr.Character local InputKey = "ButtonB" deb=false B1=false B=0

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(function(UserInput) if UserInput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1 then

`1`	`if` `UserInput.KeyCode` `==` `Enum.KeyCode[InputKey]` `and` `deb==false` `and` `B1` `==` `false` `then`

B=1 for i = 2,1,-1 do print (B) deb=true B1 = true if UserInput.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1 then if UserInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[InputKey] and deb==true and B1 == true and i>0 and B==1 then plyr.Character.Torso.Velocity=Vector3.new(50,0,0) script.S2:Play() local character = plyr.Character local animation = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Slide) animation:Play() wait(.2) B=2 print(B) deb=false wait(.5) animation:Stop()

1else
2    B=0
3    B1=false
4    deb=false
5end
6end

end

1 end

2 end

end)

end

Please fix the code blocks. GoldenPhysics 474 — 8y

What's the issue?

You're only applying the force to the X axis. You need to equally exert force on all 3 axi.

lookVector

lookVector, a property of CFrame, can return the forward direction that a part is facing. It returns a 1 if it's fully facing an axis or -1 if they're facing the negative side of the axis and it can also return all the numbers in between. It can do this to any axis.

`1`	`print(workspace.Part.CFrame.lookVector)`

1,0,0.84

This part is facing towards the positive X and a little bit towards the positive Z axis.

Final Product

We can do arithmetic with this. I made a new variable called BoostForce which is the max velocity something can move in all directions. In this case I made it 50, you can edit it. I multiplied BoostForce with Vector3.new(1,1,1) to get Vector3.new(50,50,50). Then I multiplied that with the lookvector to get a percentage(1 is 100%, 0.84 is 84% and etc...). If I were to use the part from the last chapter I can multiply the last part's lookVector with Vector3.new(50,50,50) to get: Vector3.new(50,0,42) which is what the part's velocity will be.

02    local BoostForce = 50 --50 studs/sec; changeable

04    while true do
05    db=false

08    local InputKey = "ButtonB"
09    deb=false
10    B1=false
11    B=0

13    local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

33--Instead of Vector3.new(1,1,1)*BoostForce you can also do Vector3.new(BoostForce,BoostForce,BoostForce)

Hope it helps!

Edit:

You can just multiply the lookVector and the BoostForce together only to make it shorter.

`1`	`plyr.Character.Torso.Velocity=BoostForce*plyr.Character.Torso.CFrame.lookVector`

You may use that line instead of the longer one.

i tested it out and it still doesnt work like i had hoped, i dont get an error message but the debounce i tried to make doesnt work and the sliding animation i made which i thought would be on the ground just suspends the player in the air for a second while the animation plays out then returns him to his feet. it doesnt even give the character a boost. :/ i know this is on my end and not your fau ace12345678135 50 — 8y
