Only Get the horizontal plane of lookVector?

I'm making a script where when you double tap the "w" key, you get propelled at the direction your camera is facing. I only want it to propel you in a horizontal direction, (x and z) and not a vertical direction (y). (All the code is in a LocalScript inside of StarterCharacter Scripts) Here is my Code so far:

01--Getting the Camera
02    game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
03        script.LocalScript:clone().Parent = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
04    end)    
05 
06 
07--Local Variables   
08local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
09local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
10local Char = player.Character
11local Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
12local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
13local lastTapTime = 0
14local clicked = false
15local Trail = game.ServerStorage.Trail:Clone()
16local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
17 
18 
19_G.Energy = 100
20 
21 
22 
23--Moving the Humanoid
24    --Double Tap
25enabled = true
26Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
27    if not enabled and clicked then
28        return
29    end
30    if key == "w" and _G.Energy >= 25 then
31    enabled = false
32 
33    local function onTap()
34        if tick() - lastTapTime < 0.2 then
35            print("double Click!")
36            clicked = true
37                --What happends when the user double taps
38            player.Character.UpperTorso.Velocity = cam.CFrame.lookVector * 300
39            Trail.Parent = Char.HumanoidRootPart
40            local attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment", Char.Head)
41            attachment0.Name = "TrailAttachment0"
42            local attachment1 = Instance.new("Attachment", Char.HumanoidRootPart)
43            attachment1.Name = "TrailAttachment1"
44            Trail.Attachment0 = attachment0
45            Trail.Attachment1 = attachment1
46            wait(0.3)
47            Trail:Remove()
48            _G.Energy = _G.Energy - 25
49            wait(0.5)   
50            end
51        end
52 
53        onTap()
54        lastTapTime = tick()
55 
56        wait(0.5)
57        enabled = true
58        clicked = false
59    end

I'd also like to point out that this script doesnt work when I publish the game, and play it from the site. Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

v3*Vector3.new(1,0,1) would flatten it to horizontal. cabbler 1942 — 7y

So I would put that after cam.CFrame.LookVector? Sorry for late responce McQuakyDuck 8 — 7y

Wait i got it, thanks so much! McQuakyDuck 8 — 7y
