How do I make a supply drop fall from the sky slowly?
Im trying to make a supply drop that falls from the sky but whenever I test the game the supply drop always just falls to the ground immediately the supply drop is not anchored it is only welded.
Here is the script I used
1 | local SupplyDrop = game.Workspace.SupplyDrop |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | if SupplyDrop.Box.Position.Y > 6 then |
5 | SupplyDrop.Box.Position.Y = SupplyDrop.Box.Position.Y - 5 |
6 | end |
7 | wait(2) |
8 | end |

Because it's unanchored, gravity will do its thing and pull it down towards the ground. Also, the way you're doing it is going to be very choppy anyway. nilVector 812 — 6y

do you know a way I can make it not choppy? MasonTheCreeperYT3 74 — 6y

I do this in my game using BodyForce and BodyVelocity:
01 | local speed = 20 --Change this to change how fast you want the box to fall |
02 |
03 | local SupplyDrop = game.Workspace.SupplyDrop |
04 | local box = SupplyDrop.Box |
05 |
06 | local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce",box) |
07 | BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0,box:GetMass()*game.Workspace.Gravity,0) --Make a force to counteract gravity |
08 |
09 | local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",box) |
10 | BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,-speed,0) --Make the box fall at a constant velocity |
The BodyForce makes the box weightless by pushing the box up at the same strength Gravity pulls it down.
The BodyVelocity then pushes it down at a constant velocity.
