I'm trying to make a boat to move using Vector3 and there isn't very much info in regards to using NormalId. Is there a way to make this work or is there a better solution?
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local seat = script.Parent
local gyro = seat.BodyGyro
local pos = seat.BodyPosition
local vel = seat.BodyVelocity
local occupant = seat.Occupant
local IsOccupied = false
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if IsOccupied == true then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
seat.Anchored = false
vel.Velocity = Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Front) -- These make it move very slowly
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
seat.Anchored = false
vel.Velocity = Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Left)
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
seat.Anchored = false
vel.Velocity = Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Back)
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
seat.Anchored = false
vel.Velocity = Vector3.FromNormalId(Enum.NormalId.Right)
end
end
end)
Thanks for the help!

Is your script a localscript or server script?
It is a server script, when I tried porting it to a local script it didn't work at all
UserInputService doesn’t exist on the server. You should handle user input on LocalScripts only.
Alright, however the problem here is that the boat won't move very far. Do you know how NormalId works?
Gonna base this from "http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Vector3" but all you're doing is applying a unit vector(vector w/ magnitude 1) to the velocity. In effect, you're just making it move at a snail's pace. To make it move faster, consider multiplying the vector by a constant like 100 or something.
To give you a direction on how to address your non-axis direction problem, consider using InputEnd (not sure of the actual name) for UserInput Service. Register all keys being held down w/ InputBegan and recalculate the velocity based on the keys being held. Use InputEnd to get rid of the key being held down, and recalculate the velocity.
Alright, thanks for the help!
