(Answered) Jet Pack works to fly but can't move on X and Z?

I made a jet pack which works to fly when I hold down E, but for some reason when I hold down E it works to fly up but I can't move around using the WASD or Arrow keys? It works to move around when I'm in the air only if I'm not holding down E.

01local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02local HoldingE = false
03local YVelocity = 0
04 
05UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject) 
06    if(inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E)then
07        HoldingE = true
08        while HoldingE do
09    YVelocity = YVelocity + 10
10    script.Parent.JetPack.Handle.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(4000, 4000, 4000)
11    script.Parent.JetPack.Handle.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, YVelocity, 0)
12            wait(0.1)
13        end
14 
15    end
16end)
17UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(inputObject)
18    if(inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E)then
19        HoldingE = false
20        YVelocity = 0
21        script.Parent.JetPack.Handle.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
22    end
23end)

I've tried removing this part of the script:

1YVelocity = YVelocity + 10
2script.Parent.JetPack.Handle.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(4000, 4000, 4000)
3script.Parent.JetPack.Handle.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, YVelocity, 0)
4        wait(0.1)
5    end

And when I removed that part I was able to move using the WASD and Arrow keys, so I would assume that the problem is something to do with the body velocity? (I'm New With Body Velocity)

The problem is that the BodyVelocity.Velocity property is trying to always set your X and Z velocity to 0.

The solution is to make it so the MaxForce property will not do anything to the X and Z values.

01local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02local HoldingE = false
03local YVelocity = 0
04 
05UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject) 
06    local handle = script.Parent.JetPack.Handle
07    if(inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E)then
08        HoldingE = true
09        while HoldingE do
10    YVelocity = YVelocity + 10
11  handle.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 4000, 0) -- change max force
12    handle.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, YVelocity, 0) 
13            wait(0.1)
14        end
15 
16    end
17end)
18UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(inputObject)
19    local handle = script.Parent.JetPack.Handle
20    if(inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E)then
21        HoldingE = false
22        YVelocity = 0
23        handle.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
24    end
25end)
