Gradual Vehicle Speed Decrease System

[stuck bridge]

I want to make a vehicle slow down as if it's driving in grass. I've listed the things that I've already tried below and their faults:

1. Get Velocity>Vector Get Magnitude>Subtracted by 0.5>Velocity Reflect
   This would work and occasionally does but most of the time the Get Velocity reflects a value of 0 which when subtracted does not equal a positive value.

2. Velocity Reflect: Maximum Speed
   This does slow the car down but it's instantaneous.

3. Velocity Add: Multiplier (0.01)
   This just did nothing and I'm not sure why.

So if there are any suggestions that would be great

for the first option you could just clamp the result
for the second you can use lerp to smooth out the value
but if i remember correctly you could edit the speed of the car in its chip. correct me if im wrong

I used the lerp and it worked for a moment and now I'm still having issues tracking the vehicle speed with the Get Velocity chip

[sweet thorn]

does it just give you 0 sometimes or smth?

you can try to use a workaround by just clamping a vector component and getting its velocity

[stuck bridge]

Yeah exactly that. Sometimes it shows the accurate velocity and other times it shows 0

or getting velocity of the player inside

I was typing this out as you sent it

I found out that the reason the Get Velocity chip often displays a 0 is because I have a Velocity Add chip that interferes with it. For some reason the velocity briefly resets to 0 when any velocity is added to it.

i thought they fixed it already

This is rec room we're talking about

Anyway is there a possibility to input a value and save it? So I can use that value instead of the current one?
