Vector force performs wildly different with and without jump

[hollow ermine]

vector forces make me want to jump off a cliff

local function dash()
    local c = player.Character
    if c.Name == "Astolfo" and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        
        local h = c.Humanoid
        local hrp = c.HumanoidRootPart
        
        local loadedA = h.Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
        
        local dashdirection = nil
        local movedirection = h.MoveDirection
        local lookvector = hrp.CFrame.LookVector
        
        if movedirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
            dashdirection = hrp.Position + Vector3.new(lookvector.X, 0, lookvector.Z)
        else
            dashdirection = hrp.Position + Vector3.new(movedirection.X, 0, movedirection.Z)
        end
        
        local gyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
        gyro.Parent = hrp
        gyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
        gyro.D = 0
        gyro.P = 500000
        gyro.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(hrp.Position, dashdirection)
        
        local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
        attachment.Parent = hrp
        
        local force = Instance.new("VectorForce")
        force.Parent = hrp
        print(hrp.AssemblyMass)
        force.Attachment0 = attachment
        force.Force = Vector3.new(0, 0, -velocity)
        
        loadedA:Play()
        h.AutoRotate = false
        
        
        wait(duration)
        
        h.AutoRotate = true
        force:Destroy()
        gyro:Destroy()
        attachment:Destroy()
        loadedA:Stop()
        
        wait(cooldown)
        
        debounce = false
    end
end

here's the code

I removed hrp.AssemblyMass * Workspace.Gravity + 5 from force.Force

which I thought would make me not drag on the ground

it did not

[twilit sleet]

well first of all i think for what you want to accomplish, ImpulseVectors would be a lot easier to use

[hollow ermine]

they looked so wierd

[twilit sleet]

secondly i think the solution here is to check whether or not the player is on the ground

before u apply the force

[hollow ermine]

I added that

[twilit sleet]

Really? u must have done something weird then

[hollow ermine]

nah I didn't do it

[twilit sleet]

tweak it more. Give them much less velocity if they're in the air and way more if they're on the ground

[hollow ermine]

ill try impulse ig

[twilit sleet]

youll probably still get similar results though, i just suggested impulse because it would make your code way way shorter and simpler

[hollow ermine]

applyimpulse right

[twilit sleet]

try applying drastically different velocities depending on whether or not theyre on the ground

Ya applyimpulse

[hollow ermine]

the documentation just tells me how to union things tf

[twilit sleet]

ahahaha whort

[hollow ermine]

well im moving now

[twilit sleet]

thats weird

[hollow ermine]

backwards

hrp:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 0, velocity))

velocity is 4000

why am I goin backwards

also I feel like a force may be better for the effect I want to achieve

it jus dont work

apparently it's because of my custom character @twilit sleet

im confused

[twilit sleet]

i dont think that should affect it at all

could i see ur new script?

the one ur usin with the Impulse

[hollow ermine]

ima remove the mass on the accessories

[twilit sleet]

I dont think accessories have mass

cause if they did like

it would screw with people's games

[hollow ermine]

they do

[twilit sleet]

are you certain? i really dont think they do...

i dont see why they would

[hollow ermine]

well they definitely had mass

[twilit sleet]

they do not

[hollow ermine]

that was it

[twilit sleet]

it changed something? thats very very strange. They should not have mass when equipped

[hollow ermine]

well it was more just mesh parts attached to the char

[twilit sleet]

Meshes have no mass either

what problem are you having that led you to believe it was your accessories?

i may be able to help

i have a lot of experience with movement vectors

[twilit sleet]

Ohh i see why this confused you now

its irrelevant that it has that

while equipped, its automatically massless

regardless of that boolean

[hollow ermine]

ah

[twilit sleet]

What issue are you having? is it the same one where you move too much in the air?

[hollow ermine]

I ended up removing the ability to do it in the air or jump while doing it

now I just need a ton of force

[twilit sleet]

ahh okay. I hope that isnt too bad of a compromise. If you ever change your mind, its very very easy to fix the moving too much in the air.
