Directional dash help

[runic nebula]

So I’m new at Roblox studio and coding in general and I have no clue how to do this

You can use :Dot

it compares the direction of two things

You can compare the lookvector and movedirection

local example = humanoidRootPart.cframe.Lookvector:Dot(humanoid.MoveDirection)

or the other way around

it returns a scale of -1 to 1

lookvector is where the character is facing so if its 1 that means the player is moving in the direction they are looking at

-1 means they are opposite

so 1 is a front direction dash and -1 is back

for side to side directions you need to make a space around 0

so a range like -0.35 to 0.35

to determine left or right can do the same thing

you can get the rightvector

:Dot(movedirection)

if its 1 that would be right -1 is left

those are just the directions

for the dash you need to apply some kind of velocity like vectorforce for example pretty simple

@gleaming moon i followed a tut for a combat system but it isnt working for some reason can we like call and i screenshare yiou the scripts to see whats wrong or do i record and send you the stuff

also im like completley new to coding and it doesnt make sense to me

[gleaming moon]

first send me the stuff

also how much experience do you have

for a combat system you'd probably need module scripts
