Vehicle script doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a racing game, and the first vehicle I’m making is a rideable shopping car. Though, the script doesn’t propel me forward and also for some reason the cart just kind of… floats?

Code:

local seat = script.Parent
local shoppingCart = seat.Parent
local cart = shoppingCart:WaitForChild("Cart")
local linearVelocity = cart.LinearVelocity

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Throttle"):Connect(function(value)
	if value == 1 then
		linearVelocity.VectorVelocity.Z = Vector3.new(0, 0, 5)
	elseif value == -1 then
		linearVelocity.VectorVelocity.Z = Vector3.new(0, 0, -5)
	end
end)

You cannot set the individual axes of a vector. Get rid of the .Z

It is probably floating because of the default values in the linear velocity.

They are all zero, although I lowered the max force to 75 from inf+ and it ended up fixing it.

Though, I still cannot move the vehicle. Nothing’s getting printed into the output.

local seat = script.Parent
local shoppingCart = seat.Parent
local cart = shoppingCart:WaitForChild("Cart")
local linearVelocity = cart.LinearVelocity

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Throttle"):Connect(function(value)
	if value == 1 then
		linearVelocity.VectorVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 5)
		
		print(1)
	elseif value == -1 then
		linearVelocity.VectorVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, -5)
		
		print(-1)
	end
end)
