Add more velocity on top of velocity?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

script:


mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
	
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity+player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*1000)
	

end)
while true do 
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity =  player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*40 
end

when added inpulse, it resets quickly after, its because of the while true do loop, how ever if i do something like

while true do 
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity +player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*40 
end

it will accelerate because its adding it again and again, how could i make it go forward while maintaining the current velocity?

#2

You're already accomplishing this by using the while loop:

It seems like what youre trying to do is to make it so when you click with your mouse it gives you a boost?

#3

yeah like a dash, i need it to kinda go forward and have the while loop be able to be affected by outside velocity, however it just resets after.

#4

I wouldn’t recommend using Velocity due to it being deprecated, Instead you should use AssemblyLinearVelocity

If the issue is your Char suddenly halting try to find a way to lower the (Friction)

(Example for using AssemblyLinearVelocity)
For the script I’d suggest doing this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HRP = Char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

Mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
	local Velocity = HRP.AssemblyLinearVelocity + HRP.CFrame.LookVector*1000
	HRP:ApplyImpulse(Velocity)
end)
#5

yeah i did that, new code:

mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer("ChargeEnded",charge)
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*1005)
	charge = 0
	held = false

end)
while true do
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*40
end

but it resets to that every time because of the loop, im trying to find a velocity alternative that allows for outside forces

#6

Does outside forces refer to a part hitting the player?

#7

no, theres a constant velocity (the loop), but I am trying to add a dash, which makesit faster, but the problem is, every time i add that velocity, it resets back to the loop. Outside forces is the apply inpulse/dash

#9

you could try using a linearvelocity object instead since the velocity is constant and parent it to the character’s root, and then just increase that velocity when you need to perform a dash

#10

first of all, I tried linear velocity before, it counters gravity, which isn’t good for what I’m doing, Secondly, the dash would be very robotic, I would like a sudden burst of velocity and then go back down to rightvector*40

#11

also linearvelocity doesn’t allow more velocity either (I think)

#12

ah ok what if you used a numbervalue that keeps track of the additional boost and every time the while loop loops, it gets that value and adds it

#13

yeah I tried that before, sadly it just resets after the next loop :sob:

#14

did something like that:

mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer("ChargeEnded",charge)
	dash = 100
	charge = 0
	held = false
	wait()
	dash = 0
end)

and used something like

player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*(40+charge)
#15

what about just a conditional that checks to see if a BoolValue is true instead

while true do
	local boosting = game.GetService("whateverpathhereis").BoostValue.Value
	if not boosting then
		player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*40
	else
		player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector*80
	end
end

or at least something along the lines of this

#16

yes but you see, when i activate it, to goes 80, but the NEXT loop, where I’m not activating it, resets it back to 40

#17

one second do you mind if i try this in studio

#18

what about if you tried the numbervalue idea but this time keep it at 80 and slowly decrement it over time so that way it goes back to 40

#19

damn I was trying to avoid thos method, really hacky and artificial, I would like to avoid this unless its the only solution possible

#20

k i understand , im going to try and mess around in studio to see if i can try to find a solution rq

#21

same. I am gonna read into other velocity types
