Can't turn with BodyVelocity

[J14_J (samsulekenthusiast)]

I’m making a dashing system that adds a BodyVelocity whenever you dash, but I’m not able to turn sideways while dashing. Is there a way to fix this?

Heres my dash function:

function dash(side, front)
	local DashVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	DashVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)
	DashVelocity.P = 99
	DashVelocity.Parent = hrp
	DashVelocity.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector * (front * 50) + hrp.CFrame.RightVector * (side * 50) 
	game.Debris:AddItem(DashVelocity, .20)
end

Try this with a humanoid.

DashVelocity.Velocity = humanoid.MoveDirection * 50

MoveDirection represents the direction in which the humanoid is attempting to walk. So, this will work for all directions.

Use a LinearVelocity instead of a BodyVelocity.

LinearVelocity | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

You can edit the properties of the LinearVelocity so it applies force relative to an attachment (in this case, your character’s RootRigAttachment.)

**Also, these should be the properties needed (sorry if it’s wrong, this is from memory):

• Set Attachment0 to the RootRigAttachment (in the HumanoidRootPart)
• Set ActuatorRelativeTo to “Attachment0”
• Set VectorVelocity to Vector3.new(0, 0,- speed) (speed being how fast the dash is)

You may have to experiment with the VectorVelocity and MaxForces, but this should do the trick.

you must constantly update the velocity of the dash in order to achieve a turning effect:

function dash(side, front)
	local DashVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	DashVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,0,math.huge)
	DashVelocity.P = 99
	DashVelocity.Parent = hrp
	repeat
		wait()
		DashVelocity.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector * (front * 50) + hrp.CFrame.RightVector * (side * 50) 
	until wait(1)
	DashVelocity:Destroy()
end
