Dash effect causing the player to anchor

Heya everyone.

I’m making a dash ability for a game and wanted to add an effect to dashing where frames lag behind you. The issue is that it anchors the player.

I think that this might be because the cloned body parts have their welds cloned as well.

Removing the welds and motor6d works, but the frames aren’t aligning correctly

do you mean the parts aren’t line up due to time gap between parts being cloned?

#5

might work best if you clone character as a whole and then anchor the parts of the clone

#6

Might as well, actually.

Anyway, here’s the video about what I meant

#7

I think that might be caused by the lookvector of the body parts being different actually

#8

Alright. Well, I’m doing the “Clone character, anchor body parts” technique, but it won’t let me parent it to the workspace.

You need to set Character.Archivable = true to clone the character

It seems to work now!, Thank you!
