Help with adding a turn feature to my skis

[pwoogle]

1. What do you want to achieve? I am trying to add a turning feature into my skis but i can’t figure how to.

2. What is the issue? The Problem I have is in my skis don’t have a turning feature like a d and i can’t figure out how to add my animations in and script it.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried to fix but i don’t know were to add to even start (i am trying learning lua)

here is the tool i am using (I have all ready animated in the left/right turn animation)

If you could tell me what and were I need to script in the turning feature that would be great

You’ll need to create custom controls. UserInputService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub and also check out Input and Camera | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub. I’m working on some custom controls for a similar situation.
