Help with Dash velocity

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Currently, I am working on a game with a dash feature. This feature currently uses BodyVelocity to push a character forward, left, right, or backwards depending on the wasd key pressed. The main issue I have is that for some reason or another, the character has less velocity when dashing on the ground, or when they have certain tools equipped. I would like the dash to be more streamlined, so they always go the same distance whether they are dashing in the air or on the ground. Is there any way to make this code better?

Here is the code I am currently using:

dashremote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, dir)
	if not canDash then return end
	
	local stagger = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Stagger").Value
	
	if isKnocked.Value == false then
		canDash = false	

		local char = player.Character
		local root = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")	
		local MaxStagger = 300 + (player:WaitForChild("Data"):FindFirstChild("Endurance").Value * 3)
		
		if char.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("RacePowder") == nil then
			char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Stagger").Value -= 10
		end

		local StaggerBar = player.PlayerGui.GUI.StaggerBar.Stagger
		local staggerGUI = StaggerBar.Parent.Label
		local StaggerHP = StaggerBar.StaggerLabel

		staggerGUI.Text = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Stagger").Value .. ' / ' .. MaxStagger
		StaggerHP.Text = staggerGUI.Text

		StaggerBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Stagger").Value / MaxStagger, 0, 1, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 0.05, true)


		player:WaitForChild("Data"):WaitForChild("Athletics XP").Value += 60

		local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", root)
		bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(10000,0,10000)
		bv.Velocity = (char.Torso.CFrame* CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(dir), 0)).lookVector * 90

		game.Debris:AddItem(bv, dashDuration)
		local anim = script.DashForward
		if dir == 180 then
			anim = script.DashBackward
		elseif dir == 90 then
			anim = script.DashLeft
		elseif dir == -90 then
			anim = script.DashRight
		end

		local playanim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
		playanim:Play()

		wait(dashDuration)
		playanim:Stop()

		wait(dashCooldown - dashDuration)
		canDash = true
	end
end)

I don’t know if that’s the case but it might work fine with BodyPosition, Since I am pretty sure that bodyVelocity is affected by the weight of the character and objects allied to it. (please correct me if I am wrong)

Im not sure if that will work but it does give me an idea. I’ll try it and let you know how it goes.
