Help with decelerating part

I am currently using the parts velocity to move the part around using the mouse position look vector, however once a force is applied on the part it never stops. I have no idea how to stop with a Vector3

while game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() do
	if Acceleration == true then

		Ball.Velocity += Vector3.new(-100,0,100)
	end
	if Ball.Velocity.X > 0 or Ball.Velocity.Z > 0 then
		Acceleration = false
	end
end

Currently, when ever I try to decelerate it with this code it just accelerates instead depending on were the mouse position was. Can someone help.

Just set the velocity of the object to Vector3.zero

But then the ball won’t even accelerate and will just say idle. I want a smooth deceleration to 0 not an instant stop in force. Tweening is also not an option too.

Then use :ApplyImpulse()
ApplyImpulse

BasePart:ApplyImpulse() dosen’t stop the velocity of an object, instead it applies an instant impulse and then slowly decelerates the object.

would there be an alternative because I would want to be able to configure how fast the ball decelerate at, which I’m not sure BasePart:ApplyImpulse() can do.

I don’t think there are any constraints that do that, however you could instead do something like


local velocityTarget = Vector3.zero
local velocityReduction = Vector3.new(-1, 0, -1)

repeat 
    BasePart.AssemblyLinearVelocity += velocityReduction 
    game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait()
until BasePart.AssemblyLinearVelocity == velocityTarget

It doesn’t work and instead it continues to accelerate, thank you for the help.

Have you changed the velocityReduction ?

11

yes, I have still the same problem

12

Oh, wierd. Can I see your code?

14

If you wanted to do that, you will need a specific goal

15

how would I implement a specific goal to set the AssemblyLinearVelocity to 0 on this code.

You could save the time from when you accelerated, and then you decelerate after a given amount of seconds
