Help With Suspension System For Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. I’m trying to make a system where the character’s character follows a part using AlignPosition and AlignOrientation. I’m currently trying to make it so that the CharacterController(the part that the character is connected to make it move around) will stay slightly above the ground using Raycasts.

  2. The Issue is that the part just starts glitching all over the place and I can’t find any tutorials that work with my code to make the suspension system.

  3. I tried looking on YouTube and the DevForum but all I found was stuff about car suspension which I don’t know how to implement into just a single part

Here is my current code and what happens(I haven’t pressed any keys to trigger the W A S D functions I made):

local function raycastDown()
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
	raycastParams.IgnoreWater = true
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(characterController.Position + Vector3.new(0, -1, 0), Vector3.new(0, -5, 0), raycastParams)

	if raycastResult then
		characterController.Position = Vector3.new(characterController.Position.X, raycastResult.Position.Y + 3, characterController.Position.Z)
		--local rotation = CFrame.new(raycastResult.Position, raycastResult.Position + raycastResult.Normal)
		--local yaw, pitch, roll = rotation:ToEulerAnglesYXZ() 
		--characterController.Orientation = Vector3.new(math.deg(pitch), math.deg(yaw), math.deg(roll))
	else
		
	end
end

Oh I had already done this complete with physics substepping to handle low fps scenarios. The version with springs was with an old method since I found using SUVAT equations to be more rigid and more character controller like.
