How can I make a smoother side dash?

Hi there, I have scripted a dash system but i dont know how to make the side dashes smoother like strongest battlegrounds… I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how I can achieve it?

My dashes : Watch 2024-03-20 16-28-16 | Streamable
The dashses I want to replicate : Watch 2024-03-20 16-28-45 | Streamable

this is the code for the side dashes

-- the code is obv cut....

local dashConfig = {
	forward = {speed = 100, time = 1},
	backward = {speed = 75, time = 1},
	left = {speed = 75, time = 0.5},
	right = {speed = 75, time = 0.5}
}
	isDashing = true
	dashDirection = directionKey
	lastDashTimes[directionKey] = tick()
	lastDashTimeAnyDirection = tick()
	local oldWalkSpeed = character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
	character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(50000, 0, 50000)
	bodyVelocity.P = 12500
	bodyVelocity.Parent = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local startingPosition = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position
	local estimatedFinal = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.Position + (character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector * (bodyVelocity.MaxForce / 850))
-- cut here again 
local currentTime = tick()
			local currentDirectionVector = initialDirection
			if dashDirection == "forward" then
				if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then
					currentDirectionVector = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector
				end
			elseif dashDirection == "left" then
				if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then
					currentDirectionVector = -character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.RightVector
				end
			elseif dashDirection == "backward" then
				if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.S) then
					currentDirectionVector = -character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector
				end
			elseif dashDirection == "right" then
				if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then
					currentDirectionVector = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.RightVector
				end
			end

The velocity from the strongest battle ground’s dashes progressively slow down and don’t instantly end. Think of lerping the velocity value down instead of just destroying it when the time’s up.
Edit: The animation’s weight also lowers with the ending of the side dash so experiment with that as well.
