How can i make a vaulting script like every other parkour game has?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i want to achieve a parkour vault system which works on various object sizes, i would like it to be the similar to games like PARKOUR or PARKOUR REBORN

the issue is, it only works some of the time and its very different and worse compared to vault scripts in games ive previously mentioned

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Character = script.Parent
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

-- Vault animation setup
local VaultAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
VaultAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://128897073877701" -- Replace with your animation ID
local VaultAnimTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(VaultAnimation)

local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.RespectCanCollide = true
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character, workspace.CurrentCamera}

UIS.JumpRequest:Connect(function()
	if Humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then
		return
	end

	-- Perform raycasts to detect obstacles for vaulting
	local VaultCastHead = workspace:Raycast(Character.Head.CFrame.Position + Vector3.new(0, -0.5, -0.5), Root.CFrame.LookVector * 5, Params)
	local VaultCast = workspace:Raycast(Root.CFrame.Position + Vector3.new(0, -0.5, 0), Root.CFrame.LookVector * 3.5, Params)

	if VaultCastHead then
		return -- Don't vault if the head hits something
	end

	if not VaultCast then
		Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping) -- Normal jump if no obstacle detected
		return
	end

	-- Vaulting logic
	Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, false) -- Disable normal jumping

	-- Get the obstacle instance
	local obstacle = VaultCast.Instance
	obstacle.CanCollide = false -- Temporarily disable collision

	-- Check if the obstacle is a special vault enhancer
	local isBoosted = obstacle:GetAttribute("VaultBoost") or false

	-- Play the vault animation
	VaultAnimTrack:Play()

	-- Calculate landing position
	local obstaclePosition = obstacle.Position
	local obstacleHeight = obstacle.Size.Y / 2
	local overshootDistance = isBoosted and 30 or 20 -- Adjust overshoot distances
	local landingPosition = Vector3.new(
		obstaclePosition.X,
		obstaclePosition.Y + obstacleHeight + 1.5, -- Adjust for player height
		obstaclePosition.Z
	) + (Root.CFrame.LookVector * overshootDistance)

	-- Apply vault motion with adjusted velocity
	local vaultDirection = (landingPosition - Root.Position).unit
	local baseSpeed = 70 -- Base forward speed during vault
	local speedBoost = isBoosted and 40 or 10 -- Increased boost for special parts
	local upwardMotion = isBoosted and 25 or 10 -- Higher vertical motion for boosted parts
	Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity = vaultDirection * (baseSpeed + speedBoost) + Vector3.new(0, upwardMotion, 0)

	-- Wait for the vault to complete
	task.wait(0.4)

	-- Stop the vault animation
	VaultAnimTrack:Stop()

	-- Restore obstacle collision
	obstacle.CanCollide = true

	-- Re-enable jumping
	Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, true)

	-- Reset velocity to avoid excess motion after the vault
	Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Root.AssemblyLinearVelocity * 0.7 -- Smooth deceleration after vaulting
end)

this is my current script, it kinda works but its very janky and a bit broken, it also has a feature to boost on certain objects which i need for a stage in my game

any ideas on what i could do?
