How can I make a water only Jetski?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! How can I make myself a Jetski? It needs to only move in water. It also has a very high speed so I don’t want it flipping over from torque or acceleration. I have made a very simple script that makes body velocity move it when a WASD key is pressed but it flips over and isn’t to great.

All the best, GalaxyWorld

You will have to program this with Lua (which you can learn here).

If you’d like to do this, some topics that might be of interest are:

For the movement of the jetski I suggest a BodyVelocity and for controlling the jetski’s rotation you could use a BodyGyro. But if neither of those options work for you, you can always use CFrame! There are many different methods in which you could create this jetski but these are just 2 options, goodluck.

Thanks for the help! I have used CFrame and it works exceptionally well. Thanks for the quick replies!

Roblox water actual allows for screw propellers to actually generate motion. Look up Propeller Boat (Body Mover Free!) or Boat Working With Water in the toolbox if you’re interested in the detail they put into the physics.The spinning T Handle in space problem is also remarkably executable in the Roblox physics engine with gravity on zero.
