How could I edit this rolling script to add Side rolls?

Hey, I’m trying to add a rolling mechanic to my game. I want the player to be able to “side roll” when the “locked” variable is set to true (in a different script) based on whether they are holding A or D. I just don’t know how to start though. here is my script

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
		if debounce == false and locked == false then
			print("hello locked = false")
			debounce = true
			roll:Play()
			HRP.Velocity = HRP.CFrame.lookVector*150
			wait(1)
			debounce = false
		elseif debounce == false and locked == true then
			if UIS.IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then
														-- where the script for right rolling should go
			elseif UIS.IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then  
														-- where the script for left rolling should go				
			end
		end
	end
end)

I tried doing HRP.Velocity = Vector3.new(150, 0 , -150) but it didnt work very consistently. If anyone who knows more about velocity than me can help, it would be a great service to me. Thanks in advance!

Looking at older posts but
You could assign a BodyVelocity so that it will keep moving in a consistent direction to whatever the HRP variable is (Assuming it’s a BasePart of some sort)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
		if debounce == false and locked == false then
			print("hello locked = false")
			debounce = true
			roll:Play()
			HRP.Velocity = HRP.CFrame.lookVector*150
			wait(1)
			debounce = false
		elseif debounce == false and locked == true then

			if UIS.IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then
                --NEW STUFF--
                local RightVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
                RightVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math,huge) --This just basically prevents it from slowing down at all if you want it to move at a constant speed
                RightVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(150, 0, 0) --Or wherever right is
														
			elseif UIS.IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then  
                local LeftVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
                LeftVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math,huge) 
                LeftVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(-150, 0, 0)
					-- Same thing for the LeftVelocity as well			
			end
		end
	end
end)

I was actually able to fix this problem by using the RightVector property of CFrame. I was about to mark this problem as solved. This solution works as well though!
