How do I change speed on a model?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1
  • What are you attempting to achieve? - Changing the speed of my speedboat
  • What is the issue? - Basically when the speedboat initially starts it goes really fast and I just want to slow it down.
  • What solutions have you tried so far? - I’ve tried browsing youtube and the wiki but found nothing. I do have suspicions that a velocity would be added but I don’t know.

Here is the script to make it function (It’s a self driving boat btw, so it is moving by a script not an actual player driving it, so there is no confusion in this topic)

for i = 0,-100,-.1 do
script.Parent:TranslateBy(Vector3.new(i,0,0))
wait()

Thanks once again :slightly_smiling_face:

What is the hierarchy of script.Parent? It will help solve the problem.

Do you want a collisions to be possible with the boat or is it just a cutscene type of thing?

#3

Have you played the game ‘Camping’ where a certain amount of people are in the truck then it drives off, I want my boat to do that but go at a reasonable speed.

And the hierarchy of script.Parent is just the BoatMesh with the seats inside of it, everything that holds it

#4

It could be possible that Camping uses Tween for their Truck to move

TweenService

Otherwise

I would use Model:MoveTo() or Model:SetPrimaryCFrame() instead of Model:TranslateBy()

Thanks @RuizuKun_Dev this method worked like a charm, I just used a tween and now it runs at a reasonable pace.
