  1. How do I check if player is on air and have a certain distance from the ground?

  2. Is hard to check when using raycast in server since it sometime don’t match with the client.

  3. The solution I have so far is raycasting with client script

You stated that you already have a solution since you’ve posted this does that mean there’s a preferable method you’re looking for?

the client still somehow buggy with raycast so I’m still looking for better way

#4

raycasting is usually the way to go but theres also humanoid.floormaterial and when they are off the ground it will return .Air

#5

In what sense is the client buggy?

#6

like sometime I using vector force or any velocity on player it some how still think player is on ground

#7

can you send over the script(s) used?

#8 
module.OnGround = function(Character)
	local Value = "OnAir"
	
	local rayParams = RaycastParams.new()
	rayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
	rayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character,workspace.Terrain,workspace.Entities}
	local ray = workspace:Raycast(Character.PrimaryPart.Position,Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame.UpVector * -10,rayParams)
	if ray and ray.Distance <= 10 then
		Value = "OnGround"
	end
	
	return Value
end

and

Running.AirTrick = function(Character)
	Character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
	delay(1,function()
		Character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = true

	end)
	
	local Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment",Character.PrimaryPart)
	Debris:AddItem(Attachment,.75)
	
	local AlignPosition = Instance.new("AlignPosition",Attachment)
	AlignPosition.MaxForce = 100000
	AlignPosition.Mode = Enum.PositionAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
	AlignPosition.ApplyAtCenterOfMass = true
	AlignPosition.Responsiveness = 1000
	AlignPosition.Position = (Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,25,0)).Position
	AlignPosition.Attachment0 = Attachment
	
	local AlignOrientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation",Attachment)
	AlignOrientation.CFrame = Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
	AlignOrientation.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
	AlignOrientation.Attachment0 = Attachment
	AlignOrientation.RigidityEnabled = true
	AlignOrientation.PrimaryAxisOnly = true
end

what are you trying to accomplish and why do you need to know the distance to the ground
