#1

I want the player to gain speed when they’re going down and when they go up lose speed gradually until they eventuallly stall. How does one go about scripting this?

I would try to check the angle of the player each frame, and depending if they go over 180 degrees, deplete their speed, otherwise add speed.

That sounds smart, which type of constraint should I use? I know theres stuff like LinearVelocity, VectorForce and LineForce but I don’t really know the difference between them.

I would use VectorForce, and check each frame using RunService.Heartbeat.
