How to go about making a bike jump?

How would I go about making a bicycle jump? I’ve tried the following, where I already have a VectorForce controlling the forward movement of the bike. However, I’m unsure if a VectorForce is appropriate for making it jump, and I can’t think of alternative ways. This is what I’ve got and I’ve basically hit a brick wall in my brain from here. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

local HoldingSpace = false
local Jumping = false

function JumpChanged()
	while HoldingSpace do
		if not Jumping then
			Jumping = true
			
			Force.Force = Vector3.new(Force.Force.X, 1000, Force.Force.Z) -- increase the Y force by 1000
			
			repeat task.wait() until PlayerHasFinishedJumpAndIsBackOnTheGround -- dont know how to detect once the player is back on the ground
			
			Jumping = false -- player is on the ground! let us jump again!
		end
	end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		HoldingSpace = true
		
		JumpChanged()
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(Key)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		HoldingSpace = false
	end
end)

Hey!

You can use a vectorforce, bodyforce, velocity and a pulse on an object.

By modifying certain values you can create many amazing things!

Also, you can try this script:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local HoldingSpace = false
local Jumping = false

local function isPlayerOnTheGround() 
    return false
end

local function JumpChanged()
	while HoldingSpace do
		if not Jumping then
			Jumping = true
			Force.Force = Vector3.new(Force.Force.X, 1000, Force.Force.Z)
			repeat
				task.wait(0.1)
			until isPlayerOnTheGround()
			
			Jumping = false
		else
			task.wait(0.1)
		end
	end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, Processed)
    if not Processed and Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		HoldingSpace = true
		JumpChanged()
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(Key)
	if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		HoldingSpace = false
	end
end)

You can use ApplyImpulse to give the bike instant velocity upward, also to detect when the bike is on ground you can use raycasting

The question I’m asking is how would I detect if the player is on the ground? I don’t understand, you just copy and pasted my original script and added a function?

ApplyImpulse works well, but the bike tips forward instead of staying upright. The bike is massless, however.

Try using LinearVelocity or AssemblyLinearVelocity of a part.
