  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I’m trying to learn ways/methods to how I can make a player swap surfaces of a part in my wall climbing system.

  1. What is the issue?

I’m having issues thinking of ways I can make my wall climbing system swap sides.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?

I’ve thought of rotating 90 degrees using my gyro based on which key I was holding but I remember the last time I attempted to make a wall climbing system that only ruined my code.

Test: Home - Roblox

There are bugs but I am looking for ideas on how to swap sides.

Thanks, have a nice day!

I would shoot 2 rays from each hand at an angle

And check if the normal from either right or left ray is different from the normal you’re currently on, and switch to that side

k I’ll try that Thirt cars

The hand solution isn’t working for me, I probably got my math wrong since I don’t know how to really rotate directions.

I fixed some bugs and I updated the map.
