Ice-walking effect for player

[lamonLikeTinyGamer (Lamon)]

Hey yall!

I need to make the character for my game to keep their momentum when moving (to put it in other words, move like they’re on ice), but without altering the physical properties of the map, since there are other players who cannot be affected by it.

I’ve searched far and wide in the devforum but could not find anything that works (changing the character’s PhysicalProperties, putting a part under the player with icy phisical properties, etc.)

Does anybody know a way I could achieve this?

I fiddled around with the humanoid but I couldn’t find any way to disable friction so in the end I just settled on calculating the velocity manually

I basically store a velocity value and accumulate velocity based on the character’s movement direction, and multiply it by a number smaller than 1 to apply air drag/damping

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local velocity = Vector3.new()

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
	velocity += humanoid.MoveDirection * 0.4
	velocity *= 0.996
	humanoidRootPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(velocity.X, humanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y, velocity.Z)
end)

Perhaps this could help if you set the acceleration to a low value.

Simulating smoother character movement?

EDIT EDIT EDIT :warning:EDIT There’s a bug in the code I posted. It’s quite easy to fix, see what it is and how to fix it here: Thanks to @dthecoolest for catching it Now here’s the rest of the comment: Can’t tell if you want character to accelerate slower without changing physical properties, or if you want to normally with changed physical properties. EDIT: nvm, figured it out Making proper reply I would make a custom mov…

Works perfectly, thank you so much!!
