Hey everyone! I noticed that modifying Humanoid.WalkSpeed affects how fast a character swims horizontally / downward, but it doesn’t seem to change the vertical (upward) swim speed when pressing the spacebar.
Does anyone know how to increase the upward swimming speed specifically? I want to make the character ascend faster while swimming.
Any tips or properties I should look into would be appreciated!
You would have to get the humanoids state and check if it is swimming and possibly connect it through RunService.Heartbeat, if they are you can create a new instance LinearVelocity to the player.
Is there any way to calculate for the velocity or idk, which kinda resembles humanoid walkspeed?
you could try to use Humanoid.MoveDirection instead, since it’s just Vector3,new(Forward/Backward, Up/Down (what you'll be needing), Left/Right)
well i need to increase the speed tho, to make it similar to Humanoid.WalkSpeed
use LinearVelocity as the gentleman above suggested. WalkSpeed and LinearVelocity both share scale in Studs i’m pretty sure.
Which properties should I modify?
Why don’t you just check if the player is moving up and increase the walkspeed maybe a nice smooth lerp from a to b? and if not then b to a! or just current walkspeed:lerp(newwalkspeed, 0.1)
When you swim, and you try to go up with space, it’s not using WalkSpeed.
Roblox has a limit on the swim speed so there’s no properties to modify. However, a solution you can try is to add an upward force to the character. AlignPosition | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
it’s Left/Right, Up/Down, Forward/Backward
