Is this a good way to make a levitating coin effect?

Hi, I want to do something like this but I think there is a better way than mine. My problem is that i can’t find the exact required force. After a while the coin ends up underground or gradually goes up. I want it smoother and precise

this is my bodyvelocity:

and the script:

while true do 

script.Parent.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1000,348,1000)

wait(3)

script.Parent.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1000,346,1000)

wait(5)

end

I would recommend using TweenService. In that, you can anchor your part and move it in a more controlled way.

All you need to do is get the position of the coin and tween the Y component endlessly. To make it repeat forever, set repeat amount to a negative number like -1. Plus, you need to make it tween back to the original place instead of just teleporting there, so set the next argument to true.

local x, y, z = coin.Position.X, coin.Position.Y, coin.Position.Z
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(2.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -1, true, 0)
local pos = {Position = Vector3.new(x, y + 5, z)}
local tween = ts:Create(coin, ti, pos)

tween:Play()

That should work. Obviously you’ll need to set up the X, Y and Z variables yourself when the coin has been created in a specific location, but that’s quite simple.
