Linear Velocity covering less distance when moving on an axis compared to diagonally

[PhantomV3x (V3x)]

Video above shows that when I “Dash” and my MoveDirection is ~ 0, 0, 1 I will cover far less distance then when I dash on a diagonal in between the axis.

I’ve tried replicating it with 2 parts but they both move at the same speed, not like what I’m seeing when using the character.

I’m really not sure what’s happening, any help is greatly appreciated.

Code is below:

local velocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
velocity.VelocityConstraintMode = Enum.VelocityConstraintMode.Vector
velocity.ForceLimitsEnabled = true
velocity.ForceLimitMode = Enum.ForceLimitMode.PerAxis
velocity.MaxAxesForce = Vector3.new(10000, 0, 10000)
velocity.Attachment0 = hrp.RootAttachment
velocity.Parent = hrp.RootAttachment

local strength = 150
local minStrength = strength * 0.15
local iterations = duration / rate
local removalPerIteration = strength / iterations

for i = 0, duration, rate do
	if hum.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
		print("Using Last Direction")
		velocity.VectorVelocity = lastDirection * strength
	else
		print("Using Move Direction")
		lastDirection = hum.MoveDirection
		velocity.VectorVelocity = (hum.MoveDirection) * strength
	end
		
	print("Velocity: ", velocity.VectorVelocity)
	print("Strength: ", strength)

	if strength > minStrength then

		strength -=  removalPerIteration

		if strength < minStrength then

			strength = minStrength

		end

	end

	task.wait(rate)
end

velocity:Destroy()

Try setting your MaxForce of the LinearVelocity on the X and Z axes to inf or just a really big number so that they take control over the assembly’s velocity completely instead of letting it be influenced by things like friction. For example, if you keep your current solution and try jumping while dashing, you’ll also see you’ll go farther & faster because you are not grounded.

You may have to adjust your strength values after.

This fixes the issue I was having, but now rolling into something flings you.

[Synteuro]

Flings you as in you sort of trip?

If so, use humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown, false), preferably before they can dash at all (e.g. when they spawn), and you only need to do it once unless you enable it again.

[PhantomV3x (V3x)]

Nope, the character just goes flying away when using a massive number, but falls on the floor when using something like 75000-100000. This is the same even when using the SetStateEnabled thing.

Using math.huge for the max force:

Using 75000 for the max force:

[Synteuro]

Did you adjust the strength based on the math.huge change to the MaxForce?

And, you are FallingDown still, so wherever you set the state to false isn’t doing the trick or is being re-enabled.

[PhantomV3x (V3x)]

In fact, after playing with a few different max forces, setting the X and Z to 20,000 works perfectly.

Thanks for your help!
