Make a plane using VectorForce

#1

So I want to make my plane fly using VectorForce but I don’t know how to properly make it. It goes to fast.

local speed = 30

local function getModelMass()
	local mass = 0
	for i,v in ipairs(plane:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			mass += v.AssemblyMass
		end
	end
	return mass
end

local mass = getModelMass()
local force = (mass * FlyPart.CFrame.LookVector * speed)
VectorForce.Force = force

Have you tried turning down the speed?

#3

Yes, but that would make the plane unable to fly.

#4

Even lowering by like 1 would make it unable to fly?

Is it because its in a loop?

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(delta)
	if isOn.Value == true then
		--FlyPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = FlyPart.CFrame.LookVector * speed.Value
		local mass = getModelMass()
		local force = (mass * FlyPart.CFrame.LookVector * speed.Value)
		VectorForce.Force = force
	end
end)

You can try printing out the force to see if it is changing at all.

#7

It prints out large numbers like in the ten thousands.

Do the numbers keep growing or stay around one value?

#9

They keep growing.

#10

Well actually since its multiplying by the lookvector that would make since that its changing.

#11

You can try dividing the force by 2 before putting it in the vectorforce

#12 
local mass = getModelMass()
local force = (mass * FlyPart.CFrame.LookVector * speed.Value) / 2
print(force)
VectorForce.Force = force

The controlling is harder with VectorForce. Should I use something else than VectorForce?

#13

Another option you could try is using velocity.

#14

How can I make the plane go down when going at a low speed?

I tried doing:

local downVelocity = -speed / 10

But that would make it go down fast if the plane goes faster.

#15

Try multiplying it instead of dividing, multiply it with a value between 0 and 1.

#16

Doesn’t seem to work.

local downForceVelocity = -speed.Value * 0.5
FlyPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(FlyPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity.X, downForceVelocity, FlyPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Z)
#17

Was it working before when you were dividing it, what changed when you multiplied it?

#18

None of them worked. I don’t think anything changed.

#19

Dose the plane go forward at least?
