Need Help, Fan Air Resistance Force

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m using an BodyForce to cause air resistance when infront of an fan, but it does a lot more force whilst in the air, are there any fixes or alternatives to doing this?

local Fan = {}
Fan.__index = Fan

function Fan.new(f)
	local self = setmetatable({}, Fan)
	self.fan = f
	self.Region = f:WaitForChild("Region")
	return self
end

function Fan:Activate()
	local overlapParams = OverlapParams.new()
	overlapParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {self.fan}
	
	local playersAffected = {}

	game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		local parts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(self.Region, overlapParams)
		
		for i, p in ipairs(parts) do
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent)

			if player then
				if not playersAffected[player] then
					playersAffected[player] = true
					local character = p.Parent
					local characterRoot = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
					local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

					local direction = self.fan.PrimaryPart.CFrame.RightVector
					local windStrength = self.fan:GetAttribute("WindStrength")

					local direciton = characterRoot.CFrame.LookVector
					local resistanceForce = direction * windStrength

					local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce", characterRoot)
					bodyForce.Force = resistanceForce
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

return Fan

I’ve also experimented with an VectorForce, but I’m still facing the issue of significantly increased force when the character is in the air, I do believe is related to an inherent downward force in the Roblox character, but I can’t be to sure. Any insight, alternatives, and help would be appreciated.
