Need help with a "steerable" dash system

[SanicBoy727]

I am creating a dash system for my fighting game, and when you dash, I want you to be able to sort-of steer the way you want to dash and it keeps all your momentum, like how Your Bizarre Adventure, The Strongest Battlegrounds, and Blox Fruits does it. My solution to this originally was using VectorForce, but I realized when I dash whilst airborne, I go 10x farther than a normal dash. Is there any alternative/way to fix this?

dashBind.Event:Connect(function()	
	local dashVelocity = 15000
	local velocity = Instance.new("VectorForce", hrp); velocity.Attachment0 = hrp:WaitForChild("RootAttachment")
	velocity.ApplyAtCenterOfMass = true 
	local dashAnimation = Instance.new("Animation"); game.Debris:AddItem(dashAnimation, 1)
	if uis:IsKeyDown("W") or not running then
		dashAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..dashAnimations[1]
		velocity.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,-dashVelocity)
	elseif uis:IsKeyDown("S") then
		dashAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..dashAnimations[2]
		velocity.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,dashVelocity)
	elseif uis:IsKeyDown("D") then
		dashAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..dashAnimations[3]
		velocity.Force = Vector3.new(dashVelocity,0,0)
	elseif uis:IsKeyDown("A") then
		dashAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..dashAnimations[4]
		velocity.Force = Vector3.new(-dashVelocity,0,0)
	end
	game.Debris:AddItem(velocity, .3)
	local dashTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(dashAnimation); dashTrack:Play()
	local dashSound1 = Instance.new("Sound", hrp); dashSound1.SoundId = "rbxassetid://6128977275"; dashSound1.Volume = 1.5; game.Debris:AddItem(dashSound1, 3); dashSound1:Play()
	local dashSound2 = Instance.new("Sound", hrp); dashSound2.SoundId = "rbxassetid://3084314259"; dashSound2.Volume = .7; game.Debris:AddItem(dashSound2, 1); dashSound2:Play()
	local trailDecay = .7
	local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment", hrp); a1.Position = Vector3.new(0,.2,0); game.Debris:AddItem(a1, trailDecay)
	local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment", hrp); a2.Position = Vector3.new(0,-.2,0); game.Debris:AddItem(a2, trailDecay)
	local trail = Instance.new("Trail", hrp); trail.Attachment0 = a1; trail.Attachment1 = a2; game.Debris:AddItem(trail, trailDecay); trail.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.new(0.85098, 0.85098, 0.85098)); trail.Lifetime = .2
end)

Just use Apply Impulse method on the character. A dash is a burst of speed basically, this should achieve that.

You could also use some ray casting to check for being in the air and reduce the force or impulse magnitude.

This ended up not working but it doesn’t matter since I figured out a way to do it by just continuously updating the velocity of a BodyVelocity to the front of the HumanoidRootPart and it works flawlessly.
