Hello there, So i wanted to make a hoverboard game and my friend gave me a hoverboard script he found online and he added his own small modifications to it, and then i added some more small edits to it like adjusting speed.
But i want its orientation to match with orientation of surface below it so its even more fun to move around with, but i cant figure out how to do it because i am not too good at math related scripting, I’ve tried to look on devforum but when i try to add other people’s script, the movement completely messes up (like Pressing W doesnt reset back orientation so it keeps on pushing me back, etc)
Is there a way to add orientation detection while also keeping the current smooth hoverboard movements?
heres clip of current hoverboard movement:
Picture of what I’ve been trying to achieve:

end
