I fixed a few problems in my old project. This time the character works really stable.
Old Project: Orb Character (Outdated)

New features:
-Better jump velocity
-Fixed high frame-rate issues (Thanks to Agent_Invalid)

Game Link: Orb Version 2 [Open Source] - Roblox
Example Video: (Outdated use game link instead)

Source Code:

local human = script.Parent.Humanoid
local ball = script.Parent.Ball

local debounce = true
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local jumppower = "60"

function move(dt)

	if human.FloorMaterial ~= Enum.Material.Air then
		ball.Velocity = ball.Velocity + (human.MoveDirection * human.WalkSpeed) * dt 
		
	end
	
	if human.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then
		ball.Velocity = ball.Velocity + (human.MoveDirection * human.WalkSpeed) * dt 
	end
end

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(i)
	if i.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space and debounce == true then
		debounce = false
		ball.Velocity = ball.Velocity + Vector3.new(0,jumppower,0) 
		wait(0.6)
		--Vector3.new(0,jumppower,0)
		debounce = true
	end
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(move)

Please use local function and task.wait, since they generally make better performance.

and velocity is decrepated and shouldn’t be used anymore, instead use assembly linear velocity.

Why are you connecting this function to InputBegan every frame? Same with the InputEnded

Wait a minute, that would be HIGHLY inefficent and would create mass lag if you play for an extended amount of time, since it’s going to be checking for input MANY times.

Thanks for your reply, what should I use instead?

#6

Connect to InputBegan and InputEnded only ONCE, not every frame.

Are you able to make it so that if the player dies they can respawn?
