Player sliding off anchored blocks

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I was working on a little parkour game, where you can stop time to lock all parts in place. I want able to pick up blocks as tools and use them to maneuver around the map. One thing I want the player to do is to drop a block off a ledge, stop time, jump on the block, which allows them to jump to the goal. The problem is that, when I anchor the part and I jump on it, my character seems to slide off for some reason. Why is this happening?

#2

It could be because of the angle of the parts that were frozen while falling. If you decreased the MaxSlopeAngle inside the Humanoid, and the part is too steep, the character will slide down. You could also try setting the parts’ density to a big number (like 100) if you have CustomPhysicalProperties enabled to stop sliding. If none of these work, please provide a video of a player sliding so I can see better whats happening.

As you can see in the video, my character constantly slides off the anchored block when it’s in the air and time is stopped (the yellow filter means the timestop is activiated).

ignore my avatar lol

This is because anchoring a part does not decrease its velocity therefore it will have a “conveyor” effect.

#5

I tried setting the velocity to 0, after it is anchored, but it didn’t work. What should I do?

#6

did you set the angular velocity to 0 too? (and show me the code)

I did and it works now, thanks. Here’s some of the code in case you still needed to look at it:

timeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character

if debounce == false then
	debounce = true
	tweenIn:Play()
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
			if v.Anchored == false and not v:IsDescendantOf(character) then
				local savedVelocity = Instance.new("Vector3Value")
				savedVelocity.Name = "SavedVelocity"
				savedVelocity.Value = v.Velocity
				savedVelocity.Parent = v
				v.Anchored = true
				v.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				v.AssemblyAngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
			end
		elseif v:IsA("Tool") and v:FindFirstChild("Handle") then
			v.Handle.CanTouch = false
		end
	end
	wait(5)
	tweenOut:Play()
	for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:FindFirstChild("SavedVelocity") then
			if v.Anchored == true then
				v.Anchored = false
				v.Velocity = v.SavedVelocity.Value
				v.SavedVelocity:Destroy()
			end
		elseif v:IsA("Tool") and v:FindFirstChild("Handle") then
			v.Handle.CanTouch = true
		end
	end
end
wait(1)
debounce = false
end)
