Problem with momentum system mid air - cant change direction the player is flying into

ive been trying to make a system to make players keep momentum mid air (im making a parkour game inpired by beatrun and mirrors edge), ive pretty much got a good system but i cant change the direction the player flies into, making it extremely unresponsive

heres the script

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Humanoid.FloorMaterial==Enum.Material.Air then
		local y = velocity.Y - 2.5
		velocity = Vector3.new(velocity.X, y, velocity.Z)
		script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = velocity
	end
	velocity = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity
end)

after some testing, i finally figured it out

local velocity = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity
local magnit = velocity.Magnitude
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Humanoid.FloorMaterial==Enum.Material.Air then
		if w==true then
			velocity = Vector3.new(velocity.X, script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y, velocity.Z)
			local direction = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
			local desireddirection = direction / direction.Magnitude
			local speed = velocity.Magnitude
			velocity = desireddirection * magnit
			velocity = Vector3.new(velocity.X, script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y, velocity.Z)
		else
			velocity = Vector3.new(velocity.X, script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y, velocity.Z)
		end
		script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = velocity
	elseif script.Parent.Humanoid.FloorMaterial~=Enum.Material.Air and script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y<5 then
		magnit = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Magnitude
	end
	print(magnit)
	velocity = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity
end)
