Rotating hoverboard based on incline

[LuaBearyGood]

Hi,

Currently trying to make a overboard system for my upcoming game and I’m having a hard time trying to correct the board’s orientation to that of the incline of the part below it.

Current behaviour:

Desired behaviour:

If someone could send me a function to achieve this that would be great, here is a place demo of my current system and it’s code: (Currently server based for the sake of easy testing with draggers.)

This function should work with another similar hoverboard project post, to orientate the UpVector of the board with the normal of the incline.

How do I make a vector normal translate into a rotation?

One possible solution should be to use EgoMooses advanced CFrame trick to rotate the boards current UpVector or whereever it’s “UpVector” is defined towards the surface normal using this function: local function getRotationBetween(u, v, axis) local dot, uxv = u:Dot(v), u:Cross(v) if (dot < -0.99999) then return CFrame.fromAxisAngle(axis, math.pi) end return CFrame.new(0, 0, 0, uxv.x, uxv.y, uxv.z, 1 + dot) end Then apply this rotation to the current Board’s CFrame or the boards Bod…
