The picture pretty much explains it all. I have a conveyor at an angle and I’m trying to send a part up it.

Here is my code:

while true do
    script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.lookVector * -10
    wait(0.2)
end

I tried increasing the speed to about 25 but still no result, I don’t want to make the speed to high or it would get out of control and unrealistic.

Is it a union or an angled part? Please show a selection box, and also, please a screenshot while selecting the FrontSurface on the conveyor part. (The yellow outline should be on the surface that is facing the direction you want the part to go)

#3

Updated the post with the selection box, it is a union of 3 parts (3 angled diamond plates). Also the conveyor is going in the correct direction because when the player stands on it goes up the conveyor.

#4

That’s a really steep angle for a conveyor. The best solution would be to add more, shallow-angled belt segments if you can afford the space.

#5

I would try making the parts lighter, light enough to still be influenced by gravity but not heavy enough to resist the conveyor maybe.

#6

Great work on those UI icons, they look amazing!

  1. increase Friction of the box and/or conveyor
  2. decrease Density of the box as sushi suggested
  3. replace with 3 parts and apply velocity each in the direction they’re facing (you can see the selectionbox of the union is aligned with the middle part, making the lower section not aligned with the lookvector velocity)

optional, check decomposition geometry of the union to see if something went wonky https://www.roblox.com/library/414923656/Show-Decomposition-Geometry
