Hi! i have recently been working on a new project for making skis in roblox. But i have had alot of trouble with this. idk how to approach this or what methods to use. i have tried different methods like an invinsible ball and more. But the problem seems to be that its all very buggy. I would greatly appreciate any ideas

Can you provide any videos or picture and maybe a script if you have any?
This is an older version btw
i have 2 issues first of all the walk animation is running and idk how to disable it
secodn fo all the player slowly start turning to the side for no good reason
local character = script.Parent
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local SKI_SPEED = 40
local RAY_DISTANCE = 5
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if not character or not rootPart then return end
local rayOrigin = rootPart.Position
local rayDirection = Vector3.new(0, -RAY_DISTANCE, 0)
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)
if rayResult then
local groundNormal = rayResult.Normal
local forwardDirection = rootPart.CFrame.LookVector
local rightVector = forwardDirection:Cross(groundNormal).Unit
local correctedForward = groundNormal:Cross(rightVector).Unit
local newCFrame = CFrame.fromMatrix(rootPart.Position, rightVector, groundNormal, -correctedForward)
rootPart.CFrame = newCFrame
local slopeAngle = math.deg(math.acos(groundNormal.Y))
if slopeAngle > 5 then
rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = correctedForward * SKI_SPEED
else
rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
end
end
end)
I can’t really help with the raycast stuff since im still not into that stuff but about that
animation i can help:
First we need to set the animationId to rbxassetId//:0 meaning no animation should play
We can achieve this by copying and pasting the Animation Handler
Here is a small video on how to do that:

How about overriding the default movement with ContextActionService:BindAction and adding a forwards force on the player?
Don’t have the time to write an in-detail explanation(I’m on mobile), but this should get you started for now:
game.ContextActionService:BindAction("Forward", function(_, inputState, _)
if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
--increase players forward velocity
else
-- set players velocity to 0
end
return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
end, false, Enum.Keycode.W)
I might return to this tomorrow to help some more, however this should get you started for now.

i figured it out by testing old methods out again. and i setteled on the bal method with a hingeconstraint to the rootpart. and then alot of physics constraints
local character = script.Parent
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local SKI_SPEED = 40
local RAY_DISTANCE = 5
character.Animate:Destroy()
humanoid.PlatformStand = false
local Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment", rootPart)
local AlignOrientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", rootPart)
AlignOrientation.Mode = Enum.OrientationAlignmentMode.OneAttachment
AlignOrientation.Attachment0 = Attachment
AlignOrientation.Responsiveness = 200 -- How fast it reacts (higher = more instant)
AlignOrientation.MaxTorque = math.huge -- Infinite torque for strong rotation
local TurnSpeed = 1
local TurnDirection = 0
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
print(input.KeyCode)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
TurnDirection = 1
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
TurnDirection = -1
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
print(input.KeyCode)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
TurnDirection = 0
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
TurnDirection = 0
end
end)
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if not character or not rootPart then return end
if (character:WaitForChild("SkiModel").playerBall.Position - rootPart.Position).Magnitude > 2 then
character.SkiModel.playerBall.CFrame = rootPart.CFrame * rootPart.Attachment0.CFrame
end
local rayOrigin = rootPart.Position
local rayDirection = Vector3.new(0, -RAY_DISTANCE, 0)
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection, raycastParams)
if rayResult then
local groundNormal = rayResult.Normal
local RightVector = rootPart.CFrame.RightVector
local correctedForward = groundNormal:Cross(RightVector).Unit
local yawRotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(TurnDirection * TurnSpeed), 0)
local newCFrame = CFrame.fromMatrix(rootPart.Position, RightVector, groundNormal, -correctedForward)
AlignOrientation.CFrame = newCFrame * yawRotation
local slopeAngle = math.deg(math.acos(groundNormal.Y))
if slopeAngle > 5 then
rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = correctedForward * SKI_SPEED
else
rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
end
end
