Trouble with making skis

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

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 :slight_smile:

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.
