local function startSlide()
	if isSliding or not canSlide then return end

	isSliding = true
	canSlide = false

	-- Play sliding animation
	slideAnimation:Play()

	-- Apply velocity for sliding
	local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, 0, math.huge) -- Only allow X and Z movement
	bodyVelocity.Velocity = rootPart.CFrame.LookVector * slideSpeed
	bodyVelocity.Parent = rootPart

	Debris:AddItem(bodyVelocity, slideDuration)

	-- Stop sliding after duration
	wait(slideDuration)
	isSliding = false

	-- Cooldown before allowing sliding again
	wait(slideCooldown)
	canSlide = true
end

-- Detect Shift or Ctrl key press
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
	if isProcessed then return end -- Ignore if input is already processed by other scripts

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
		startSlide()
	end
end)

-- Reset sliding if the character dies or respawns
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(newCharacter)
	character = newCharacter
	humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)

thisis the code i have made through chatgpts help but it does not work, i just want to simply have a smooth slide that slows down and i can cancel whenever i want just like how it works in games like parkour reborn, anyone know why?

Your script attempts to load the animation before the AnimationId is set, causing the script to error. You can fix it by changing this (on line 12):

local slideAnimation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Instance.new("Animation"))
slideAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://119653119436920" -- Replace with your animation ID

to something like this:

local slideAnimationObj = Instance.new("Animation")
slideAnimationObj.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://119653119436920" -- Replace with your animation ID
local slideAnimation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(slideAnimationObj)

This way it does not error when attempting to load the animation because you create an Animation object which has the AnimationId set.

thanks so much it for responding, it has made my script work but it does not slowdown with an ability to stop it at any time if yk what i mean, would you know what i would need to do to make it work?

Did you solve this or is it still an issue

#7

the slide works but the smoothness is a bit off and i still cant slide cancel, would you have any ideas to how to complete it?
