Velocity has been depricated, what do i use now?

[taylornoni (Taydev)]

Howdy fellow devs, I’m getting back into coding and it seems velocity has been deprecated, not sure how to make a conveyor at all and since surfaces have been changed I can’t find the front of the part either for Lookvector. Anyways all help would be appreciated.

It’s deprecated but you can still use it in scripts if you’d like.

i know it’s usable but i really am looking for an alternative because it’ll be removed soon for sure

[njesk12]

Ah okay, then you want to use AssemblyLinearVelocity which works the same as velocity used to.

since surfaces have been changed I can’t find the front of the part either for Lookvector.

I actually found a approach to get back the Part’s Surfaces:

• Insert a Part

• Head to the Model category, and click Surface
  

• Select a random surface then click it on the part, you should see the part’s properties get added to that

Also for the conveyor, you could try this:

[Activated!] New Part Physics API

Today we are releasing some new physics properties and functions for BaseParts! They do require some explanation, so read on! Assemblies First, we’ve added five new properties that further introduce a concept that may be new to some of you: the assembly. In Roblox, an assembly is a set of unanchored parts connected by WeldConstraints, Motor6Ds, or other rigid joints. Internally, these parts form a single rigid body with a velocity, position, and mass. Read more about assemblies here! These p…

thank you friend this will go a long way for me!
