What body mover should be used to force the player to "run"?

Help and Feedback Game Design Support

I am trying to replicate something to similar to what is shown within these videos

The abilities shown have the player running in the direction that the character is facing and I am trying to avoid using BodyVelocity as it is deprecated. I have attempted to use linear velocity and vector force but had found that adding linear velocity to the humanoid root part does not respect gravity and that vector force is inconsistent such as accelerating very slowly or quickly despite using the same force.

I ask for any help in using these constraints or to be pointed toward a better body mover to use in order to achieve similar results as shown in the videos.

You could just increase the Humanoid.WalkSpeed value to make the player run faster when they hold the Shift key or something and then apply a decent sprinting animation.

I suppose force? Or align position. Force would be better but as I haven’t made a custom movement system… yet… I don’t know a lot but pretty sure everyone uses force.

In LinearVelocity can you change the strength per axis? There should be a strength changer, change it to something like 10000, 0, 1000

It shouldn’t be based on walkspeed because the point is that the character begins to dash in a direction based on the camera for a time without any movement inputs from WASD.

Adding velocity in Y direction just pushes the player into the ground instead of behaving like normal gravity.

Found out that using linearvelocity with plane forces can allow the player to maintain a velocity while being affected by gravity
