What constraint should I use to make a part float?

#1

So since the bodymovers have been depricated now, I want to use constaints to completely shut off the phisics for the Y axis, but if I use align position the X and Z axis get’s aligined as well, and that’s not what I want.

I DO NOT WANT TO USE BODY MOVERS AND I DON’T WANT TO ANCHOR THE PART

I hope that is clear.
If you know what to do, please let me know thank you!

If, by bodymovers you mean bodyforce, bodyvelocity, bodygyro, etc, then you should use VectorForce. Its basically a replacement for the now-depreciated bodyforce. Just set the force to be workspace gravity * part mass and set the apply at center of mass to true.

so there’s no replacment for body velocity?

Not that I know of but i could be wrong.

Also scrap the vectorforce use AlignPosition. Its much easier and basically tries to apply a force to put the part at the position. AlignPosition

#5

did you read my post? I can’t use align position

#6

So your trying to align Y position right, set the goal position to a position with the correct Y position, and don’t care about X and Z. Then, set MaxForce of X and Z to 0, which will make the game unable to apply force on X and Z

#7

but there is no axis to MaxForce? MaxForce is not vector3 it a number

#8

oh shoot they changed it? In my memory it was Vector3. Lemme look at other options

I cant find any constraints that do the job. So either vector force would have to do, or you can have a script to manually set the position every frame:

local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local Part = script.Parent
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	Part.Position = Vector3.new(Part.Position.X,10,Part.Position.Z)
end)
