What is the name/model/script of the block from obby?

I often encounter a block that, when touched, makes the player lose gravity and float smoothly upwards, but remains confined within the block’s area. I’ve searched the Toolbox but couldn’t find such a block—probably because I used the wrong keywords.

Does anyone know what this block is called? Is there a ready-made model or a script available to recreate this effect?

I’ve attached a video showing how the block works.

Hello, if I understood you right, you would want basically this script here:

local touchingPlayers = {}
local block = script.Parent

block.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		touchingPlayers[player] = true
	end
end)

block.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		touchingPlayers[player] = false
	end
end)

while true do
	for player, isTouching in pairs(touchingPlayers) do
		if isTouching then
			local character = player.Character
			if character then
				local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
				if humanoidRootPart then
					humanoidRootPart.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	task.wait()
end

As I currently don’t have access to Roblox Studio, I’m unable to help you further currently if you have any problems.

After doing some searching (Specifically for the ETOH Tower Creation Kit), I found something that seemed to just be an expansion of said kit.

return function()
	script.Parent.TopSurface = 'Studs'
	if script.Parent.Name == "ButtonActivatedPlatform" or script.Parent:FindFirstChild("ButtonActivated") then
		local a = Instance.new("BoolValue",script.Parent)
		a.Name = "Activated"
		if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Invert") then
			a.Value = true
		end
	end
	local players = not script.Parent:FindFirstChild("IgnorePlayers")
	local boxes = not script.Parent:FindFirstChild("IgnoreBoxes")
	local speed = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Speed") and script.Parent.Speed.Value or 40
	local maxForce = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("MaxForce") and script.Parent.MaxForce.Value or math.huge
	script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
		if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Activated") and not script.Parent.Activated.Value then return end
		
		local torso = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso") or part
		if (not torso:FindFirstChild("ElevatorVelocity") and (part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and players) or ((part.Name == "Pushbox" or part:FindFirstChild("IsBox") ~= nil) and boxes)) then
			local velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", torso)
			velocity.Name = "ElevatorVelocity"
			local uv=script.Parent.CFrame.UpVector
			local maxf=Vector3.new(0,maxForce,0)
			if uv.X ~= 0 then maxf = Vector3.new(maxForce, maxf.Y, maxf.Z) end
			if uv.Z ~= 0 then maxf = Vector3.new(maxf.X, maxf.Y, maxForce) end
			
			velocity.MaxForce = maxf
			velocity.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.UpVector*speed
		end
	end)
	script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(part)
		local torso = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso") or part
		if torso:FindFirstChild("ElevatorVelocity") and (part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and players) or ((part.Name == "Pushbox" or part:FindFirstChild("IsBox") ~= nil) and boxes) then torso.ElevatorVelocity:Destroy() end
	end)
end

All these tower games are built off what ETOH (Eternal Towers of Hell) is. If you’re looking for something from them, you’re looking for what the ETOH kit has.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your script! Sorry for the possibly late reply, but I checked your script. There were some issues - the player was launched into space instead of being contained within the block. But I fixed this error myself, so I’ll mark your response as the solution!

Thank you very much again, you helped me a lot!)
