When flying Straight up Plane Freaks Out

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok so whenever I fly straight up this happens


I am using an Align Orientation and it is following the players mouse if anyone has any idea why this is happening help would be greatly appreciated

“Following players mouse” doesn’t mean much. Please post your code so we can see what it’s actually doing :slight_smile:

Mouse.Hit will never have an UpVector that has a negative Y component, so there’s no way your current solution can allow players to fly upside down. Is that what you’re trying to do?

Yea I guess that might be the reason its freaking out when I fly straight up

So is there anyway I can make it so you can fly up around in a loop?

#6

You have any ideas on what I could do to fix this

#7

Sending another message too renew this post cause I am still having this issue

#8

You could get the unit vector between the Hit and the player, and possibly do something with that.

#9

I don’t understand what you are suggesting I do I need a CFrame to align it properly

#10

Refreshing this issue again the issue appears to be that Mouse.Hit cannot have a UpVector that has a negative Y so if anyone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated

#11

Right now your approach depends on that quality of mouse.Hit to keep the plane upright. So if you want an approach that doesn’t depend on that because you want to allow the player to fly upside down, you’ll have to decide how you want to handle which way the UpVector of the plane is pointing. There’s lots of ways that could be done, so it’s easier to help if you can give a description or example of how you actually want the plane to control.

#12

Sorry for late response but I just want it to be Mouse Movement so any way that I can get the mouse to control the plane and if that’s not descriptive enough for you could you list a few ways so I can go and test them myself to see if they work
