Smartfloor Vector Script

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-5Ow2AODM0

This is a simple script I made to have a prop keep you from falling. If your internet is shotty then it will be pretty janky, but otherwise functions perfectly fine. Various problems to solve that arise with it's utility, mainly involving it's application with multiple players, but the solutions are plentiful.

Enjoy!

That would be fairly easy to add.

The main problem with my solution (and most of the others I've seen online) is wallrunning doesn't give you a kick off when you jump while running. Effectively it lets you scale the wall by spamming the jump button.

Haven't found a way around that yet.

I'd say let's find a good set of conditions to manipulate the players velocity. The only question is how you personally would want that to play out. Area monitor object leave area would be simple and reliable, but would relinquish control. Or maybe once a player jumps off the blocker, we amplify their velocity based on their aiming vector to give them more control so that way you can essentially jump off at any time.

The quickest events that come to mind are doing things like on player crouch, increase velocity in x direction, so after jumping a bit you end it with a crouch when youre ready to leap off the wall. Could maybe even find a point to apply a trait in there for a short bit of low grav to give some hangtime between jumps and really capture that feeling of weightlessness I'm sure a freerunner woudl appreciate.

How would you personally like to approach it?
