How to Convert an Angle into `Vector.new()`?

[llheavenlI (Ayaka)]

I’m coding a sliding mechanic that maintains velocity when you slide on a wedge. I’ve used Raycasting and mathematical formulas to obtain the angle I needed, but I can’t seem to make the linear velocity parallel to the slope [see screenshot for a better explanation].

If anyone knows how I could do this, I’m all ears because my last line of script doesn’t take the real angle into account.

local function Slide() print("Slide") local PartSize = SlideDownRaycastResult.Instance.Size local X = PartSize.Z^2 + PartSize.Y^2 local Angle = math.deg(SlideDownRaycastResult.Instance.Size.Y/math.sqrt(X)) LinearVelocity.MaxForce = 40000 local Force = 5 LinearVelocity.VectorVelocity = SlideDownRaycastResult.Instance.CFrame.UpVector * -1 * Force + Vector3.new(0,-Angle,-Angle) end

You could try using Vector3:Cross() to obtain the vector.

local direction = -humanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector:Cross(SlideDownRaycastResult.Normal) LinearVelocity.VectorVelocity = direction * Force

The Ultimate Guide to Vector3:Cross() and Vector3:Dot()

Hey there After a lot more inquisition about these topics, I have decided to make another tutorial! This is going to be the simplest explanation ever made of Cross and Dot, so make sure you follow to the end By far, two of the most puzzling topics in scripting are Vector3:Cross() and Vector3:Dot(). However, after learning what they do, you will realize that they are actually 100x easier than using CFrames even! You will also want to use them in your code when you rea…
