i need to make a dash for my game that tps a character a few blocks forward like a flashstep any ideas?
Make it so when you press a button it increases or decreases the position of the object accordingly.
You might have to make a router that makes it add or subtract based off the direction your facing.
It is easier than it seems.
You can do this in a ‘Run and Jump’ bundle, by doing this.
(The 10 is the dash force. The 6 is the normal walk force. )

Looking at that code it looks more like something for hold a button for sprint. The dash I think they’re talking about is the one that boosts you forward and keeps you in the air.

Oh, sorry. I thought he was referencing sprint. You could use a impulse for a dash?
Yes but the Player would still have gravity and wouldn’t stay in the air. I suggest having the Player constantly checking it’s Y position and then have it keep it’s Y pos when the dash is activated.

personally I’d make the player teleport forward slightly with a following trail to make an illusion of dashing, like I did once on my now deleted account.

I did that too before, but then I got too lazy to figure out how to stop the player from dashing through walls.
same, i just put spikes behind the object that you aren’t supposed to dash through, because part of the game was about dashing through walls.
