I need to make it so that a snake can pull itself. However, the head moves and pulls the body, but not forwards. It just looks around

Any idea how I could make it easier for the snake to drag itself

you can't manipulate gravity or weight

however you can apply an upwards bodyforce according to the specific mass of an object to simulate less gravity

BodyForce in part

BodyForce.force = Vector3.new(0,190.2*part:GetMass(),0)


I script -~ chimmihc

however

in my personal experience

this is not a viable way of making things easier to move

it could be in your situation

but any time i've tried decreasing the gravity or making no gravity for parts, it didn't help because they still needed a certain amount of force to move them

so instead of giving the parts less gravity, i would suggest giving the head more force to pull it

Thanks Chim!

The snake bumps around a lot and whenever it gets in an awkward spot it'll get bumped high up and then slowly come back down, but, it's barely stunts the function, and actually got the thing to start slithering around to begin with.

Thanks again, man
