To explain it better, if you move, the ball or sphere moves and turns with you so you don't fall off.

I get you, so you're running on the ball like in cartoons when they run on barrels. Although, I'm not sure either.

I think he means so that you're 'riding' the ball, like you're running, and it's rolling beneath you like a tredmill.(But it's actually moving places)

Maybe set a bodyforce/bodyposition on the character above the ground (if possible?)
And then Cframe a ball under it?

Eh... I don't understand it properly either but it could be something like the ball moves the same distance in the same axis as the player whenever he moves?

CFrame le ball beneath le character.

Weld le ball to le character.

Unanchor le ball.

Profit from le ball since no one can tell whether or not le ball is "rolling" anyways.

Much love -GO

It's like the Earth. You don't fall off when you are on the bottom of the Earth.

don't over complicate it guys.

make it a SkateboardPlatform but override with an animation of the character running/walking/whatever.

Weld a Sphere to the SkateboardPlatform and then find the vector perpendicular to the characters velocity, and CFrame the sphere rotating along that axis. find how much to rotate it by diving the distance traveled by the circumference of the sphere/timestep.

That's how i did it when i did something similar in an opengl marble racing game I made a long time ago.

So uh. You might not understand but, I want to make it so you always stay in one position while the ball turns while you move.

No. You stay in the same position but the earth turns, so you are not standing on an invisible barricade or anything. The earth is round and you can fall off, it's not flat.

Soo... how about making a second ball over the spinning ball(turn off cancollide) so it only appears as if the player is moving with the ball.Shouldn't really be a problem unless you make code it heavily.
