I'm wondering how to make a platform that flies straight upward and doesn't slow down by the weight. I would like it too be not anchored though.

Put a BodyVelocity inside the platform and experiment with it

Simple. Don't anchor it. Put a script inside the part. Here's the script:

part = script.Parent
while true do
wait(0.1)
part.Position = part.Position + Vector3.new(0,1,0)
end

My problem with that is the body position is effected by weight and it can be tossed around on the X axis and Z, but it only needs to move on the Y

It would still fall, and I don't want to use positions because it clips through stuff.

Well if you want it to be unanchored then put a BodyPosition in it to and put force on the X and Z axis

You need to learn how to properly code.
It doesn't clip through stuff if you use raycasting to detect if it touches things.

Ok, what I mean is, I'm trying to make a platform to hold some objects. These are really heavy so if I use body position the platform sinks and I will tip.

You're not using enough force

I know how to code, I'm just having trouble with the situation. If I use raycasting to stop it when it hits an object, then it can't lift anything.

@Vert

Yes it can.
You obviously know little to nothing about coding.

My advice? TAKE SOME TIME, LEARN TO CODE, THEN MAKE A GAME!

Oh, and if you refuse to properly CFrame, imbecile, then look up the GetMass method.

I don't do you Cframe because changing a part's position to clip inside another part's position will automatically force the moving part to move ABOVE the other one. So that means if I put an not anchored part on top of it, it will just drop it. So please try do read.

And really, all get mass does is get the mass of the part. Moving the position of a part won't be effected with get mass using your way.

And OP, do you really not understand english? I was saying that if you really want to use BodyObjects, GetMass will be helpful.

^^ Jeez dude, you're being saltier than the ocean right now

You can use raycasting, you're right, but BodyVelocity or other body forces is just a lot easier.

And you know, I tried to use positions before, and that's why I stopped using it. IT WILL
clip through and what should I do with raycasting if you like it so much. I bet you never even tried what you said.

He doesn't want it to slow down, doesn't want to use GetMass, wont anchor it, and won't CFrame.
What else does he want? Does he want me to wipe his but with a golden kleenex too?

OP, you're like 10.
It clipped through BECAUSE you didn't raycast.
Learn to script, check the Wiki for raycasting API, learn to CFrame, then come talk to me.

Yeah, I think I'll give up on the forums. No one can just give a straight answer and everyone just goes into fights. I'll just use the wiki because it seems to help more than the forums.
