The starter dash

Warning

Sword Masters was abandoned in October 2024, and many of its assets belong to the group that owned it, so this system can’t be shown running.

Dash is the first ability you get in Sword Masters. You press E and the character shoots forward in the direction it’s facing.

How it works

• It goes up to 50 studs forward and lasts less than half a second.
• It goes where you were looking when you pressed. Turning the camera mid-dash doesn’t change the direction.
• It stops on its own when you reach the destination or after 0.4 seconds, whichever comes first.
• It alternates between two animations, so two dashes in a row don’t look the same.
• It has a 5-second cooldown.
• God’s Dash, the admin version, goes 65 studs, heals a bit and has no cooldown.

Under the hood

Instead of moving the character by hand, Dash uses two Roblox physics constraints: one pulls you towards the destination and the other keeps you from turning. That keeps the movement smooth for the person dashing. The details, including an Euler angle quirk, are in the portfolio version.
