This is unnecesary as you aren’t using it anymore

> [@WaWa\_Yang](#):
>
> `.normalize()`

No need to normalize it

> [@WaWa\_Yang](#):

> `0.3`

the z shouldn’t be 0.3, try numbers between 1.5 and 2, that should work

Thank you @Aya i removed the normalize and it worked! But i realized something. It only works when we hit nalfar’s feet…
