**Deprecated:** The SkateboardPlatform object has been deprecated and is no longer supported by Roblox. Developers looking to create skateboards or similar vehicles are advised to program their own systems. Additionally, the [`VehicleSeat`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/VehicleSeat.md) object can be used to quickly create simple vehicles.

A SkateboardPlatform can be used to create a skateboard. When characters get on a skateboard, they are stuck to it until they press the escape key. Until then, the character uses skateboard animations and travels faster than a walking character.

## Properties

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.MoveState: Enum.MoveState = Enum.MoveState.Stopped
```

- Tags: Hidden, Not scriptable, Read capabilities: Basic

### Steer

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.Steer: number = 0
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Basic

The direction of movement, tied to the keys A and D. Must be 1 (right), 0 (straight), or -1 (left). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

### StickyWheels

If true, wheels won't roll without user input.

### Throttle

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.Throttle: number = 0
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Basic

The direction of movement, tied to the keys W and S. Must be an integer 1 (forward), 0 (null), or -1 (reverse). Will refresh back to 0 unless constantly set.

## Methods

### ApplySpecificImpulse

```luau
SkateboardPlatform:ApplySpecificImpulse(impulseWorld: Vector3)
```

- Tags: Capabilities: Basic

Adds ''impulseWorld'' to the SkateboardPlatform's [`BasePart.Velocity`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/BasePart.md).

## Events

### Equipped

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.Equipped: RBXScriptSignal<(humanoid: Instance, skateboardController: Instance)>
```

- Tags: Capabilities: Basic

Fired when the skateboard is equipped.

### MoveStateChanged

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.MoveStateChanged: RBXScriptSignal<(newState: Enum.MoveState, oldState: Enum.MoveState)>
```

- Tags: Capabilities: Basic

Fired when the SkateboardPlatform's [`SkateboardPlatform.ControllingHumanoid`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/SkateboardPlatform.md) changes the force being used on the SkateboardPlatform.

### RemoteCreateMotor6D

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.RemoteCreateMotor6D: RBXScriptSignal<(humanoid: Instance)>
```

- Tags: Hidden, Capabilities: Basic

### RemoteDestroyMotor6D

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.RemoteDestroyMotor6D: RBXScriptSignal<()>
```

- Tags: Hidden, Capabilities: Basic

### Unequipped

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.Unequipped: RBXScriptSignal<(humanoid: Instance)>
```

- Tags: Capabilities: Basic

Fired whenever the skateboard is unequipped.

### equipped

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.equipped: RBXScriptSignal<(humanoid: Instance, skateboardController: Instance)>
```

- Tags: Deprecated, Capabilities: Basic
- Use instead: [`SkateboardPlatform.Equipped`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/SkateboardPlatform.md)

**Deprecated:** This deprecated event is a variant of [`SkateboardPlatform.Equipped`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/SkateboardPlatform.md) which has also been deprecated. Neither event should be used in new work.

### unequipped

```luau
SkateboardPlatform.unequipped: RBXScriptSignal<(humanoid: Instance)>
```

- Tags: Deprecated, Capabilities: Basic
- Use instead: [`SkateboardPlatform.Unequipped`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/SkateboardPlatform.md)

**Deprecated:** This deprecated event is a variant of [`SkateboardPlatform.Unequipped`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/SkateboardPlatform.md) which has also been deprecated. Neither event should be used in new work.
