How do I redirect the player's velocity into another direction?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to redirect the player’s velocity into a certain direction. Basically, I want to launch the player into a certain direction but at the same speed that they were moving at.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I don’t know the calculations for it.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I’ve tried looking for solutions, but all I found was how to launch the player into a certain direction at a specific velocity. I want to launch the player into a certain direction at the SAME velocity, not a different one.

Use ApplyImpule but with the HRP velocity,

local direction = ... --// Unit vector btw

local rootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
local force = 10 * rootPart.AssemblyMass

rootPart:ApplyImpulse(rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity * direction * force)
#3

ok well that wouldn’t work because the mass of the character is not specifically 10

#4

Well, OP could just multiply the force with the AssemblyMass

#5

they said they don’t know the calculations so at least provide them with the correct one

#6

Jeez relax, it was just an oversight

Is there any way to do this with rootpart.Velocity?

It’s deprecated but ye smth like this should work

rootPart.Velocity = rootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity * direction * force

So, I’m trying to make a vault function that holds your speed and moves the player in the LookVector of their rootpart. I tried the code above, but this happens. Any idea how I can fix this? I can send the vault code if you need.

You have StreamingEnabled turned on, just go to workspace properties, scroll down and uncheck the StreamingEnabled box

I figured out how to make the vault work, but thank you for helping!
