Alternatives for body velocity

[LambHubGoBrrrrr]

Hi I recently heard that body velocity is deprecated, what else can I use? I need it for knockback for my combat.

LinearVelocity should be used instead

Could you tell me how to use it? I am not familiar with body velocity nor that. Just an example of maybe a knockback

Everything is on the documentation link I posted in my original reply. If you still don’t understand after reading through it, I’m happy to help! I can’t at the moment because I’m very busy.

The Exact same thing as BodyVelocity

This object maintains all functionality of BodyVelocity, a legacy body mover. To instead apply a constant force, use a VectorForce object instead.

There is a couple of forum post about how to use the BodyMover:

How To Use BodyVelocity?

Hey, just a side note for anyone looking at this I highly recommend to switch on using LinearVelocity as BodyVelocity is now deemed as DEPRECATED, I’ll still keep the old post going though at the bottom of my post You would do the same thing as you would for handling a BodyVelocity, except the only difference is that you’d need to create an Attachment to be able to properly connect the LinearVelocity Instance for the Part local Part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part") local A = Instance.new("Att…

Plus, there are Plenty of ways to Apply Knockback:

• AssemblyLinearVelocity (newer variant of deprecated Velocity that applys implies force)

BasePart.Velocity = Vector3.new(number,number,number) -- deprecated
BasePart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(number,number,number) -- newer varirant

• ApplyImpulse (Applys Force to an Object)

BasePart:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(number,number,number)) -- Applys Force

I can share a small snippet as an example from my code if needed. This is used to fling a player in my game by an admin command. Didn’t have much time to change it around, though:

local ply = findPlayer(plrName) --// Pretend this is your player

if ply then --// Checking if the player exists
	local character = ply.Character --// Getting the character

	if character then --// Checking if the character exists
		local rootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart --// Getting the HumanoidRootPart

		local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment") --// Creating an attachment for the LinearVelocity (THIS IS IMPORTANT!)
		attachment.Name = "VelocityAttachment" --// Naming it
		attachment.Parent = rootPart --// Parenting it

		local velocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity") --// Creating the LinearVelocity
		velocity.Name = "FlingVelocity" --// Naming it
		velocity.MaxForce = 10000 --// Setting the max force (the most amount of force that will move the character)
		velocity.VectorVelocity = Vector3.new(100000, 10000, 100000) --// Setting the vector velocity (the velocity direction it will move in)
		velocity.Enabled = true --// Enabling it (not necessary. It is enabled by default. I always like to make sure lol)
		velocity.Attachment0 = attachment --// Setting the attachment to the one created earlier
		velocity.Parent = rootPart --// Parenting it to the HumanoidRootPart

		debrisService:AddItem(attachment, 0.7) --// Deletes the attachment after 0.7 seconds
		debrisService:AddItem(velocity, 0.7) --// Deletes the velocity after 0.7 seconds
	end
end

Sorry if this still isn’t very helpful. I’m in a rush and have a lot to do. If I’m not your solution, I don’t mind giving it to others! (Not like I did much anyways)
