Am i calculating all of this incorrectly?

Im working on a pushing script where you can push other players and this is the server script for it,

it pushes the player you interact with (idrk how to explain the rest)

local pushReplicator = game.ReplicatedStorage.PushReplicator

pushReplicator.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, characterBeingPushed)
	local humanoidRootPart: BasePart = characterBeingPushed:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	if humanoidRootPart then
		local forwardDirection = (humanoidRootPart.Position - player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position).Unit
		local upwardDirection = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
		
		local forwardStrength = 825 / 1.5
		local upwardStrength = 450 / 1.5

		local impulse = (forwardDirection * forwardStrength) + (upwardDirection * upwardStrength)
		humanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(impulse)
		print("Hello!")
	end
end)

sorry if my post is very vague

The impulse variable is supposed to be a vector 3, not a number. Smth like this

local impulse = Vector3.new((forwardDirection * forwardStrength),(upwardDirection * upwardStrength),0) — forwarddirection could be either X or Z axis, idk
HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(impulse)

This is a vector3, what do you mean?

I’m pretty sure you have to create a new vector3 with the previous ones

That wasnt the issue, it was network ownership issues, and you do not have a manually set the vector3 each time you do a math operation to it
