Angle to CFrame?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m working on a module script for my super smash bros game that takes any angle and turns it into a CFrame value for my knockback. For example, an uptilt would launch you straight up while just a jab would send you mostly horizontally. How would I implement this? Here is what I have so far:

local CharModule = {
	--First character: Mario
	["Mario"] = {
		--Mario Stats
		["Stats"] = {
			["Weight"] = 100;
			["BaseKnockBack"] = 20;
			["KnockBackGrowth"] = 100
		}
	}
}

function CharModule:Attack(c, Range, Damage, Knockback, Force, Height)
	for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Model") and v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
			if (c.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 5 then
				if ((c.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position)):Dot( c.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector ) < 0 then

					v.Conditions.IsAttacking.Value = true
					local CurrentDamage = v.Conditions.CurrentDamage
					v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
					CurrentDamage.Value += 1
					if v:FindFirstChild("BillboardGui"):FindFirstChild("TextLabel") then
						v.BillboardGui.TextLabel.Text = CurrentDamage.Value .. "%"
					end
					if Knockback == true then
						local Vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
						Vel.Parent = v.HumanoidRootPart
						Vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000, math.floor(math.random(5000)), 0)
						local Weight = CharModule["Mario"]["Stats"]["Weight"]
						local BKB = CharModule["Mario"]["Stats"]["BaseKnockBack"]
						local KBG = CharModule["Mario"]["Stats"]["KnockBackGrowth"]
						Vel.Velocity = c.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector *(Weight/4)+Vector3.new(CurrentDamage.Value*Force/1.25, Height, 0)
						game.Debris:AddItem(Vel, 0.3)
						v.Conditions.IsAttacking.Value = false
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
return CharModule

Please help!

CFrame.new(0,0,0,orientation,orientation,orientation)

that is the layout for a cframe. you can plug in the value you want for the last paramaters.

#3

What I mean is like, lets say I gave an angle of 90 degrees. How would I change that to the Velocity of Vel?

#4

you can take your cframe and do cframeHere.LookVector then multiply that value by a number for how powerful you want your body vel

#5

Take a look at this example:

local r = math.rad

local direction = CFrame.Angles(r(0),r(0),r(0))

local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") -- example

bodyVelocity.Velocity = direction.LookVector * 100 -- speed of the body vel
