Apply forces to the humanoidRootPart

[alixcoh_PM]

Hello! I’m trying to apply a force to the player but i see no difference, the main part is that i have a ball attached to the player and I want to apply a force to create a drift, so if the player input A or D the force will apply in the opposite direction to make a drift movement, but i dont know if im doing good or not.
Here my code:

local function ApplyDriftForce(direction)
	local forceMagnitude = 1000 -- Ajusta la magnitud de la fuerza según sea necesario para el efecto de derrape
	local oppositeForce = Instance.new("VectorForce")
	oppositeForce.Force = direction * forceMagnitude
	oppositeForce.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	wait(1) -- Puedes ajustar la duración de la fuerza para el derrape aquí
	oppositeForce:Destroy() -- Eliminar la fuerza después de cierto tiempo
end

ApplyDriftForce(Vector3.new(-Xdirection, 0, -Zdirection)) --Depending on direction

I anyone can help me or provide example ill appreciate! Thanks!

You have to apply the VectorForce to an Attachment. Make an attachment and parent it to the HRP of the Character and then do oppositeForce.Attachment0 = AttachmentInsideHRP. That should do it

Also since your dealing with physics you need to set the NetworkOwnership.

I did this but still don’t notice the force applied

local function ApplyDriftForce(direction)
	local forceMagnitude = 1000 -- Ajusta la magnitud de la fuerza según sea necesario para el efecto de derrape
	local oppositeForce = Instance.new("VectorForce")
	local attachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
	attachment.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	oppositeForce.Force = direction * forceMagnitude
	oppositeForce.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
	oppositeForce.Attachment0 = attachment
	wait(1) -- Puedes ajustar la duración de la fuerza para el derrape aquí
	oppositeForce:Destroy() -- Eliminar la fuerza después de cierto tiempo
end

This worked (modify it as per needs)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local function ApplyDriftForce(direction)
	local forceMagnitude = 1000 -- Ajusta la magnitud de la fuerza según sea necesario para el efecto de derrape
	local oppositeForce = Instance.new("VectorForce")
	oppositeForce.Force = direction * forceMagnitude
	
	--> Attachment
	local Attach = Instance.new("Attachment")
	Attach.Name = "ForceAttachment"
	Attach.Parent = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	oppositeForce.Parent = Attach
	oppositeForce.Attachment0 = Attach
	wait(1) -- Puedes ajustar la duración de la fuerza para el derrape aquí
	oppositeForce:Destroy() -- Eliminar la fuerza después de cierto tiempo
end

ApplyDriftForce(Vector3.new(-500, 0, 0)) --Depending on direction

I think im getting it, Im gonna try to modify some values and see how it looks like

made a parabola and now kinda works better with the movement, thanks! here the code:

local function ApplyDriftForce(direction, key)
	local oppositeForce = Instance.new("VectorForce")
	local forceMagnitude = 30000 
	oppositeForce.Force = direction * forceMagnitude *4
	--> Attachment
	local Attach = Instance.new("Attachment")
	Attach.Name = "ForceAttachment"
	Attach.Parent = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	oppositeForce.Parent = Attach
	oppositeForce.Attachment0 = Attach
	
	rotation = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation.Y
	Xdirection = -math.sin(math.rad(rotation))
	Zdirection = -math.cos(math.rad(rotation)) 

	wait(.1)
	oppositeForce:Destroy()
end
