Apply impulse doesnt work for things with rope attachments

So basically I have a part attached to a rope, and i’m trying to put :ApplyImpulse() onto it, but it won’t apply for some reason. Is there any alternatives to ApplyImpulse() that I can use to move it?

(no this is not a network ownership issue)

Could you show the entire error?

#3

You could try different body movers such as LinearVelocity

#4

There is no error. It simply does not work.
here is the piece of code.

dice.Attachment1:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(500,500,-100))
#5

Don’t apply the impulse to the attachment, this doesn’t work.
Apply it to the part instead.

#6

my mistake, I was testing different methods. Neither option works. The part or the attachment.

#7

I don’t see the problem, I’ll test it out myself and see if I can find out why it isn’t working.

#8

It works for me, here’s how I wrote it.

local AnchoredPart = script.Parent
local TargetPart = workspace.TargetPart

while true do
	local v3 = Vector3.new(100,0,0)
	TargetPart:ApplyImpulse(v3)
	wait(1)
end

Make sure to use a vector3 instead of a number, just using 3 numbers won’t work.
Hope this helps.

this did not work. but it let me know what I was doing wrong. I don’t think forces can be applied locally.

Thanks for the help.

Ohhh, you’re using a local script?
It has to be a server sided script in order to work.

i just cloned the part to client, and then it worked.
