ApplyImpulse doesn't work

Fixed it but now the script doesnt work and theres no error

#8

You can’t :ApplyImpulse a part owned by a player (The character in this case,) from the server. I’ve tried it before.

What you can do is

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.OnApplyImpulse:FireClient(player, part, impulseVector)

Plus you need to set the humanoid state to Freefall before :ApplyImpulse() bcs humanoid behavior is wierd

:ApplyImpulse doesn't work on the server (for player characters)?

So I have to use a localscript?

#10

Yes, use local script to apply impulse parts owned by a client from server

#11

i cahgned the script to a localscript and it still didnt work

#12

Show me your code, let me test

V ah yes reply below

Make sure your local script is inside a player’s character
Or
Inside StarterPlayerScripts
Or
Inside ScreenGui

ApplyImpulse() Not always working?
#13

Local scripts must be inside a local being. Try placing it inside of StarterCharacterScripts and making it detect when the humanoid touches the part.

#14 

local AdditionalForce = 2500

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and db == false then
		
		db = true
		
		hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"):ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0, hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").AssemblyMass * AdditionalForce, 0))
		
		wait(0.5)
		
		db = false
		
	end
	
end)
#15

it works! but the question is, is it only for client side since its a localscript

#16

Okay. Ive said this before, local scripts must be inside a LOCAL BEING. Try placing it in StarterCharacterScripts and use humanoid to detect when you touch the bounce part.

#17

Use remote events if you wish to make it server sidded. Just run a remote when they touch it.

#18

Yes, it will still replicate to server because the part’s physics is controlled by the client

That’s how roblox’s physics work;
any part controlled by the client will be replicated to server (this is to reduce server load calculating physics)

:ApplyImpulse() from client, replicated to server automatically

so i have to use FireServer() in a localscript and put the ApplyImpulse in the server script?

#21

Um, no

look at the previous reply

There’s an anti-fall bounce pad below in the image but it’s out of the picture

I used :FireClient() and let the character :ApplyImpulse() to itself from the client

also didn’t you already got it working? .-.

#22

yes it works but i was wondering how to use it in a server script and if it even would work serversided in a localscript

#23

part:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
part:ApplyImpulse(vector3.new(0, 1000, 0))

But you wouldn’t want to set network owner of your character to nil, (idk what will happen but most likely your character controls being unresponsive)

Yes, it will because a character part’s network ownership belongs to the client

therefore any physics calculation is handled by the client, and replicated to other clients internally through the physics engine

#24

if i do SetNetworkOwner for a control player script would i be able to control the player

#25

um no, why do you ask

:SetNetworkOwner(player or nil) only can be used on server (iirc)

:SetNetworkOwner() is a method of BasePart therefore will not work on objects of other classes, (script, for example)

it’s a method for deciding who to calculate the physics of said BasePart
set it to nil, the server calculates
set it to a player, the player calculates and send to server to replicate (internally)

#26

please link me a guide of setnetworkowner

#27

BasePart:SetNetworkOwner()

An article explaining network ownership
