You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to knockback the actual players in game.
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

it only works on npc and not on players
3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
Tried making it as serverscript but nothing works.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Down is my whole script but

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remote = script.Parent.Punch
local tool = script.Parent.Parent

local damage = script:GetAttribute("Damage")


remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,target)

	print(target)
	if target:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
		local root = target.HumanoidRootPart
		target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(10)
		local fx = rp.Hit.Damaged:Clone()
		local sfx = script.Parent.Hit:Clone()
		local gfx = rp.Hit.HitEffect:Clone()
		fx.Parent = target
		sfx.Parent = target
		gfx.Parent = root
		gfx.Position = root.Position	
		sfx:Play()
		local minimumForce = root.AssemblyMass * workspace.Gravity
		local mass = root.AssemblyMass
		local forceToApply = mass*70
		local upforce = mass* 40	
		root:ApplyImpulse(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector*forceToApply +Vector3.new(0,upforce,0))
		task.wait(0.25)
		gfx:Destroy()
		fx:Destroy()
		sfx:Destroy()
		
	end
end)

only this part is the ApplyImpulse()

local minimumForce = root.AssemblyMass * workspace.Gravity
		local mass = root.AssemblyMass
		local forceToApply = mass*70
		local upforce = mass* 40	
		root:ApplyImpulse(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector*forceToApply +Vector3.new(0,upforce,0))
