AssemblyLinearVelocity not working

[bleintant]

Trying to use projectile physics to apply a force to a ball for a soccer game. Following a yt tutorial where the code works flawlessly, but mine doesn’t. For some reason, when I create a part and apply the force to the part, it moves, but the ball doesn’t. Here’s my code:

Remotes.ShootBall.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, force: Vector3)
	local ball: Part = GameValues.Objects.Ball.Value
	
	Events.LosePossession:Fire(player)
	Events.UnfreezePlayer:Fire(player)
	
	ball:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity = force
	

    --The code below works for some reason??--

	--[[local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.Shape = "Ball"
	part.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2)
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.Position = ball.Position
	part.Parent = workspace
	part.AssemblyLinearVelocity = force--]]

end)

The force calculation:

	local direction = (shotAim.Position - ballPosition.Position)
	local duration = 1
	local force = direction/duration + Vector3.new(0, workspace.Gravity * duration * 0.5, 0)

make your ball is not anchored

:SetNetworkOnwer(nil) may be doing funky stuff
try removing it and see if it works

My ball is anchored --min chars

Tried removing it, the outcome is still the same

My solution: For some reason if I set the ball’s assemblylinearvelocity to the force, and make a dummy part that has the exact same position as the ball and the same assemblylinearvelocity, the ball will move. Not the most ideal, but it works.
