Hello, i’m tried to create script that disables the bouncing when falling from high distance.
But i’m found bug that i’m can’t fix

local char = script.Parent

local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function removeVelocity(character)

local vectorZero = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

character.PrimaryPart.Velocity = vectorZero

character.PrimaryPart.RotVelocity = vectorZero

end

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)

if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then

removeVelocity()

end

end)

I’m tried to fix it with :FindFirstChild. But this won’t work.

The thing is you are not passing character.

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function removeVelocity(character)
	local vectorZero = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	character.PrimaryPart.Velocity = vectorZero
	character.PrimaryPart.RotVelocity = vectorZero
end

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		removeVelocity(char)
	end
end)

Step 2

Or since you are already storing character, then replace character with char
image

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function removeVelocity()
	local vectorZero = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	char.PrimaryPart.Velocity = vectorZero
	char.PrimaryPart.RotVelocity = vectorZero
end

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		removeVelocity()
	end
end)

You need to pass in char when you’re calling the function removeVelocity

#4 
local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function removeVelocity(character)
   local vectorZero = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
   character.PrimaryPart.Velocity = vectorZero
   character.PrimaryPart.RotVelocity = vectorZero
end

hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
  if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
   removeVelocity(char) --you need to provide the character, since you provided `character` as the pram in your function.
  end
end)

The reason you got that error is because your function doesn’t know what character is. When you provide params into a function, you need to provide matching arguments when calling it.

I’m know that im have char. But i’m I tried to replace it with char. There was the same error.
But i’m can try removeVelocity(char)
