Ball bugging when different players hit?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

My soccer ball bugs out when the network ownership switches from one player to another, and If you try hitting it sometimes it will completely ghost you or the ball will go in a completely different direction than you were aiming. Here’s my code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ball = script.Parent

local reactDecline = false

local function onTouched(otherPart: BasePart)
	if reactDecline then
		return
	end
	
	local character = otherPart.Parent
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	
	if humanoid then
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		
		ball:SetNetworkOwner(player)
	
		ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new() -- reset the ball's velocity for smoother performance???
		
		local direction = (ball.Position - otherPart.Position).Unit
		
		local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
		bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(direction.X, 0, direction.Z) * 25
		bodyVelocity.Parent = ball
		
		reactDecline = true
		
		task.delay(.3, function()
			bodyVelocity:Destroy()
		end)
		
		task.delay(.3, function()
			reactDecline = false
		end)
	end
end

ball.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
