Best way to move the character

Okay, nevermind.
I gave the BodyVelocity a small MaxForce but with a lot of Power

It works pretty nicely.
Thanks!

I know this post is old but I wonder what the maxforce should be to able to move the humanoidrootpart and not make it glitch. I’ve tried different amount of maxforce, some to low that it doesn’t move the char and some to high that make the char glitch, so what is the right maxforce

Depending on how you’re applying the force, you will need to get the mass of the objects in the character. That can be done by doing Part:GetMass() You’ll simply need to do a for loop through all the character’s parts to sum them all up. Then just use that to apply a force depending on the mass.

I think that might be the solution, here’s the code, I might be doing something wrong which is why is probably why is not working for me.
edit:The thing that isn’t working for me is that the player character doesn’t move

local Speed = 200 
local Vector = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector

local Mass = 0

local objects = {}

for i, v in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
      if v:IsA("Part or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
         table.insert(objects,v)
        end

end

for i, v in pairs(objects) do 
      local mass = v:GetMass()
      Mass = Mass + mass
end

local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector * Speed 
BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(Mass,Mass,Mass)
BodyVelocity.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
wait(0.1)
BodyVelocity:Destroy()

There is a mass because I tried printing the mass and it isn’t nil

Multiply the mass by a force constant. Can be anything from 0 - infinity.

So I actually found out that glitching wasn’t from the bodyvelocity but instead it was probably from the animation. Since the animation moves the character forward and when it hit things it glitches, so now I have a total different problem lol.
