Body force not moving player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi devs I want to make a script where a player moves in the opposite direction they are facing with a bodyforce there are no errors but I do not move when I activate the code

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local speed = 10
local char = plr.Character
local myHRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Tool = plr.Backpack:WaitForChild("SuperShotgun")
local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		print("running")
		local postpos = myHRP.Position +((myHRP.Position - camera.CFrame.p).unit * speed)
		bodyForce.Parent = myHRP
		bodyForce.Force = bodyForce.Parent.CFrame:vectorToWorldSpace(postpos)--line13
		print(postpos)
		wait(7)
		bodyForce:Destroy()
		bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
	end)
end)

body force dont work in Local Script but it can work if you give them network ownership from the server.
it is explained in the answer of this topic

try this i think

 bodyForce.Force =  myHRP.CFrame:VectorToWorldSpace(postpos)
#7

i looked inside the player and found that there was no bodyforce in the HRP

#8

That mean it didn’t create a body force that’s why the error came up.did you know why did the bodyforce don’t create?

#9

I don’t know if this’ll work, but maybe try creating the body force inside the function?
This may solve the missing body-force issue.

Network ownership has not been depreciated, I don’t know where you are getting that information from, but no it’s not depreciated.

Players already have network ownership over their character so this isn’t relevant. It’s perfectly fine to do what OP is doing in this case.

I ended up messing around with your script a bit and got it working. I will say though that the player has to jump for the force to work well sometimes. I guess the legs/feet have a lot of friction by default?

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local speed = 5000
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local myHRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Tool = script.Parent

local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		print("running")
		local camCFr = camera.CFrame
		bodyForce.Force = camCFr.Position + (camCFr.LookVector * -speed)
		bodyForce.Parent = myHRP
		wait(1)
		bodyForce.Parent = nil
	end)
end)

Note I did change the Tool, speed, char, and the delay for getting rid of the BodyForce. Feel free to make them what you want though.
