Bullet Casing ignores physics

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, the bullet casing ignores physics, and stays still in the air despite being unanchored.

I genuinely have no idea why this happens

Here is the casing script

local function ejectBulletCasing()
	print("case thing")
	local casing = bulletCasingTemplate:Clone()
	casing.Transparency = 0
	casing.Anchored = false
	casing.CFrame = ejectPoint.WorldCFrame
	casing.Parent = game.Workspace

	-- Up and right
	local ejectVelocity = Vector3.new(math.random(13, 15), math.random(10, 15), math.random(-1, 1))
	casing.AssemblyLinearVelocity = ejectVelocity

	-- Spinning
	local angularVelocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-5, 5), math.random(-5, 5), math.random(-5, 5))
	casing.AssemblyAngularVelocity = angularVelocity

	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(casing, 2.5)
end

if you know anything about physics and could help, it would be greatly appreciated

#2

I think it would be better to use :ApplyImpulse()

#3

is there a reason for assemblylinearvelocity not working

#4

AssemblyLinearVelocity should work. I dont know though if its depricated or not. Are you sure the bullets are unanchored and not welded to something?

#5

Yeah, they are unanchored. Its not welded to anything to my knowledge, unless studio auto creates welds

#6

look at the server and also try setting the network ownership of the casing to whoever shot it (after seeing if its any different on the server)

#7

The bullet casing’s are created on the client

#8

can you try to walk into one of the casings? i want to see if the bullets are in a sleep-state or not

edit: if they are you can try to force them to wake up with these things

#9

#10


it shows them as awake too

#11

try set Anchored=false on the template casing directly.
and/or add a task.wait() before setting its velocities. see if it is the physics system overrides the velocities when it processes the freshly created instance.

#12

make sure network ownership is set to client so the client can apply velocity

#13

The bullet casing is created on the client

I just found out its probably a new issue entirely, the physics dont even work at all in studio.

Here’s a video of me making a completely new thing, and making an unanchored part then playtesting it


Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this isn’t supposed to happen. Is there a fix?

#15

I fixed this by disabling physics enviormental throttle, i blame roblox for this issue

#16

try running into the part maybe? Try playing a template and see if the physics works like on the car one.
