I want to make a tackle script so when a player hits another player that player goes to the ground. This is for a football game I have in the works.

I cant find solutions on YouTube or anywhere else including DevForum.

I made a hitbox script so that the player has an invisible box around their character,
when another player touches the box I don’t know how to make the player who got hit fall to the ground.

This is what my tackle script looks like so far, I have to believe that there is some CFrame operation to use to get the character on the ground in which I’m unsure of.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local tackledPlayer = script.Parent.Parent.Name --The hitbox's parent which is a character

script.Parent.hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
		local tacklerPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		
		if tacklerPlayer.Name ~= tackledPlayer.Name then
			
			hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)
		end
	end
end)

Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated, Thank you.

You could set their humanoid.PlatformStand to true so that they are stunned and play some idle animation for being knocked, then make it wait and disable the PlatformStand and the animation.

So basically what you said is to freeze the player in place using PlatformStand and then make an animation for being knocked over?

#4

Yeah, that is exactly what I would recommend for you to do.

So far I’m having difficulty. The platform stand property does actually work well. I am just not a good animator and it doesn’t look good.
