Converting JumpHeight to JumpPower

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
,
#1

I’m working on bounce pads for my platformer, and my idea is to have their bounce height be controllable by setting how many studs it should bounce upward; problem is i don’t know how much force should be applied for a specific bounce height and workspace gravity.

So far, i have found nothing on the DevForum.

this is an example of a script that launches you exactly 100 studs up when you press Q
(local script in StarterCharacterScripts)

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local height = 100 --> studs

local character = script.Parent
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local mass = humanoidRootPart.AssemblyMass
local gravity = workspace.Gravity

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
	
	if processed then
		return
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode ~= Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		return
	end
	
	local velocity = math.sqrt(2 * gravity * height) * mass
	humanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.yAxis * velocity)

end)
