Hey everybody!
How would i go about making a fall damage based on velocity

I know how to use Velocity.Y or Velocity.Magnitude but not in Fall damage Context How would i do this?

Could you possibly make a variable for the damage that is = to the players y velocity?

Yes but im not sure how to really make a fall damage

fallTime = 0
while true do
x = wait()
if script.Parent.Torso.Velocity.Y <= -10 then --Finds whether or not the player has begun falling and starts a timer
fallTime = fallTime + x
end
if script.Parent.Torso.Velocity.Y > -10 then --Finds when the player has stopped falling
if fallTime >= 0.4 then --Finds whether or not the player has been falling long enough to take damage
script.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(fallTime * 50) --Deals damage directly proportional to falling time; can simply change the 50 to another factor balance it differently
end
fallTime = 0
end
end

This is an example code that uses the players velocity.

Hi! Just wondering if you could clarify on what you mean by “fall damage based on velocity”!

Do you mean that if I fall and hit the ground at a certain velocity, I will take a certain amount of damage independent of the velocity?

Or that if I fall and hit the ground based on certain factors (air time for instance), I will take a certain amount of damage that is calculated based on the velocity just before I hit the ground?

Either way, I would refer you to this lovely article that might have information on this topic: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/best-way-to-make-fall-damage/507182
