Fireball object doesnt follow fireball position

Okay so the velocity does go to where the player is looking however, it still just sits there if it doesnt hit anything

Alright try this, it should theoretically work, I’ve added some prints to see any potential errors we might encounter

LocalScript

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Fireball = player:WaitForChild("Backpack").Fireball
local BallEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireballEvent
local Debounce = false
local Cooldown = 0.5 
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local inputservice = game:GetService("UserInputService")

inputservice.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not gpe then
		if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Fireball") and player.Character.Fireball:IsA("Tool") then

			if Debounce == false then
				print("Firing fireball...")

				Debounce = true
				BallEvent:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p)

				wait(Cooldown)
				Debounce = false
			else
				print("Fireball on cooldown.")
			end

		else
			print("Fireball tool not found.")
		end

	end
end)

script Server

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local FireballEvent = ReplicatedStorage.FireballEvent

local function createFireball(player, targetPosition)
	print("Creating fireball for player:", player.Name)

	local clonedFireball = game.ReplicatedStorage.Fireball:Clone()
	local CF = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0.5, -4)

	clonedFireball.Parent = workspace
	clonedFireball.CFrame = CF

	print("Fireball position set.")

	local velocityDirection = (targetPosition - clonedFireball.Position).unit

	local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	BodyVelocity.Velocity = velocityDirection * 100
	BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	BodyVelocity.Parent = clonedFireball

	print("Fireball velocity set.")

	clonedFireball.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		print("Fireball touched something.")

		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not hit:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(40)
			clonedFireball:Destroy()
		elseif not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
			Explosion.Parent = workspace
			Explosion.ExplosionType = Enum.ExplosionType.NoCraters
			Explosion.BlastRadius = 3
			Explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
			Explosion.Position = clonedFireball.Position
			clonedFireball:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end

FireballEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(createFireball)

Yes, maybe restart your Roblox Studio, the code I’ve fixed indeed works well

perfect! in the script, i added a maximum distance so that the fireball eventually gets destroyed to prevent it from wandering in space forever

thank you for that, it would probably help prevent lag
