Fireball shoots backwards

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

hi, im making a fireball and it is almost complete, however, when i activate it to fire, it shoots backwards when i want it to shoot directly infront of the character. everything is on server side btw

local velocityDirection = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - clonedFireball.Sphere.Position).unit

local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Velocity = velocityDirection * 200
BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
BodyVelocity.Parent = clonedFireball.Sphere

I think you must subtract target position from hrp position

1 more thing if possible, the fireball slightly angles upwards at like a 15 degree angle

I have no idea can you send a video of the problem

Thats a big difference are you sure that you are calculating the target pos correctly?

im just doing this as i want it to fire directly out the humanoidrootpart

local velocityDirection = (clonedFireball.Part.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).unit

local Velocity = Vector3.new(velocityDirection.X, 0, velocityDirection.Z)

local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Velocity = Velocity * 200
BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
BodyVelocity.Parent = clonedFireball.Sphere

Maybe this? I set the Y velocity to 0
