Fling Command Doesn't work?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve made chat commands and I recently added a new command: “J:Fling”. This command is supposed to fling the Target’s HRP using body forces, for a split second or so before destroying the instance, to create the fling affect. However, when I try to implement this, it doesn’t work. Any reason why?

SS Code:

	elseif Command == "J:Fling" then
				print("Flinging...")
				local Target = ArgsTable[2]
				if Target == "all" then
					for indexPlayer, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
						local Character = Player.Character
						if Character then
							local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
							local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
							BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0, 9999999, 0)
							BodyForce.Parent = HRP
							delay(.5, function()
								BodyForce:Destroy()
							end)
						end
					end
				else
					local Found_Player = MainModule.FindClosestMatchString("PlayerSearch", game.Players:GetPlayers(), Target)
					if Found_Player then
						local Character = Found_Player.Character
						if Character then
							local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
							local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
							BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0, 99999, 0)
							BodyForce.Parent = HRP
							delay(.5, function()
								BodyForce:Destroy()
							end)
						end
					end
				end

I know the module functions work, as I use them for other commands, I’d really appreciate an explanation as to why it won’t fling. Thanks!

Do you experience any errors? if so what and which line.

#3

no errors, only the flinging… output from the chatchandler script

#4

Have you tried print debugging? Also, have you considered using DebrisService to remove the BodyForce once the fling is over?

I did try using it, but i was unsuccessful. Let me have another attempt, and I’ll post the code here.

EDIT: Using debris service didn’t fix the problem, but I think its the fact that when I do this:

					local Found_Player = MainModule.FindClosestMatchString("PlayerSearch", game.Players:GetPlayers(), Target)
					if Found_Player then
						local Character = Found_Player.Character
						if Character then
							local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
							local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
							BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0, math.huge, 0) --changed to math.huge
							BodyForce.Parent = HRP
							delay(.5, function()
								BodyForce:Destroy()
							end)

It does fling me, resulting in me dying.
I think, I’d be off using BodyVelocity instead, as the bdoy force applies a constant force, and not a natural fling, which slows down after time
