Flinging a player in a given direction using BodyVelocity

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m a bit confused on the math and I can’t really find something that answers my question specifically, I have a part positioned on the map, and I want the player to get flung in the direction of that part upon touching another part, basically a jump pad.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("BodyVelocity") then 
			return
		end
		local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		bodyVelocity.Parent = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
		local direction = (workspace.DirectionalPart.Position - hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
		bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(50000, 50000, 50000)
		bodyVelocity.Velocity = (hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position + direction) * 20
	end
end)

Solved it, I was just overthinking it, the direction can be applied directly to the Velocity.
