I want to prevent flinging in a combat system no idea how. I dont know what approach to take to solve this issue…

External Media

Any tips on what i can do ? The combat system it self is well over 500 lines so this is a part I think would cause the issue ```lua

function HitHandler.CreateHitbox(player, attackType, lookVector)
if not player or not player:IsA(“Player”) or not attackDamages[attackType] then
return
end

local userId = player.UserId
playerHitboxes[userId] = playerHitboxes[userId] or {}
local playerData = playerHitboxes[userId]
local currentTime = tick()
local lastHitboxTime = playerData[attackType] or 0
local cooldown = HitHandler.GetCooldown(attackType) or 0
if currentTime - lastHitboxTime < cooldown then
	return
end
playerData[attackType] = currentTime + cooldown

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
SpeedManager:applySlow(character, 0.2, 0.5)
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local hitbox = Instance.new("Part", character)
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.Transparency = 0.8
hitbox.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
hitbox.Massless = true
hitbox.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
hitbox.Position = humanoidRootPart.Position + (humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 2)

local hasHit = false

hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hasHit then return end

	local hitCharacter = hit.Parent
	local hitHumanoid = hitCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if hitHumanoid and hitCharacter ~= character then
		hasHit = true

		local forceMagnitude = 5
		local forceMagnitudeEnemy = 5

		local function isAttackFromFront(character, attackerPosition)
			local characterFacingDirection = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
			local attackDirection = (attackerPosition - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).unit
			local dotProduct = characterFacingDirection:Dot(attackDirection)

			return dotProduct > 0
		end

		local processedCharacters = {}
		if hitHumanoid.Parent:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == true and isAttackFromFront(hitHumanoid.Parent, player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) then
			local characterId = hitHumanoid.Parent:GetAttribute("UserId") or hitHumanoid.Parent.Name

			if not processedCharacters[characterId] then
				processedCharacters[characterId] = true

				if hitHumanoid.Parent:GetAttribute("PerfectBlock") == true then
					task.wait()
					PerfectBlockParticles(hitHumanoid)

			end
