Hello, I need help with a script that will force the player to move towards the players LookVector constantly. Something like this;


But faster and able move towards the LookVector of the player when the player turns. This is this code for the forced movement I’ve made so far.

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",HumanoidRootPart)
		BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(10000,0,10000)
		BodyVelocity.Velocity = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector*24

Don’t use BodyVelocity, it’s deprecated. Very sad moment.

Also, I recommend using Humanoid:Move(Vector3) as that will cause the Humanoid to walk in the specified direction from the unit vector. You would need to constantly call that function since the player might walk somewhere else.

Where would I locate the Vector3 to, to make the player move in the humanoidRootParts lookvector ?

I would stick to BodyForce, but use a VectorForce instead, it works basically the same as a BodyVelocity. You wouldn’t be able to use the Humanoid:Move() function because that will be overridden by the characters own movement. (Unless you mess with the default character control scripts which can be very complicated)

Switch your code to this:

local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(10000, 0, 10000)
BodyVelocity.Velocity = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 24
BodyVelocity.Parent = HumanoidRootPart

local originalOrientation = HumanoidRootPart.Orientation

local connection = nil
connection = game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
	local newOrientation = HumanoidRootPart.Orientation

	if newOrientation ~= originalOrientation then
		originalOrientation = newOrientation

		BodyVelocity.Velocity = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 24
	end
end)

BodyVelocity.Destroying:Connect(function()
	connection:Disconnect()
end)
