#1

hello, i dont quite understand how bodypositions work.

can anybody explain why this isnt working?

wait(2)
for i, v in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	local HumanoidRootPart = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition",v)
	BP.MaxForce = Vector3.new(25000,25000,25000)
	BP.P = 100
	BP.D = 100
	BP.Position = Vector3.new(10,0,0)
end

You’re parenting the body position to the player instead of the HumanoidRootPart.

local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition",v)

Should be

local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition",HumanoidRootPart)

You may need to up the P value. Also I don’t recommend using the second argument in Instance.new(), instead parent the BodyPosition like this:

BodyPos.Parent = v.PrimaryPart

this still doesnt work unfortunately, my character just stands there

#5 
wait(5)
print("exectued")
for i, v in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	local HumanoidRootPart = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
	BP.Parent = HumanoidRootPart
	BP.MaxForce = Vector3.new(25000,25000,25000)
	BP.Position = Vector3.new(20,0,0)
	BP.P = 100000
	BP.D = 100
	
end``` i did this but it still doesnt work

Try to up the power and decrease the dampening (D). Also try increasing the max force.

#7 
wait(5)
print("exectued")
for i, v in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	local HumanoidRootPart = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local BP = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
	BP.Parent = HumanoidRootPart
	BP.MaxForce = Vector3.new(25000,25000,25000)
	BP.Position = Vector3.new(20,0,0)
	BP.P = 1000000
	BP.D = 1
	
end

this still doesnt work unfortunatelty!

This isn’t working because you are checking the player for the HumanoidRootPart.

local HRP = v.Character.PrimaryPart

BodyPos.Parent = HRP
#9

Oops, you aren’t checking the Character for the HumanoidRootPart, you’re checking the player specifically. To fix this, do v.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").

#10

it is better to parent the bodyPosition after you configure all the properties.

#11

I’m aware, others have already told OP that parenting after setting all the properties is better memory wise and instance wise.
