Help with BodyVelocity

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am creating a tool that spawns a part that is suppose to spin and go in same the direction where the character is facing. Right now, the forces are applied, but it sometimes goes diagonal from the player, which I don’t want. You can test it here.

I tried removing the rotational force, but it didn’t affect anything. One thing I’m unsure about is that if I’m applying the body velocity’s velocity correctly. Any help is appreciated!

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local FORCE = 400

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.Position = handle.Position - Vector3.new(0,2.5,0)
	
	local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(FORCE,FORCE,FORCE)
	bodyVelocity.P = FORCE
	bodyVelocity.Velocity = humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * FORCE -- supposed to move where character is facing at
	bodyVelocity.Parent = part
	
	part.Parent = workspace
	part:ApplyAngularImpulse(Vector3.new(0,FORCE,0)) -- applies rotation
	
	wait(1)
	
	bodyVelocity:Destroy()
end)

the way you have it makes it so it launches the player in the way its looking

Sorry, can you clarify? I don’t get what you mean.

Try using the lookvector of the player’s Torso rather than humanoidrootpart

I tried it, but it did not change anything. Thank you for the suggestion though.

you could try spawning the part more in front of the player so that it doesn’t collide with the player’s legs. it’s collosion with the player may be the course of it’s offset.

No luck. I updated the place and had the part spawn far away from the player, and it still seems to go in a diagonal direction.

8

I think it’s the rotation that is offsetting the part. Try making the part uncollideable and maybe try using “BodyAngularVelocity”, which is a body mover. Instead of :ApplyAngularImpulse

9

I updated the place without the part rotation.

I see. Try this:

part.CFrame= handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-2)

This should be a simple fix, but it still doesn’t work properly. I updated the place with the code you typed.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local FORCE = 400

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.CFrame = handle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-2)
	
	local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(FORCE,FORCE,FORCE)
	bodyVelocity.P = FORCE
	bodyVelocity.Velocity = humanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * FORCE -- supposed to move where character is facing at
	bodyVelocity.Parent = part
	
	part.Parent = workspace
	--part:ApplyAngularImpulse(Vector3.new(0,FORCE,0)) -- applies rotation
	
	wait(1)
	
	--bodyVelocity:Destroy()
	part:Destroy()
end)
