Help with Error: 'MaxForce cannot be assigned to '

So in my game you should be able to throw firework but everytime I try to set the MaxVelocity of the LinearVelocity the error comes.

The Code:

local FireworkIndex = {
    ["BundleOfFirework"] = {
        FullName = "Bundle Of Firework",
        Model = GameAssets.Firework.BundleOfFirework,
        MaxVel = 10000,
        Vel = 5000
    }
}

-- Throw code:

FireFirework:Connect(function(Player: Player, LookVector: Vector3)
    local Char = Player.Character

    if Char then
        local Root = Char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        if Root then
           local Firework = FireworkIndex["BundleOfFirework"]
           local Model = Firework.Model:Clone()

           Model.PrimaryPart.CFrame = Root.CFrame + Root.CFrame.LookVector -- Ignore this
           Model.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(Model.PrimaryPart.Position, LookVector) -- and this please
           
           Model.Parent = workspace

           Model.PrimaryPart.Velocity.MaxForce = Firework.MaxVel -- Error comes from here
           Model.PrimaryPart.Velocity.VectorVelocity = Root.CFrame.LookVector * Firework.Vel
        end
    end
end)

Try printing out the velocity and tell me what you got

#3

Prints 10000

This text will be blurred

#4

Did you print the MaxVel or MaxForce? If you did I mean’t that you should print MaxForce.

#5

I printed the MaxVel
Kinda wierd error

#6

Can’t understand the problem. How about try commenting the erroring line, and check if the next line errors as well or it works.

#7

The next line errors the exact same error but for the VectorVelocity

#8

Weird. Maybe try removing the Firework variable and just define the table? (Though I don’t think it’ll change anything)

#9

Yep. It didn’t change anything

#10

Are you using a LinearVelocity or something else? Also, correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the VectorVelocity property is a Vector3 type.

#11

I’m using a LinearVelocity and

the LookVector is a Vector3

#12

what does the error say on the output?

#13

Oh right. I’m not sure what could be the problem. For now, maybe try putting them in a pcall and warning out the result?

(Though I think it’d just warn the error instead)

I just tried changing the max force through the command bar and it worked, so I literally have no idea what could be causing the problem. Probably another Roblox thing.

#14

VectorVelocity cannot be assigned to

#15

I found the problem

I probably shouldn’t have named Velocity becouse of the depricated Velocity :sweat_smile:

Thanks anyways

#16

Oh alright. Good thing you found the problem! Good luck on developing!
