How can you properly stun a player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I am attempting to make a part where if you touch it you get stunned to the ground, this is what I attempted already:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

			for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") and v.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
				v:Destroy()
				end
			end
		
		end	
end)

Any assistance is appreciated.

The PlatformStand property of Humanoids allow them to have what could be considered a stun effect.

Try this instead:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(partThatTouched)
    local Player =  game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(partThatTouched) 
 
    if Player then
    Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart:Destroy()
    end
end)

Pretty sure this would kill the player though, not make them fall to the ground.

Destroying the HumanoidRootPart makes the player unable to walk or move their character in the slightest bit. Impossible for it to kill the player.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Player =  game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit) 
 
    if Player then
    Player.Character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
    end
end)

I don’t think that will work, try setting their humanoid’s PlatformStand property to true, like @phoenixressusection just said

Who came with this idea of "“HumanoidRootPart:Destroy()”, was not him, he just tried to help.
