How Do I Knock A Character Back?

[Void_Giver (fatgiver)]

Hello, I want to know how I can knock a character back.
Any time I used body force or velocity it knocks them back 20% of the time for no reason and its extremely annoying.
How do I knock a character back effectively?

local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
bodyForce.Force = CFrame.new(handle.Position, root.Position).LookVector * 9999
bodyForce.Parent = root

Could you provide a little more context/clarification as to what you’re trying to accomplish and what the problems are? I’m a little confused by “Any time I used body force or velocity it knocks them back 20% of the time for no reason.” It would help to know when that problem happens & what this knockback script is for.

try making the character stunned when they’re pushed back

basically change the platformstand

Adding on to this, I’m pretty sure forces only work if theyre jumping/sitting/platformstanding. While testing your code, try jumping, and seeing if it works 100% of the time. Not sure what method you’re usinig, but if theyre just standing, it’s going to be a real gamble.

Adding Knockback to Combat System

local Speed = 40 local Force = 80000 local TotalForce = Force local KnockBack = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") KnockBack.Parent = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")--part is the target of the knockback/ the opponent KnockBack.MaxForce = Vector3.new(TotalForce,TotalForce,TotalForce) KnockBack.Velocity = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector * Speed -- based on the direction YOUR character is facing. This is how I made my knockback, hope it helps, even if its…
