How do i make the fling less/more aggresive based on distance

return Fling

I made this fling scripter after i got ragdolling working, it works fine besides 1 issue, id like the force applied to me less and less the further you are away from the “Point”

you should calculate the distance between the character and the point, then scale the velocity/force

something like this;

local Fling = {}

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()

Fling.Fling = function(Character, Point, WaitTime)

	require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Ragdoll).Ragdoll(Character)

	for _, Player in pairs(Players) do
		if not Character then continue end

		local Root = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if not Root then continue end

		local FlingDirection = CFrame.new(Point, Root.Position).LookVector
		local distance = (Root.Position - Point).Magnitude
		local strength = 200 / distance 

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Character.Torso)
		BodyVelocity.Velocity = FlingDirection * strength

		task.wait(0.2)
		BodyVelocity:Destroy()
	end

	task.wait(WaitTime)
	require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Ragdoll).UnRagdoll(Character)

end

return Fling

adjust local strength as needed
alternatively if you want a minimum or a max on strength (which is recommended if you are playing around with roblox physics) you can do

local strength = math.clamp(200 / distance, 20, 100)

where 20 is the minimum number and 100 is the maximum number

3

Measure how far the player is from the point, then make the push weaker if they are farther away. Use that to change how strong the fling is.

had ot make a small change with this that i forgot to make, anyways, how would i add a variable that controlls how strong the fling is? (changing both the max distance and fling power with the same value)

local Fling = {}

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()

Fling.Fling = function(Character, Point, WaitTime)

	require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Ragdoll).Ragdoll(Character)

	for _, Player in pairs(Players) do
		if not Character then continue end

		local Root = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if not Root then continue end

		local FlingDirection = CFrame.new(Point, Root.Position).LookVector
		local distance = (Root.Position - Point).Magnitude
		local strength = 200 / distance 

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Character.Torso)
		BodyVelocity.Velocity = FlingDirection * strength
		task.wait(0.05)
		BodyVelocity:Destroy()
	end

	task.wait(WaitTime)
	require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Ragdoll).UnRagdoll(Character)

end

return Fling

I mean something like:
function(Character, Point, WaitTime, Power)

5

change the number on the strength variable to whatever variable that should be in control of the strength

like:

local strength = Power / distance

assuming your function is passing through the parameter of “Power” (function(Character, Point, WaitTime, Power))

i changed my mind, id like to be able o change the power and maxdistance individually, how would i make it so if the player is out of the maxdistance, it wont ragdoll them at all? Also, would the max distance be able to be set in studs?
