How to Actually Use Roblox's Physics Character Controllers

In this part of the code:

local function doJump(actionName, inputState)
    if actionName == "JUMP_ACTION" and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin and humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll then
        local jumpImpulse = Vector3.new(0, 750, 0) -- Y is jump power. Change as you see fit.  

        controllerManager.RootPart:ApplyImpulse(jumpImpulse)
        
        humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping) 
        
        local floor = controllerManager.GroundSensor.SensedPart
        if floor then -- Character's on the floor?  
            floor:ApplyImpulseAtPosition(-jumpImpulse, controllerManager.GroundSensor.HitNormal) -- Equal and opposite force  
        end
    end
end

The relevant part would be:

local jumpImpulse = Vector3.new(0, 750, 0)

This is where the jump force is being applied.

Hello, good tutorial.

Have you made any reliable methods for the “Landed” HumanoidStateType to work when character actually has landed, if yes would you mind sharing?

Hello! When I was coding landing animations for my game, I used Humanoid.StateChanged. In particular, I checked for when the oldState was Freefall and the newState was Running. Then I simply changed the state to Landed.

Wonderful tutorial! I haven’t found alot like this in a while. I was just wondering:

Somebody already said how to detect player deaths and such previously on this thread. How can I respawn the player and stop the player from moving/controlling the character after death?
