How to add knockback to a punch

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

here is the server script, let me know if u need the local script ( u probably dont need that becuz its just hitbox and animation based )

server script:

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local events = rs:WaitForChild("Events")
local hitboxEvent = events:WaitForChild("Hitbox")



function newHitbox(character, size, offset, damage, linger)
	local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if hrp == nil then return end
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint", hrp)
	local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
	weld.Part0 = hrp
	weld.Part1 = hitbox

	hitbox.Transparency = 1
	hitbox.CanCollide = false
	hitbox.CanQuery = false
	hitbox.Massless = true

	hitbox.Size = size
	hitbox.CFrame = hrp.CFrame + hrp.CFrame.LookVector * offset.X + Vector3.new(0,offset.Y)
	hitbox.Parent = character

	hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end

		for _, v in pairs(hitbox:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("ObjectValue") then
				if v.Value == hit.Parent then return end
			end
		end

		local hitCounter = Instance.new("ObjectValue", hitbox)
		hitCounter.Value = hit.Parent

		hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
		
		local sound = script.Sound:Clone()
		sound.Parent = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		sound:Play()
		game.Debris:AddItem(sound,2)
		local punchParticle = game.ReplicatedStorage["Particle"].Attachment:Clone()
		punchParticle.Parent = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		for i, v in pairs(punchParticle:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
				v:Emit(30)
				game.Debris:AddItem(punchParticle,0.4)
			end
		end
	end)

	game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox, linger)
end

hitboxEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size, offset, damage, linger)
	newHitbox(plr.Character, size, offset, damage, linger)
end)

Try hrp:ApplyImpulse(). Add a vector3 value inside the brackets to specify the knock back

#3

Isnt applyimpulse only client sided

#4

No it depends on network ownership.

Linear velocity instances automatically replicate to client to it may be easier.

Smoothness is a different story and problem you may need custom client side effects to hide the lag (testing required).

#5

Could u just fire all clients and add linear velocity locally

Ive never tested this but i was just wondering lol
