How to cast CFrame into LinearVelocity

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am looking for a way to use CFrame to the Velocity property of LinearVelocity. I want whoever I hit with a punch to slowly be knocked in front of the player. So far reversing look vector does work but it does not work as well when the opponent is on your left or right

What i am using(Does not work as well)

Velocity.VectorVelocity = -(Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 10)

What I tried but did not work(What i need)

local position =  Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 5)
Velocity.VectorVelocity = position.p

The main issue I identified is .p just does not seem to work for velocities

I’m thinking maybe you just have to set the Actuator.

local LinearVelocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
LinearVelocity.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.World
LinearVelocity.VectorVelocity = position.p -- Make sure you parent it!

I don’t fully know the behavior of this new object but I’m thinking that’s what’s needed first.

If position is a CFrame, use position.Position instead.

Oh yeah and make sure you parent it.

Okay, I’ll try this out thanks! I’ll make sure to mark it if it works

It seems to just be going in the same direction, I’ll show the full code regarding linearvelocity

	local Velocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
	Velocity.Parent = Character.HumanoidRootPart
	Velocity.MaxForce = math.huge
	Velocity.Attachment0 = Target.HumanoidRootPart.RootRigAttachment
	local lookpos = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 5)
	Velocity.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.World
	
	Velocity.VectorVelocity = lookpos.Position

I think you’ll have to update it as time continues on. Make a loop or a temporary connection to update the lookpos variable.

Before i do that im gonna try using the X Y Z variables of the cframe separatly

and it looks like nothing seems to work

I expected that, unfortunately. Though, I’d also try to manually set the velocity which seems to do just as good.

BasePart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(X, Y, Z)
