How to detect when a player has fell a certain amount of studs Mid-Air?

[zavaled]

Hello! i was wondering how would i make it so a script can detect when a a player falls a certain amount of studs Mid-Air?

This is the script i use:

local char = script.Parent
local root = char:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

	if humanoid and root then
		
		local headHeight
		
		humanoid.FreeFalling:Connect(function (state)
			if state then
				headHeight = root.Position.Y
			elseif not state and headHeight ~= nil then
			pcall(function ()

					local fell = headHeight - root.Position.Y

					if fell >= 40 then
				script.Parent.Ragdolled.Value=true
					end
				end)
			end
		end)
	end

But this script only detects it when the player hits the ground, any solutions?

Just use Humanoid.StateChanged to check if the player just started falling and when it’s landed.

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(PreviousState, NewState)
	if NewState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		-- what to do when it starts falling
	elseif NewState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		-- what to do when it landed
	end
end

You can use velocity to find the speed at which someone is falling (id use this)

I found an article on this topic but not sure if it’s works I’m on my phone: https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/248/how-would-i-create-fall-damage-in-my-game

local falling = HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Y

Or just when they start falling get their position store it in a variable wait a second then get their position again and if it’s how ever many studs different in the Y axis then you can enable your damage

Roblox gravity by default I believe is 196 studs/s
Basically
H = Height (what you want)
G = Gravity (9.8)
T = Time from falling to landed

h=1/2gt^2
