How to give a player a forcefield through a script?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m pretty new to scripting and I want to make an ability that creates a forcefield around the player for 5 seconds (the regular roblox forcefield, not a custom one)

I’m not looking for a full script, I’m just looking for some directions to start the script

I don’t really like spoonfeeding code but it’s easier to do it like this ig…

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local Player = game.Players.TargetName

function forcefield(Target)
   local FF = Instance.new("ForceField")

   FF.Parent = Target.Character
   Debris:AddItem(FF, 5)

   return FF -- in case you want to do something with it
end

forcefield(Player)

Proper documents when giving a player forcefield through a script is like bjdanh266 mentioned:
ForceField | Roblox Creator Documentation, but you can also
loop through the player by using loops:
https://education.roblox.com/en-us/resources/pairs-and-ipairs-intro.

You can then make a new instance and attach a forcefield to the player on entry of the game.
This may also be relevant to your direction request:
