How to make the Velocity in the direction I face and not the person affected

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
		Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,Character,NextAnim)
		if NextAnim == 1 then
		 local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			 local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HumanoidRootPart)
            BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,10,0) + HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector *  120
				
					            wait(0.5)

				
			 BodyVelocity:Destroy()

the script in question, for some reason it only sends them in the direction they face, and not the direction im hitting them at. Help appreciated

So you’re trying it to launch it based on where your character is looking?

Use the HumanoidRootPart of the Player

local HumanoidRootPart = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

use that HumanoidRootPart,

So if I’m not slow, I’m going to guess that you need to use something like displacement. (FinalVector - StartVector). This will get the direction in from the root part to your target.

Awesome.
So i’m tryna get the person, once they get knocked back to go into a Ragdoll stage for about a second, but I’m finding no success doing it. Heres what I’ve got. change it all up if you think its bad :slight_smile: ty for the help.

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
						        Humanoid.ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll)
						wait(1)
						        Humanoid.PlatformStand = true

    end)
end)

This is in a Server script btw incase that matters

So you’re doing this when the character is added. What I think you’re trying to achieve is when the State is changed, then you can do Humanoid.ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll)

ooo alright, how would I do that? Do you want the full script or do you have enough info as is.

#11

So like,

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.YourState then
Humanoid.ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll)
wait(1)
Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
end
end)

it says
" [YourState is not a valid EnumItem]

#13

Replace “YourState” with whatever state you’re trying to check in order to enable ragdoll

Ohhh lol sorry I’m not the brightest.

I dont really know what position they would be in. The knockback throws them up and back a bit so what do you think would work best with it?

#15

You could do this by setting the velocity.

local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HumanoidRootPart)
local Direction = CFrame.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position)
BodyVelocity.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
BodyVelocity.Velocity = Direction.lookVector * 50 --(you could change the values of 50 to match your knockback needs)
