How to put velocity on a character serverside?

#1

I figure this would be a no-brainer but I can’t seem to find a way to do it.
All the ways I know involve putting velocity on a character clientside, but the issue is that there’s that delay between client and server. As a result, the time the velocity starts on the player does not sync up.

I would like to find a way to make it serverside so that at least both clients get synced up, even if there’s a delay.

What I have now is a localscript that runs whenever a server script calls for the player to be moved via RemoteEvent. I tried making one for the server side but the delay is still there for some reason.

(This is for a 2d game, so I would only like there to be knockback in two directions relative to another player)

velocityEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function (kbX, kbY)
	print("moving " .. localPlayer.Name)
	root.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	root.RotVelocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	if localPlayer.Character.Humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		if kbY > 0 or kbY < 0 then
			localPlayer.Character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
		end
	end
	if (root.CFrame.lookVector.X>0) then
		root.Velocity = Vector3.new(kbX, kbY, 0)
	else
		root.Velocity = Vector3.new(-kbX, kbY, 0)
	end
	wait(0.1)
	localPlayer.Character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false
	script.Disabled = true
	script.Disabled = false
end)

quick bump, I really need help figuring this out–

Pretty hard to do as by default players character are locally owned by the client.

Try setting the network ownership on the character on the server though this may result in loss of the players character control.
