How would I go about kicking a ball?

Is it a server script and not a local script? It should not be local

#42

It is not a LocalScript 300000000000000000000

#43

Strange, make sure the lines aren’t incorrectly entered like
local cheese = cheese.cheese.cheese.cheese.cheese

like that where it goes to the next sentence, could you send me a screenshot of the script in studio?

I don’t know why I set the LookVector * Value so high but that’s the script

#45

Yup, after if hit.Parent == it goes to the next sentence, put it back to the sentence

#46

Would you mind sending a screenshot of what the script is supposed to look like?

#47

Let me try something,

function kick(hit)
  local players = game:GetService("Players")
  if players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then 
script.Parent.Velocity = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.LookVector * 10

    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(kick)

this should work i made a little mistake

#49

Does this work correctly? @Lostnfon

It does, however, is there a way to make it shoot in the direction the player is moving and not where the camera is looking?
I’m a shift-lock player and it is kindof weird when the ball is behind you and the ball just pushes you forwards.
It’s almost perfect!
I can disable shiftlock and it would work but I know many people, like myself who use shiftlock regularly and I think the game would be better if you could use shiftlock.

#51

That’s more a roblox problem, it should shoot the direction you’re moving

#52

Ok, is there room for a wait timer? I think it would be useful lol
Just wondering where would be a good place that wouldn’t break the script?

#53

I have one fix which might work:

local debounce = false
function kick(hit)
if not debounce then
  local players = game:GetService("Players")
  if players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then 
script.Parent.Velocity = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("RightFoot").CFrame.LookVector * 10
debounce = true
wait(5)
debounce = false
end

    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(kick)

A cooldown for the kick? I can add that

there, added a cooldown for you

I’m also wondering if there’s a way to keep the player from climbing up the ball when he moves towards it facing towards the ball.

#57

Turn can collide off in the properties tab

#58

wouldn’t the ball fall through the map then?

Yes it does 3000000000000000000

Hm yeah, well another solution maybe:
Turn collission group IDs on in workspace properties, change the collission group ID of the ball to 2 or something else and place invisible walls with the same IDs
