How would I go about kicking a ball?

#61

once again not sure if that will work but it might, my pc is on cooldown so i can’t open it today

#62

It is working however it is extremely laggy.
Even in studio it’s laggy so I’m not sure how it would handle in a real server.

#63

strange, never happened to me, are the walls anchored?

#64

Yes. 30000000000000000000000000

#65

That’s probably everything loading in then, it can’t be any of the stuff you just made

The stuff that is circled is the walls
I doubt that would cause lag.

#67

Just a quick additions, assuming your ball is unanchored, roblox added a thing called :ApplyImpulse() which basically gives the ball momentumn, it’s more effective then using body velocity as that might be glitchy unless you constantly change it.

#68

Yeah that’s exactly what I was saying, so i don’t know the cause

#69

Give me a moment to do tests on my main pc

Try this :GetMass() of all the balls parts and sum it together. Then multiply that with velocity and the vector you want the ball to move towards.

#71

Infinate Yeild Possible on 'Workspace.CbrahDev.Waitforchild(“RightFoot”)
(CbrahDev is my main)
That is without GetMass:
I think that this is the reason it’s lagging because I got that warning hundreds of times the second I loaded in to the game.

#72

Have you tried making the event in the ball instead of the foot?

#73

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 * 100
debounce = true
wait(2.5)
debounce = false
end

end

end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(kick)

#74

How do I type it in my response like it’s a script?
I’m new sorry

#75

do you use r6 or r15 for the game

#76

Player choice. 3000000000000000

#77 
"```lua
--put code here
```"

remove the quotations

#79 
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 * 100
			debounce = true
			wait(2.5)
			debounce = false
		end

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

players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) interesting line I am gonna use that in the future.

I would change a few things, first I would remove change the if statment to players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") I am using the humanoid root part since that is consistent, the right foot might be moved due to animations.

Also the next line has a wait for child, if the player leaves the game it would cause lag as it becomes extra memory.

I would change that line to script.Parent:ApplyImpulse(hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 100 * script.Parent:GetMass()) This makes the ball move at 100 studs/s

Otherwise looks good

Also critical add in there at the beginning of the script script.Parent:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

#81

Yup that’s my line, basically what it does is it finds the player based on the character instance, found that out a few weeks ago
