I have a wave ingame that when its hitbox is touched it ragdolls the player, but I want it to also push the player in the direction the wave is moving, I have no clue how to do that

Visual example:

(PD: I know in the video the model isn’t welded correctly but that’s not the issue i already fixed that)

help pls :sweat_smile:

Apparently BodyVelocity instances are deprecated so idk what to do

#3

Use :ApplyImpulse. If you could show your code, I could write it for you.

For sure, here is the touched function in my code

(Wave is the tweening part)

local hitbox = wave.HitPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		local char = hit.Parent
		if char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end
		local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
		
		if hitlist[char] == true then return end
		hitlist[char] = true
		
		
		-- Touch end
		
		local touchend = wave.HitPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
			print("done")
		end)
		
		-- Tsunami behaviour
		
		RagdollController.RagdollCharacter(char)
		
		
		task.wait(1)
		
		hitlist[char] = false
		touchend:Disconnect()
		
		
	end)

I added :ApplyImpulse.

Code:

local hitbox = wave.HitPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local char = hit.Parent
	if char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end
	local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)

	if hitlist[char] == true then return end
	hitlist[char] = true


	-- Touch end

	local touchend = wave.HitPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
		print("done")
	end)

	-- Tsunami behaviour

	RagdollController.RagdollCharacter(char)
	char.HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(wave.HitPart.CFrame.LookVector * char.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyMass)

	task.wait(1)

	hitlist[char] = false
	touchend:Disconnect()


end)

For some reason It is not working…

#7

Does it need to be done from a localscript or something?

#8

Yes it does, try using a remote event to fire the specific client and have it fling the player

#9

LinearVelocity is the BodyVelocity equivalent. All of those objects got replaced with an equivalent when they were all deprecated.
