Humanoid root part does not fling

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m trying to make a panel that flings the character in the game, but it doesn’t work.
What’s the problem here?

local button = script.Parent
local targetPlayer = script.Parent.Parent.TargetPlayer.Text
local players = game.Players

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if players:FindFirstChild(targetPlayer) then
		game.Players(targetPlayer):FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", game.Players(targetPlayer):FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"))

		BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,200,0)

		wait(1)

		BodyVelocity:Destroy()


	end
end)

By the way, is the event necessary?
Because the console is clean

You did not set the maxforce and P property.

#3

you didn’t setted the properties.

#4

That’s what I said?

#5

You forgot to include “.Character”

#6

bruh, your messages didn’t showed up.

#7 
local button = script.Parent
local targetPlayer = script.Parent.Parent.TargetPlayer.Text
local players = game.Players

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if players:FindFirstChild(targetPlayer) then
		game.Players(targetPlayer).Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", game.Players(targetPlayer).Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"))

		BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,200,0)

		wait(1)

		BodyVelocity:Destroy()


	end
end)

I tried this and didnt work.

#8

though, you shouldnt use the 2nd argument of instance.new, instead do bodyvelocity.Parent = game.Players[targetplayer].Character.HumanoidRootPart

#9

Like this?

local button = script.Parent
local targetPlayer = script.Parent.Parent.TargetPlayer.Text
local players = game.Players

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if players:FindFirstChild(targetPlayer) then
		game.Players[targetPlayer].Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true

		local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", game.Players[targetPlayer].Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart"))

		BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,200,0)

		wait(1)

		BodyVelocity:Destroy()


	end
end)

(Didnt work)

#10

Did you try the bodyvelocity.Parent script I suggested?

#11

Yes I tried but didnt work again. Strangely it doesn’t show any error or reaction.

Your code wont function for a majority of issues, it only runs on the client, the forces are way too small, the targetPlayer variable remains constant, and you’re directly indexing the Players service without using FindFirstChild. Instead remote events should be used to send a “fling user” request to the server to fling the selected user, and the issues listed above should be fixed:

--Client, your UI
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FlingRemote") 

local button = script.Parent
local targetPlayer = button.Parent.TargetPlayer --using .Text here makes the variable constant!

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local target = Players:FindFirstChild(targetPlayer.Text)
	if not target then return end 
	Remote:FireServer(target)
end)

--Server, Script is ServerScriptService
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 

local Remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
Remote.Name = "FlingRemote"

local admins = {game.CreatorId, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} --userIds of people allowed to fling others

local smallest = 10000 --smallest force 
local max = smallest*1000 --max force

Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target)
	--when using remotes, you have to make checks ON THE SERVER to ensure the client has permission to perform an action
	if not table.find(admins, player.UserId) then 
		warn(player.Name.." is not an admin!") 
		return 
	end
	local Character = target.Character 
	Character.Humanoid.Sit = true 
	local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Character.HumanoidRootPart) 
	local r = math.random 
	bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) --set the max force to infinity
	--set the velocity to a random huge value, 200 is nothing when it comes to forces
	bv.Velocity = Vector3.new(r(smallest, max), r(smallest, max)*workspace.Gravity, r(smallest, max))
	task.wait(1) --use the new task library!
	bv:Destroy()
end)
