Does the just move at the same speed after?

#9

Yeah, pretty much. I don’t think anchoring parts gets rid of the velocity unfortunately.

#10

Try setting the humanoid’s walk speed to 0.

#11

then back to normal walk speed

#12

You need to wait until physics have finished simulating for that frame (with heartbeat) and then set the velocity to 0

game:GetService'RunService'.Heartbeat:Wait()
plr.Character.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

Don’t really think that’s doing anything

#14

I’m kind of new to scripting, what does this line do?

game:GetService'RunService'.Heartbeat:Wait()
#15

It wait until after the game has finished calculating physics for that frame

Here is a good explanation:

Thanks for sending me that post. I’ve integrated your suggestion into my script, but it still doesn’t seem to be working properly. Did I put it in correctly?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		
		local Humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		
		Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
			
			if Humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
				print("Setting velocity to 0")
				game:GetService"RunService".Heartbeat:Wait()
				Humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new()
			end
			
		end)
		
	end)
	
end)

On the line after the wait for heartbeat, it says

Vector3.new()

Try

Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
#18

Seems to work fine for me.

Is your script a server script or a localscript?

Server script under ServerScriptService

#20

On the line after the wait for heartbeat, it says

Vector3.new()

Try

Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

Try this. If this doesn’t work I have one more idea.

#21

Vector3.new() automatically constructs a vector with 0,0,0 coords if no args are passed

#23

I just put the script into a blank game, and it works :thinking:

#24

Ok, the script works in a default baseplate, but not my actual game. I’ll have to do some looking to make sure I don’t have some weird setting enabled. Anyways, thanks for both of you guy’s help.

#25

I found the issue. My game was using R6 character models which use the head as the Primary Part, but you need to apply the velocity to the HumanoidRootPart.

#26

Which meant that maybe if you tried my anchor method, it would work aswell.

#27

When you anchor a part, the velocity still resumes, anchoring doesnt work

Its odd cause this worked for me in the past.
