When players touch the hitbox in the game, they are supposed to get knocked back slightly and then go into a ragdoll state. However, there’s an issue where the knockback doesn’t happen immediately. Instead, there is a delay of about 2-3 seconds before the ragdoll effect kicks in. Once it does, the players are flung away with a lot of force, causing them to fly far distances. I don’t know how to fix this if anyone can help adjust the script so that the knock back happens instantly when the hit box is touched, followed immediately by the rag doll effect, creating a smoother and more predictable reaction. Below is the script that makes them get knock back and rag dolled.
local function applyKnockbackAndRagdoll(enemyHum, direction)
local enemyHumRp = enemyHum.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if enemyHumRp then
local force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", enemyHumRp)
force.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1) * math.huge
force.Velocity = direction * knockbackForce
debris:AddItem(force, 0.35)
local enemyChar = enemyHum.Parent
local ragdoll = RagdollModule.new(enemyChar)
ragdoll:Ragdoll()
task.delay(3, function()
ragdoll:UnRagdoll()
end)
end
end
local function createHitbox(vfxClone)
local hitbox = Instance.new("Part")
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Transparency = 1
hitbox.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
hitbox.Name = "Hitbox"
hitbox.CFrame = vfxClone.CFrame
hitbox.Parent = vfxClone
return hitbox
end
local function attachVFXToPlayer(player)
local character = player.Character
if not character then
warn("Character not found for player: " .. player.Name)
return
end
local vfxModel = insertService:LoadAsset(VFXModelID)
local vfxPart = vfxModel:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Part")
if not vfxPart then
warn("VFX part not found in the model!")
return
end
local vfxClone = vfxPart:Clone()
vfxClone.Anchored = false
vfxClone.CanCollide = true
vfxClone.Transparency = 1
vfxClone.Name = "VFXClone"
local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if humanoidRootPart then
vfxClone.Parent = character
vfxClone.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Part0 = vfxClone
weld.Part1 = humanoidRootPart
weld.Parent = vfxClone
local hitbox = createHitbox(vfxClone)
local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight")
highlight.Adornee = vfxClone
highlight.FillColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 0)
highlight.FillTransparency = 0.5
highlight.OutlineTransparency = 1
highlight.Parent = vfxClone
local emitters = getAllParticleEmitters(vfxClone)
disableControlsAndMovement(player)
delay(1.49, function()
for _, emitter in pairs(emitters) do
emitter.Enabled = true
end
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit:IsA("BasePart") and hit.Parent ~= character then
local enemyHum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if enemyHum then
local enemyChar = enemyHum.Parent
local enemyHumRp = enemyChar:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if enemyHumRp then
local direction = (enemyHumRp.Position - hitbox.Position).Unit
applyKnockbackAndRagdoll(enemyHum, direction)
end
end
end
end)
delay(4, function()
vfxClone:Destroy()
enableControlsAndMovement(player)
end)
end)
else
warn("HumanoidRootPart not found for player: " .. player.Name)
end
end
