Knockback based off where you click

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to achieve knockback similar to arsenal where if you shoot a rocket you get knock back and go flying in the air. I have got it working but I don’t think my method is the best:

local script inside character

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local char = script.Parent
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local humRp = char.HumanoidRootPart

local db = tick()
local force = 100

local function create(pos,lookAt)
	local part = Instance.new("Part")
	part.Parent = workspace
	part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	part.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(pos,lookAt)
	part.Anchored = true
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.Transparency = 1
	
	return part
end

local function mouseClick()
	if tick()-db < .2 then return else db = tick() end
	
	local mousePos = mouse.Hit.Position
	local distance = (mousePos-humRp.Position).Magnitude
	local part = create(mousePos,humRp.Position)
	
	humRp.Velocity = part.CFrame.LookVector*force
	part:Destroy()
end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(mouseClick)

I’m basically creating a part at the mouse, making it look at the player and using that lookVector to add knockback.

Any better methods of doing this is greatly appreciated!

Yeah, you could update your method, since most of the stuff used here is deprecated. I recommend looking into UserInputService and LinearVelocity.
