Knockback (BodyVelocity) Isn't Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve been testing on my combat system for a few months and I’ve been planning on adding knockback to make it more “fluid”. Big problem though: The knockback part of my damage script isn’t working. I’ve looked in youtube, the Developer Hub, even here, but nothing worked.
So I decided to ask for help here on how to fix it:

--Knockback Variables--
local RmtEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Punch
local RmtEvent2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.Heavy
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local Force = 80000
local Speed = -40

--The Damage/Knockback/Punch Part--
RmtEvent2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Character)
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local HRP = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HRP)
	BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(Force, Force, Force) --Doesn't work (problem)
	BV.MaxForce = HRP.CFrame.LookVector * Speed -- Also doesn't work (another problem)
	Debris:AddItem(BV, 0.35)
end)

So as you can see in the fragment above, when I punch the enemy, the Velocity and MaxForce properties don’t work so the enemy just stands there.
It would be considerate for some answers here! :smiley:
