Knockback Doesn't Work

[sevasok]

My knockback function knocks the player back the same amount every time even with different values implemented.

I want the knockback the player experiences to be based on the values implemented.

This video demonstrates how despite different values imputed the knockback effect is the same: 2021 08 09 23 34 57 - YouTube

function knockback(char, attacker, val, ntime)
	local charRoot = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local attackRoot = attacker:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")

	vel.Velocity = attackRoot.CFrame.LookVector * val
	vel.Parent = charRoot

	Debris:AddItem(vel, ntime)
end

Why don’t you use BodyVelocity instead?

Or this.

Adding Knockback to Combat System

Hey everyone, I need some insight on a feature I’m trying to add to a combat system I’m making. I want to add a “knockback system” and the ways that I’ve tried to do so haven’t worked. To clarify, I want both the attacker and the victim to be moving. When the player hits the victim, the victim will move back a bit and the player will advance towards the victim to continue the combo.

Things I've Tried So Far

I’ve tried two things so far, Changing Velocity of the HumanoidRootParts -- Basi…

If you look at the code you will notice that I already am using body velocity. The code you linked does the same exact thing as my code, and after testing it produces the exact same results. Thanks anyways though. I appreciate any help provided.

Ok I believe I fixed the problem. I simply replaced Debris:AddItem(item, time) with wait(time) item:Destroy(). I thank anybody who responded.
