Knockback pretty uneffective on humanoids

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have some dummies set up, and was testing ApplyImpulse() for some knockback.

game.Workspace.eeee:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 500, 0))

This is cool.


Now, when I run the same amount of force on this humanoid dummy,

Basically nothing.
I’ve seen some posts talking about HumanoidStateTypes, but I don’t know if that’s the best option.
Is it? Is there another way? Is there a better method? Do I just need to apply more force?

I am.

This code is just for the part in the first clip. You can see the changed code in the second video:

game.Workspace.Dummy1.HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0, 500, 0))

oh my bad i didnt watch it all sorry, you can use massless property (on every basepart except humanoidrootpart)

it can be effected by mass, you can use mass * x = staticforce that means

you can sync the forces.

workspace.Rig.HumanoidRootPart:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0,(500/workspace.Part.Mass),0))

workspace.Part:ApplyImpulse(Vector3.new(0,(500/workspace.Rig.HumanoidRootPart.Mass),0))

(I made up the concept of static force, I don’t know what it is called. It is your apply force) (I used translate too)

or just you can use AssemblyLinearVelocity
because force and velocity are not the same.

Humanoids exert some force to keep itself stable, especially in the Running state.
If you just wanna fling humanoids around, do Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics) – don’t forget to set this back to Running or GettingUp when you want the humanoid to get back on its feet
If you want more controlled knockback in a specific direction/speed/duration, use an AssemblyLinearVelocity to push the humanoid then destroy it when done
