Launch A Player Using CFrame and Body Velocities

Hey there! I’ve been stuck for a little while and browsing the forum looking for a solution, but have had no success.

Currently, I am making a cannon that allows the player to aim where they want on the client, and then fires an event with the CFrame which then the server uses to launch. However, I am not having any success with making it launch well and smoothly.

Here’s my code:

game.ReplicatedStorage.FireCannon.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, barrelPrimary)
	local char = plr.Character
	
	local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	
	local X, Y, Z = barrelPrimary:ToOrientation()

	bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(X*9,Y*9,Z*9)
	bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	bodyVelocity.P = math.huge

	bodyVelocity.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart
	
	--game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(bodyVelocity,3)
end)

Thanks, Jail
