Make ball have proper physics

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi. I am making a soccer ball for my game, but the only problem is is that physics are kind of sucffed and powers are random. The duration is basically how long the mouse is held for on the client, then a remote event fires and a bodyforce is created.

I am trying to make it so the ball stays in the air like you are doing a kick up for a bit then drops back down on the floor, but that only works if you hold the mouse down for more than 1 second.

Script:

RemoteEvent:Connect(function(Player, Ball, Duration)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local Torso = Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
	local Distance = HumanoidRootPart.Position.Magnitude - Ball.Position.Magnitude
	if Distance > 1 then return end
	if not Torso:FindFirstChild("BallWeld") then return end

	local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce") 
	BodyForce.Force = Torso.CFrame.LookVector * 500 * Duration + Vector3.new(0, 1100*Duration, 0)
	BodyForce.Name = Player.Name
	BodyForce.Parent = Ball 
	Sound:Play()
	Debris:AddItem(BodyForce , 0.45)

	for _, v in pairs(Torso:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Weld") and v.Name == "BallWeld" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end 
end)

Any help would be appriciated, thanks!

Ball rolls infinitely and doesn't have reliable solutions

Don’t use BodyForce
I use BodyVelocity with a high maxforce and the velocity set correctly, then remove it using debris after 0.2 seconds or so. This works well.

Thanks. I tried BodyVelocity and for some reason my ball physics just stopped working.
Update: the power of the ball seems to have tripled.

Script:

RemoteEvent:Connect(function(Player, Ball, Duration)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local Torso = Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
	local Distance = HumanoidRootPart.Position.Magnitude - Ball.Position.Magnitude
	if Distance > 1 then return end
	if not Torso:FindFirstChild("BallWeld") then return end

	local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") 
	BodyForce.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	BodyForce.Velocity = Torso.CFrame.LookVector * 500 * Duration + Vector3.new(0, 110*Duration, 0)
	BodyForce.Name = Player.Name
	BodyForce.Parent = Ball 
	Sound:Play()
	Debris:AddItem(BodyForce , 0.45)

	for _, v in pairs(Torso:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Weld") and v.Name == "BallWeld" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end 
end)
