Need script to track velocity

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

This is more of a math issue than a script issue, but an issue never the less. I’m trying to make a script that tracks a players velocity as part of an anti-exploit. Below are the velocity outputs for the HumanoidRootPart. The first output is for walking forward, the second for walking diagonally. I need the script to make it have the same velocity output(without exploits), regardless of direction.

That’s why you check the magnitude of the velocity so the direction the player is going doesn’t matter to your script.

Ok, so how can I implement this?

#4

.Magnitude gets the “length” of something:

local pos1 = Vector3.new(0,5,0)
local pos2 = Vector3.new(0,10,5)
print((pos1 - pos2).Magnitude)
-- >>   7.0710678100586

Yes, but how can I make a script that measures the magnitude of a part?

#6

What do you mean by the “magnitude of a part”?

#7

You literally get the velocity of humanoidrootpart and then get it’s magnitude.
Here is an example.

local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players["Player1"].Character.HumanoidRootPart --This part is just for an example.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
while true do
    RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
    print(HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.Magnitude) --This usually prints 16-17 at max if the walkspeed is the default(16) and player is moving on a stable surface without jumping. It can go up to 55-60 if player is jumping on stable surface while walking.
end

Ok, that works. Now, is there a way to negate the Y velocity? (from falling and jumping)

#9

HumanoidRootPart.Velocity.X(or Z).Magnitude

#10

Actually, this just returns 1 number. You could try turning it into a Vector2?

(HumanoidRootPart.Velocity * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1)).Magnitude

Thank you all for your help. I have gotten the script to work as intended.
