Trying to make a player sort of fly backwards when they touch a part, similar to this:
https://gyazo.com/a30ea1537e94355c211e6b950f6a2aa9
I have a basic part touch function setup.
--Variables--
local Brick = script.Parent
--End--
--Code--
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
print("Touched")
end
end
Brick.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)
This is the code to fling a player, but first you actually have to get the character. Let me know if you do not know how to do that!
--Variables--
local Brick = script.Parent
--End--
--Code--
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
print("Touched")
end
end
Brick.Touched:connect(PlayerTouched)
You didn’t change the code, you just typed my code.
Oh sorry I was trying to edit something and messed up here!
Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-1000,1000), 1000,math.random(-1000,1000))
If that doesn’t work, try this
character.PrimaryPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(1000,1000,1000)
Just let me know if it doesn’t work and Ill edit yours to see how I can get it to work and test it in studios. 
no worries, i’ll try the code now and get the character to make it work
the script isn’t working for me, and I have a variable to get the player and the character so I’m not sure why
To get the character you can check to see if the part is a child of the character.
local function GetCharFromPart(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
return part.Parent
end
if part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
return part.Parent.Parent -- In case a hat touches the part.
end
end
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
local character = GetCharFromPart(Part)
end
Hm, okay. I’ll just test everything out in studios. I’ll give it to you if I can get it working!
Oh, and if you want to fling the player, you need to set the network owner all character parts to the server.
local function SetCharacterNetworkOwnership(character, owner)
for _, obj in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
obj:SetNetworkOwner(owner)
end
end
end
local function GetCharFromPart(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
return part.Parent
end
if part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
return part.Parent.Parent -- In case a hat touches the part.
end
end
local function PlayerTouched(Part)
local character = GetCharFromPart(Part)
if character == nil then
return
end
SetCharacterNetworkOwnership(character, nil)
character.UpperTorso.Velocity = -script.Parent.CFrame.LookVector * 1000 -- Should fling the player in the opposite direction.
end
So all the replies have been giving some things that I’ve never seen but here’s how I personally would go about it.
--# variables
local Brick = script.Parent
local players = {} -- creating a table of all players who touch the part since one touch fires the event a bunch of times
local connection
--# functions
Brick.Touched:Connect(function(TouchedPart)
if TouchedPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then -- making sure it is a humanoid then
local character = TouchedPart.Parent
if not character then return end
if table.find(players, character) then return end -- making sure they only touch once
table.insert(players, character)
local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") -- using bodyVelocity to throw the player
BodyVelocity.Velocity = CFrame.new(TouchedPart.Position,character.PrimaryPart.Position).LookVector * 1000 -- this line makes a force that moves against the part, you can change the 100 to any number to modify the strength of the push
BodyVelocity.Parent = character.PrimaryPart
-- add your ragdoll script here
wait(0.5)
BodyVelocity:Destroy() -- you have to destroy it or they might go on forever
-- stop ragdoll here
table.clear(players) -- removing the player so they can get pushed if they touch it again
end
end)
you might have to modify this bc i didn’t test it but you get the idea, reply if you have questions 
A script in a part on the workspace …
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Hit_Character = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Parent or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Parent
if debounce == false then debounce = true
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
local offset = Vector3.new()
bv.Parent = (Hit_Character.LowerTorso)
bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(100000,100000,100000) -- can mess with this or the 80's
bv.Velocity = (Hit_Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector * -80)
+ (Hit_Character.Head.CFrame.UpVector * 80)
wait(0.01) bv:Destroy()
debounce = false
end wait(1)
end)
May want to check for Torso vs LowerTorso for the two types of player bodies.
Found this script on here a while back … sadly I can’t remember from who. Changed it just a bit for a better effect.
Bad idea, that’ll create huge times between pressing a movement key and your character actually moving, instead just apply the velocity inside a local script.
both of your scripts work, thank you so much! If I could mark 2 answers as solutions, I would.
I added my ragdoll script where you told me to but the force isnt applied until they unragdoll

hm, strange try ragdolling them before the local BodyVelocity = line
