Pushing Sidewards

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I got such a problem with pushing script.
So my problem is when a grenade explodes player should be pushed back, but player getting pushed side-wards.

Source:

local Explosion = script.Parent

local Damage = 8

Explosion.Hit:Connect(function(part, distance)
	if not part or not part.Parent then return end
	if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end
	local hum = part.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	hum:TakeDamage(Damage)
	
	local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", part.Parent.Torso)

	bv.Velocity = part.Parent.Torso.CFrame.LookVector * -130

	game.Debris:AddItem(bv, 0.25)
end)

-130 is a Sideways move if I remember Right.

I already tried without minus :upside_down_face:

I can’t remember the exact number, But I would just Experiment with the CFrame / Velocity.

try applying the direction from the grenade to the player as a force of the explosion instead of hte lookvector. this is done like so:

local directionNonUnit = (grenadepos - playerpos)
local distance = directionNonUnit.magnitude
local direction = directionNonUnit.unit

bv.Velocity = direction*distance

Edit
this gives the velocity a force compared to the distance of the player and the grenade to make sure the right velocity is applied over distance

How do i change push force? :upside_down_face:

loop through the whole playerlist, check if people have a character in the workspace:

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if v.Character then
        local hum = part.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        hum:TakeDamage(Damage)

        local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", part.Parent.Torso)
        local directionNonUnit = (grenadepos - playerpos)
        local distance = directionNonUnit.magnitude
        local direction = directionNonUnit.unit

        bv.Velocity = direction*distance
    end
end

basically apply what i mentioned above into your scrip and you should be fine with the force being applied correctly.

edit
this kind of depends on the system you have

Edited :GetChildren() to :GetPlayers() i usually automatically write :GetChildren() thus i made a swiftness mistake

But, i need to make it push back when a nade exploded.

EDIT:
Oh, got it sorry :sweat_smile:

A little note when getting Players; the canonical function to use here is GetPlayers, which explicitly returns instances of the Player class. You typically won’t have anything other than Players in the Players service though.
