RocketPropulsion and Explosions

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m attempting to creating a player fired missile system, which i have for the most part. But once the rocket reaches it’s Target (using ReachedTarget) the explosion is not at the location of where the rocket is, instead its in the middle of the baseplate.

Here’s a video of it happening:

Here’s my code

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local part = game.Workspace.Part -- Just assuming there's something here based on your script.
local startPoint = part.CFrame.p -- This will be the firing point basically
local speed = 100

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	local lookPoint = mouse.Hit.p
	local heightPoint = game.Workspace.Height.CFrame.p
	
	local Location = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace);
    Location.CFrame = mouse.Hit;
	
	
	
    local projectile = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Missle"):Clone()
	projectile.Parent = workspace
	projectile.CFrame = CFrame.new(startPoint)
	
	
	wait(2)
	
            projectile.CFrame = CFrame.new(heightPoint) -- Projectile starts at "startPoint", while looking at "lookPoint"
	            mouse.TargetFilter = projectile -- The mouse will ignore the projectile so it doesn't end up above the mouse position   
wait (0.5)
local BV = Instance.new("RocketPropulsion") -- Creating body velocity
	BV.Target = Location
	BV.Parent = projectile
	BV.ThrustP = 100
	BV.MaxSpeed = 200
	BV.CartoonFactor = 100
	   BV:Fire()
	BV.TargetRadius = 5
	
	
BV.ReachedTarget:Connect(function(e)
		local x = Instance.new("Explosion", projectile)
		x.BlastRadius = 15
	end)	
end)

Hey! Simple fix here.

You missed a property you must define to make the explosion occur in the right location!

When you create the Explosion, you need to define Position, which must be a Vector3 value.

Read more about it’s property’s here:
Explosions
