Stopping the ball from rolling infinetly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The title says it all, im tryna make a script to stop the ball from rolling infinetly.

Ive had a script with bodyforce that if the velocity magnitude of the ball was higher of 0, the bodyforce wouldve reduced the speed on Z and X axes, but now that bodyforce is depracated, i tried putting a linear velocity in it with an attachment.

But i had still a problem with that, while goalkeepers tried to catch the ball, they would be stuck with the ball.

so after that, i got a suggestion from a friend of mine: he told me i should use assembly linear velocity diving it by 2.
The problem now is that i dont understand why it still doesnt work, do i have to change the property Assembly Linear Velocity for it to work?

This my script

while true do
    wait(0.1)
    if ball.Velocity.Magnitude > 0 then
        wait() 
        ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity = ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity/2
      end
end

I would appreciate every help i can get

note: the Assembly Linear Velocity property on the ball is 0, 0, 0

Can you do ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

Instead of changing the velocity, change the Rotational Velocity.

sorry if i took time to reply, i tried but it doesn’t work

#6

i also tried this but this doesnt work either

#7

Is the ball on a hill? Or a slope, because AssemblyLinearVelocity should work.

#8

normal pitch, no hills, all flat

#9

is it because im applying it wrongly? but assembly linear velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) seems fine (still doesnt work tho)

#10

Interesting, I’ve never heard of this. Are you doing it on the client? Try setting both the linear and rotational velocity to Vector3.zero.

#11

doing it on server side, ill try vector3.zero rn

#12

It’s not the Vector3.zero that will solve it, that’s just a shorthand, you have to change both the AssemblyAngularVelocity and AssemblyLinearVelocity, or it will keep moving.

#13

i tried that but when i spawn the ball starts to move automatically

#14

Okay, now that you’re doing both of them on the server and it’s NOT on a slope, I am completely dumbfounded. Are there any external forces acting on it?

#15

actually, theres still a bodygyro and a bodyforce that makes the ball slow a little bit, but it used to stop a lot faster as i would of create a body force on the script in the loop, but now thay they are deprecated, idk what to do

#16

Please don’t use BodyMovers, they are deprecated. Use AlignPosition in place of it, it does the same thing.

#17

the problem is that, as i use attachments on the ball, whenever the goalkeepers catch it, the ball stays like anchored meanwhile it bugs their character till it drops automatically

#18

So it’s a technical issue… I see.

Can you send a video of it? So I can understand better.

#19


had to rec from my phone as im still fixing the screen recorder from my pc, hope u can still understand from this video

#20

it shouldnt go that far as the power from that tool aint that strong and at that time the ball would have stopped before the line of the mid pitch
