Tweening the player to act like knockback

starwarsguy1602 · July 23, 2022, 9:02am

Hello, I would like to make knockback like a combat game, and I’ve heard using body velocity is a pretty good way to do it, but it doesn’t give me the effect I want, so here’s the question.

How would I make knockback that tweens the player back and the tween DOESN’T phase through walls?

I really need an example because I’ve seen pretty good combat games with knockback and it doesn’t look like they use body velocity.

Do you have a combatTOOL?

No, I am making a combat game and I’d like to make combat tweening, all I need is some example code on how I would go about making it smooth and make it not phase through a wall if it hits one.

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:16am

Oh, alright, give me a second to write the code you want

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:28am

Hey, sorry for the late reply

I’m still here if you didnt notice, i’m still working on the code you requested.
Scripters can take a long time to write code

starwarsguy1602 · July 23, 2022, 9:31am

The combat game’s attacking code took a really long while to make, it’s like 2k lines and it’s still not even finished.

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:32am

oh.

Does this need raycast?````

starwarsguy1602 · July 23, 2022, 9:33am

It might, I really don’t want the knockback tween to phase through any walls, that’d make some players stuck forever until they reset😅

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:45am

oof, sadly you gotta contact an advanced scripter to help out with this whole raycast thing
also somehow my script isn’t working, so you have to contact a advanced scripter

If you want animation help DM me.

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:45am

Wait, I think i can fix the knockback script glitched, you dont have to contact a advanced scripter.
If i cant fix it well you gotta contact a advanced scripter

starwarsguy1602 · July 23, 2022, 9:46am

Okay, but if you do fail do you know any advanced scripters I can ask?

JustAGameDeveloper1 · July 23, 2022, 9:49am

The only i know are

MetaDevv
wedge

Already failed

Just dont spam them or you’ll get a 0% chance of creating your effect

You can showcase your combat system to me if you like when it’s finished!

I messaged MetaDevv, and he gave me a working script, thanks a lot.

u can use this module if u want to make some easy knockback

github.com

Ic35k/Knockback-Module/blob/main/Knockback_Module.lua

--//Made By Ic35k_Jason

local ApplyKnockBack = {}
ApplyKnockBack.__index = ApplyKnockBack

function ApplyKnockBack.new(EnemyCharacter: Model,Character: Model,Range: number,Height: number)
    local self = setmetatable({
        _EnemyCharacter = EnemyCharacter;
        _Character = Character;
        _Range = Range;
        _Height = Height;
    },ApplyKnockBack)

    return self
end

function ApplyKnockBack:CalculateMass(Model: Model)
    assert(Model and Model:IsA("Model"),"Type[Model] Argument Must Be Model!")
    local TotalMass = 0;
    for _,Values in pairs(Model:GetDescendants()) do

The topic got solved, but this might be another solution

Zenqpa · July 24, 2022, 5:45am
