So i have this part of my shooting code

pcall(function()
					if hit.Parent:IsA("Model") then
						hit.Parent.PrimaryPart.Velocity = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.LookVector * 12
					end
				end)

that knockbacks the character a bit when shooting at him the thing is when i shoot at the character it doesnt work (and when not using pcall it doesnt give errors) but after pushing the character a while it starts working and i have no idea why here a video about it

External Media

Edit: this code runs inside a module that runs the hit detection locally i believe

Haven’t seen the video but you can use LinearVelocity or BodyVelocity instance instead.

Also I wouldn’t do hit detections locally because it’s easily exploitable, however the issue could be that it doesn’t detect the hit object at all.

It does since it sends the the damaging re to the srv and damages it correctly also i alr tried that and didnt work

That’s strange, have you tried debugging it with print? Maybe print the hit.Parent

#5

Haven’t tested it yet, however it could be because of Network Ownership. Does the rig happen to freeze in place whenever you get close?

yeah it happens sometimes he even falls without touching him etc

Try setting the Network Ownership to nil or to the player? Hope this fixes it!

Sorry for replying so late! For some reason I don’t get notified. Anyways the code is :SetNetworkOwner(nil).

Pretty sure you have to use a for loop to get the baseparts of the rig.
