Velocity Stays After Anchoring

I have a ball that you can launch using a 3D Gui element, the ball is launched when the “launch” button is pressed. Here is the remote event fired when the button is activated.

local rS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fireEvent = rS:FindFirstChild("BallFire")
local bodyGyr = game.Workspace.Part.BodyGyro
local bodyFor = game.Workspace.Part.BodyForce

fireEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Vector, velocity)
	print("fired!")
	print(player)
	print(Vector)
	bodyFor.Parent.Anchored = false
	bodyGyr.CFrame = bodyFor.Parent.CFrame
	print(velocity)
	bodyFor.Force = Vector3.new(-Vector.x * velocity*3, -Vector.y * velocity*3, -Vector.z * velocity*3)
	wait(0.1)
	bodyFor.Force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
end)

Then, if the player wants to refire the ball, there is a cancel button that resets the position and anchors it again.

local rS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fireEvent = rS:FindFirstChild("ResetFire")
local ball = game.Workspace.Part
local ballPos = ball.Position

fireEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	ball.Position = ballPos
	ball.Anchored = true
	game.Workspace.arrow.Position = ballPos
	print("reset")
	buul.Value = false
end)

The problem is when the ball is fired next, the ball’s velocity from when the player hit reset compounds with the new velocity and direction they have already chose.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can reset the velocity before it’s fired or after it’s reset by setting it:

ball.Velocity = Vector3.new()

That work perfectly, thank you so much!
