Way to move non humanoid

What would be the best way to move a non humanoid to the player? bodyvelocity?

#2

BodyVelocity is one way, but you can also try Lerping the CFrame. Maybe weld/constraint it to one middle piece and lerp that.

#3

oh yeah i def have a middle piece object in mind, it’s just that if i want to move this object i need it to have it fall. so idk if lerping the cframe will work

#4

Actually, I’ve done something similar to what you are mentioning. Here is what I had :

function ControlModule:UpdateMovement(inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Cancel then -- Stopped Moving
		self.MoveVector = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	else
		self.MoveVector = Vector3.new(self.RightValue - self.LeftValue, 0, 0)
	end	
end	

function ControlModule:OnRenderStepped(delta)
	if self.Humanoid and self.Center then
		self.Center.BodyVelocity.Velocity = self.MoveVector	
		while self.DownValue do
			self.WSPChar.L.BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0,-300,0) 
			self.WSPChar.HumanoidRootPart.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0,3000,0)
			self.WSPChar.LL1.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0,3000,0)
			self.WSPChar.LR1.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(0,3000,0)
			wait(0.1)
			self.WSPChar.L.BodyForce.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
			self.WSPChar.HumanoidRootPart.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(3200,3000,3200)
			self.WSPChar.LL1.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(10000, 3000, 10000)
			self.WSPChar.LR1.BodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(10000, 3000, 10000)
		end
	end
end

ah,
so what do you recommend i use? bodyforce then?

#6

Yeah, BodyForce would work great. It’ll just take a bit of tinkering to figure out how much force to apply.

#7

ah alright, would it require doing anything like cframe? or should i just set the bodyforce’s position to the characters

#8

The direction your Character would move would be based on the Force. Which is a Vector3.

Ex.

Force = Vector3.new(0,300,0)  # Would make the Character go UP
Force = Vector3.new(300,0,0) # Would make the Character increase based on the X axis

The BodyForce itself would be in the Character. And when the Force is (0,0,0) the Character would be stationary.

#9

oh no forgot to elaborate, the non-humanoid i’m talking about isn’t the player, but an enemy, should i set it to the player’s position?

#10

I’m a bit confused myself now. The Force is relative to it’s Ancestor. It doesn’t need a set position. It simply applies a force in whatever direction it is set to. So I’d assume you’d just set it to the enemies position?

#11

ah, then i think, if it’s going to a direction it’s set to, i could prob use the player’s pos

#12

Uh, yeah, sure…? Are you setting the Enemy to the Players Position or the Force…?

#13

the force, sorry if my wording is bad, it’s late where i am

#14

bodymovers,Cframing,Tweening [spoiler]

[/spoiler]

#15

I don’t think you would need to set a Location. It should already be relative to it’s Ancestor/Parent.

#16

alright, i think i got a good idea on what i should do, despite my bad wording. thank you
