What is MaxForce exactly doing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey everyone!

First give me an good explanation about MaxForce

everyone does script something else if we look up to MaxForce

Some people use

Vector3.new(1000,0, 1000)

some

Vector3.new(9999000,0, 999000)

why should I not do:
Vector3.new(9,0, 9)

and what can be the consequence for doing
Vector3.new(9,0, 9)?

Please explanation

MaxForce limits the amount of force that’s applied to the part depending on what its Velocity property is assigned as

Say if I put this low number for a BodyVelocity:

script.Parent.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(50, 50, 50)

This number would be too weak, since the MaxForce isn’t that high and would probably result in the part moving like 0.5 studs at best before falling down on the ground

But having a high number instead:

script.Parent.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(100000, 1000000, 100000)

This would set the BodyVelocity’s MaxForce to a high number, which would more than likely result as the part “floating” & moving dependant on the Velocity property

I also believe the MaxForce depends on the Total Mass of your Part you want to move

Basically: MaxForce determines the power of the Velocity property

  • If the number is too low, the power is weak which would result in the part falling

  • If the number is too high, the power would maintain stable & allow the part to stay floating
