What would be the best way to make a fireball "move"?

Hi DevForum,

I’m currently scripting a sort of “fireball” attack, and I’m currently stuck on the movement part of it. What would be the best way to get it moving from its origin to its endpoint?

I was thinking I could use movement systems such as BodyVelocity (not the best because of occasional “stutters”), RunService.Heartbeat, etc.

Feedback is appreciated!

You can use TweenService.
If you don’t now what this is, it is a Roblox API that can be used to smoothly move one value to another. An example of this would be moving the position of a part to another position smoothly. This could be used for your fireball. Documentation: TweenService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Thanks for your reply,

I do see what you’re saying, however TweenService will scale the further the endpoint is from the origin. In other words, the fireball will move quicker if the endpoint is further. I ended up using RunService.Renderstepped, and incorporated DeltaTime into the speed of the fireball.
