Yo guys, it’s been a while. I hope y’all are fine.
If i come today, it is about a sprcial weapon. I am thinking on doing a Whip but actually, i am not really sure how to do it. Anyone has a line idea how to do it?
I would use a rope constraint to link multiple parts and then use body velocity to move it but i don’t think it would be clean enough.
A whip seems pretty difficult actually. I think that Roblox physics would bug out if you tried chaining a bunch of parts together with ropes or loose joints, so I’d rule that out. You might be able to fake the desired effect depending on what you are trying to do with the whip.
The whip should be similar to the item we know. My idea is, using your arm would create waves with the rope/string and dealing damages once it hit. Ofc i do know how to deal damages yet.
I would like to do something waving or similar to this:
If you want to do the waving, I think you should just animate the whip itself. It gives the illusion that its an actual whip. Plus, there aren’t any physics that Roblox should calculate, giving you less lag and bugs. Looks more clean if animated properly too.
So making the whip with a humanoid and animations?
Maybe, there might be other ways to do it that I don’t know of. I don’t know if it can be done using Motor6Ds. But check these links. I hope they give you an idea or anything.

I am so sorry if I didn’t answer your questions correctly. I am not a professional or anything. If you manage to make a cool and working whip, you are amazing.
Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think i could do the whip with this methode. I was wondering these days how to properly animate meshing animals too and i found a possible way: Animate them onto Blender 3d and importe the animations on roblox studio. If i can animate beasts, i probably can animate whips which should move like a snake
How about using beams and tween the curves?
It would require too much maths and trajectory simulations. My best try would be animating it through roblox or blender 3D
