What do you want to achieve?
~ I want the tool to land on the floor after being thrown. -
What is the issue?
~ The tool falls straight through the floor. -
What solutions have you tried so far?
~ Google/DevForum/ChatGPT couldn’t find any answers.
So here is the Script in ServerScriptService
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
-- Create the RemoteEvent if it doesn't exist
local throwEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("ThrowEvent")
if not throwEvent then
throwEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
throwEvent.Name = "ThrowEvent"
throwEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
end
local GRAVITY = Vector3.new(0, -196.2, 0)
throwEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, tool, throwPosition, initialVelocity)
local character = player.Character
if not character or not tool:IsDescendantOf(character) then return end
-- Create a clone of the tool to throw
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if not handle then return end
local thrownTool = handle:Clone()
thrownTool.Parent = workspace
thrownTool.CFrame = CFrame.new(throwPosition)
-- Apply initial velocity to simulate the throw
local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bodyVelocity.Velocity = initialVelocity
bodyVelocity.P = 5000 -- Power of the force
bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000, 5000, 5000) -- Maximum force that can be applied
bodyVelocity.Parent = thrownTool
-- Apply gravity to the object
local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
bodyForce.Force = GRAVITY * thrownTool:GetMass()
bodyForce.Parent = thrownTool
-- Remove BodyVelocity after some time to allow natural fall
game.Debris:AddItem(bodyVelocity, 0.5)
-- Cleanup after some time
game.Debris:AddItem(thrownTool, 35)
end)
And here is the Local Script inside the tool…
-- LocalScript inside the tool
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent
local throwEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ThrowEvent")
local function onActivated()
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local handle = tool.Handle
-- Define the desired mass in kilograms
local desiredMass = 5
-- Get the current mass of the handle
local currentMass = handle:GetMass()
-- Calculate the density required to achieve the desired mass
local density = desiredMass / currentMass
-- Set the custom physical properties with desired density
handle.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(density, 0.3, 1, 0.3, 1)
-- Calculate the direction and initial position for the throw
local throwDirection = (mouse.Hit.p - humanoidRootPart.Position).unit
local throwPosition = humanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0) -- Adjust the throw start position
local throwSpeed = 45 -- Speed of the throw
-- Calculate the initial velocity based on direction and speed
local initialVelocity = throwDirection * throwSpeed + Vector3.new(0, 30, 0) -- Add vertical component
-- Fire the event to the server to handle the actual throw
throwEvent:FireServer(tool, throwPosition, initialVelocity)
end
tool.Activated:Connect(onActivated)
The setup of the tool in the explorer (Starterpack) is:
Tool
- ToolScript
- Handle
That’s it. Nothing inside the handle or anywhere else.
The tool has CanCollide and CanTouch both True.
Massless is also True although it was false initially, so changing that hasn’t helped.
Nothing else is falling through the Terrain.
So why does it disappear through the floor???
