Alright so, I was testing these animations for a while and when the dummy gets kicked it doesn't move at all. When I was using a "StarterCharacter" The same thing happened in which the body velocity does not move the character at all. Basically, I need the Dummy model to get kicked backwards but instead it's staying the same place, I don't really know what to do here.
What It's Supposed To Look Like
--Script
game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local bv = Instance.new('BodyVelocity')
bv.Parent = workspace.Dummy.HumanoidRootPart
bv.Velocity = workspace.Dummy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 500
bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(9999 , 9999 , 9999)
wait(.85)
bv:Destroy()
end)
--When Event Is Fired
TU.KeyframeReached:Connect(function(key)
if key == "Kick" then
CH:Stop(.3)
KI:Play(.3)
KI:AdjustSpeed(1.15)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Kick:FireServer()
local bv = Instance.new('BodyVelocity')
bv.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
bv.Velocity = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 5
bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(9999 , 9999 , 9999)
wait(.85)
bv:Destroy()
wait(2)
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end
end)
The script above works when I don't have a Custom Character but when I do the model doesn't move.
In the gif, the dummy doesn't move at all and in this code in which I tested on my default player not a "StarterCharacter" the script worked like a charm but when I added a "StarterCharacter" I didn't move. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated or advice on what to do.

What do you mean added "StarterCharacter"? Can you send us pictures of your explorer? Could you show us a recording of what you intend to do? Maybe show us the script where you fire the event
It's usually a good idea to use :WaitForChild() for items in ReplicatedStorage
That is true but the script still runs, the Dummy model just doesn't move.
"Could you show us a recording of what you intend to do? "
Yes
Couldn't you just drag the Torso/UpperTorso back with animation editor?
