LookVector not facing forward?

Asked 256 views1 answers

I'm making a tool where if you hit someone, the player who got hit would be sent in the opposite direction, but it's sending the player sideways. Here's the code:

local handle = script.Parent.Handle
local db = true

handle.Touched:Connect(function(plrhit)
	if plrhit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and db == true then
		db = false
		local BodyAng = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		BodyAng.Velocity = Vector3.new(handle.CFrame.LookVector.X * 20,handle.CFrame.LookVector.Y * 20,handle.CFrame.LookVector.Z * 20)
		BodyAng.MaxForce = Vector3.new(500000,500000,500000)
		BodyAng.Parent = plrhit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
		wait(2)
		db = true
		plrhit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
	end
end)

Any help would be appreciated!

The problem is that you are using the handle's CFrame instead of the Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart's one.

This code would fix it:

local handle = script.Parent.Handle
local character = -- here you get the character of the tool user, you should know how
local db = true

handle.Touched:Connect(
    function(plrhit)
        if not plrhit.Parent.Humanoid or not db then
            return
        end

        db = false
        local BodyAng = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
        BodyAng.Velocity = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 20
        BodyAng.MaxForce = Vector3.new(500000, 500000, 500000)
        BodyAng.Parent = plrhit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
        wait(2)
        db = true
        plrhit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
    end
)

If is it helpful, please accept the answer :) I'm glad to help!
