Need help, projectile script falls ontop of me not sure why?
My projectile script shoots a shadow ball thingy to the mouse, the mousepos is fired over from a localscript. It works well but sometimes it just falls on your head? help appreciated.

local shadow = game.ServerStorage.MAGICKS:WaitForChild("Shadow")
local shadowDMG = 60
game.ReplicatedStorage.shadowService.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mouse, origin)
local character = player.Character
local newShadow = shadow:Clone()
newShadow.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
local shadowVelocity = Instance.new("BodyForce")
shadowVelocity.Force = (mouse.Position)
shadowVelocity.Parent = newShadow
newShadow.Parent = workspace
local touchCon
touchCon = newShadow.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - shadowDMG
if touchCon ~= nil then touchCon:Disconnect() end
newShadow:Destroy()
end
end
end)
wait(4)
if touchCon ~= nil then touchCon:Disconnect() end
newShadow:Destroy()
end)

The force of your shadowVelocity should be the direction from either the character to the mouse position or the camera to the mouse position (your choice). This would be done like so...
local POWER = 10 local character = LocalPlayer.Character local force = (mouse.Hit.Position - character.PrimaryPart.Position).Unit * POWER
or
local POWER = 10 local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera local force = (mouse.Hit.Position - camera.CFrame.Position).Unit * POWER
The (pos1 - pos2).Unit gets a unit vector that points in the direction of pos2 to pos1. This vector is very small, so to make it a usable force you would want to add a scalar (power) to it.

So instead of starting the shadow from the humaniod root part cframe, I started it from the character primary part position. I tried using the subtraction thingy with the force but it made it so it always fell of your head i tried boosting the unit power up but still to no avail tjp8765 0 — 3y
