Is it possible to use BodyVelocity to drag a player towards a part continuously?
I want to bring a player towards a part using BodyVelocity when E is held, but when the player actually reaches the part, it keeps going forward forever. I have fixed it once by destroying the BodyVelocity once it reaches, but that's not what I'm after. I'm thinking if it is possible for the player to continue moving towards the part even when it reaches so that the player doesn't just fall to the ground if the part is floating. This is my script so far
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") local Part = workspace.Part local moveSpeed = 50 local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") local Direction = (humanoidRootPart.Position - Part.Position).Unit UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then EHeld = true local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", humanoidRootPart) bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(999999, 999999, 999999) bodyVelocity.P = 50000 bodyVelocity.Velocity = -Direction * moveSpeed UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input) if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then bodyVelocity:Destroy() end end) end end)

Try LineForce A LineForce is used to apply a force along a line between two points. As the end points of the line move, the direction of the force will change accordingly. this simple script will move a part near Part2 Position until its near it then it will stop
local Part = script.Parent.Part2
local Part2 = script.Parent.Part1
local LineF = Part.LineForce
while task.wait() do
local Dist = (Part.Position-Part2.Position).Magnitude
print(Dist)
if Dist < 10 then
Part.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) --stops it
LineF.Magnitude = 0
else
LineF.Magnitude = 500
end
end
Full script Hold E and jump to fly torwards the part
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Part = workspace.Part -- the only thing you need to change
local LineF = nil
local moveSpeed = 10
local Holding = false
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Con
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
Holding = true
print(":(")
local Direction = (humanoidRootPart.Position - Part.Position).Unit
local LineF = Instance.new("LineForce")
local Attach1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
local Attach2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
Attach1.Parent = humanoidRootPart
Attach2.Parent = Part
LineF.Attachment0 = Attach1
LineF.Attachment1 = Attach2
LineF.Magnitude = 500*moveSpeed
LineF.Parent = humanoidRootPart
Con = UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
Holding = false
Attach1:Destroy()
Attach2:Destroy()
LineF:Destroy()
Con:Disconnect()
end
end)
end
end)
while Holding do
task.wait()
if LineF then
local Dist = (Part.Position-humanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
print(Dist)
if Dist < 10 then
Part.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) --stops it
LineF.Magnitude = 0
end
end
end
