Rocket Propulsion Script help?
I have a mesh Jet and i put a rocket propulsion script inside of it and i set a target brick about 50 yards away so that the Jet would go to it but nope, the jet just jumps a little bit off the ground every 2 seconds getting a little closer but that's not what i want. I want it to fly towards it, not inch towards it. Here is my script, please help!
I want the Jet to fly towards the target
1 | local rp=Instance.new("RocketPropulsion") |
2 | rp.Parent=script.Parent |
3 | rp.MaxSpeed=10000 |
4 | rp.MaxTorque=Vector3.new(10000000,10000000,10000000) |
5 | rp.Target=workspace.Target |
6 | rp:fire() |

You should increase the MaxThrust and ThrustP properties aquathorn321 858 — 9y

It's moving ridiculously slow because the force of gravity (196.2 studs/sec) is probably much stronger than the pushing force. Considering putting in a bodyforce to counter its gravity, or otherwise get it to lift off the ground.
The exact formula for 0 gravity is this:
1 | bodyforce.force = Vector3.new(0, part.Size.X * part.Size.Y * part.Size.Z * 196.2, 0) |
And the finished script should look something like this:
1 | local rp=Instance.new("RocketPropulsion") |
2 | rp.Parent=script.Parent |
3 | rp.MaxSpeed=10000 |
4 | rp.MaxTorque=Vector3.new(10000000,10000000,10000000) |
5 | rp.Target=workspace.Target |
6 | local bf = Instance.new('BodyForce', script.Parent) |
7 | bf.force = Vector3.new(0, part.Size.X * part.Size.Y * part.Size.Z * 196.2, 0) |
8 | rp:fire() |

Because you're A. allowing it to move up on the Y axis because the MaxTorque has 10000000 Y, and B. You're not setting the P property to something higher (controls how aggressively the RP tries to reach its target) drew1017 330 — 9y
