How do you add Velocity to a bullet?
I have made a basic gun and so far, i can spawn a little bullet of random color, but no matter what i do, I cannot make this bullet have any velocity to it. I have tried looking at many different guides and tutorials to no success, much help is appreciated. Here is the script:
local Tool = script.Parent
local debounce = false
Tool.Equipped:connect(function(Mouse)
01 | Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() |
02 |
03 |
04 | print("Firing") |
05 |
06 |
07 | local bullet = Instance.new("Part") |
08 |
09 |
10 | bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.10,0.2,0.2) |
11 |
12 |
13 | bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor:random() |
14 |
15 |

just do bullet.Velocity = Vector3.new(putSomethingHere) theCJarmy7 1293 — 9y

Thank you sir, I have looked at so many guides and i think i was getting confused with velocity and mouse direction, mouse cframe and all that. After a week of working on this, my gun finally works so I thank you so much for sending me this. :P Sparkflyer34 40 — 9y

01 | Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() |
02 | print("Firing!") |
03 | local bullet = Instance.new("Part", workspace) --Creates the instance in workspace |
04 | bullet.Size = Vector3.new(.1, .2, .2) --The same size you wanted just made more simpler |
05 | bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor:random() |
06 | local pos = Tool:WaitForChild("Barrel").Position --Added WaitForChild so it won't run script without loading this! |
07 | local focus = mouse.Hit.p |
08 | bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos, focus) --CFrame is more efficient than Position |
09 | bullet.CFrame = bullet.CFrame + bullet.CFrame.lookVector * 5 -- Get's the way the tool is facing and creates the bullet in front it. you can change number for how far you want the bullet to be when it is created |
10 | local v = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",bullet) |
11 | v.Velocity = bullet.CFrame.lookVector * 500 --Change to whatever number you want(how fast you want it) |
12 | v.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) |
13 | end) |
Hope this works out for you. You can change the the numbers around to suit your needs.

Tried the script, had to tweak it a bit. Didn't have a local for Tool and needed a function for tool.equipped, but once I added those in the script, it worked like a charm and i absolutely love it! I have so much control of the bullet, how it is , how fast it goes, where it spawns etc. Thank you so much for this script, I can now finish my very first gun! :D Sparkflyer34 40 — 9y
