I have my own gun script, and I want a shell to eject out of the gun after firing a bullet. I have a script mostly working, but instead of ejecting it, it just kind of drops it onto the ground.

I took a look at Velocity on the wiki, but I'm not quite sure to use it. Any of you mind explaining that or if there's a better way to explain that?

--Eject a shell from a gun
local function onEjectShell(tool, count)
	--Create shell
	local shell = script.Shell:Clone()
	shell.Parent = tool
	
	--Eject shell
	shell.Position = tool.ejector.Position
	shell.Orientation = tool.ejector.Orientation
	
	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(shell, 300)
end

I don't think velolcity is that hard to understand https://www.google.com/search?q=define+velocity

I've taken physics, I understand it. I don't understand how ROBLOX does it with Vector3.

I see two options here, BodyMovers, and Manually CFraming it.

@craft manually* ;) @gitrog You'd want to make the Vector3 be the direction the part is moving in. The bigger the numbers, the higher the velocity.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to use velocity to make the direction it fires out relative to the ejector. I always want it to fire out of the right side of the gun, no matter what direction it's facing, which is what I'm not quite sure how to do.
