Im trying to use BodyVelocity to move a brick from the starting position to the target (I need to use bodyvelocity, I can't use body positioning or rocket propulsion for this)
But does anybody know the mathematics involved to calculate the velocity?
So if my starting position is Vector3.new(84.146, 3.175, -41.716)
and my target is Vector3.new(0.267, 7.535, 213.184)
and my maxforce is Vector3.new(4e+006,0,4e+006)
does anybody know how to get the velocity to make the brick move to the target?
We don't have all the information. How fast do you want it to get from point A to point B? Once you decide that, you can plug it into the equation for velocity, which is really simple.
velocity = distance / time
Where distance is the distance between your two Vector3s:
distance = (pointA.Position - pointB.Position).magnitude
thank you but the velocity in BodyVelocity is an actual Vector3 so how would Velocity = Distance / 2 get a vector3? O_o
For an easy solution, try calculating the velocity in each of the three dimensions (x, y, and z), and apply the velocity individually at the same time
thanks

Velocity is more of a physics thing, not math... From what I know it is ((final point - original point) / time) so I would say your target is final, your starting is original and your MaxForce is time, I am not sure how to get the velocity from this though, not sure though
