I'm stuck halfway through a script, How can I make a script that moves a part?
I have planned to make something, a GUI that once clicked, shoots something. The only thing I want to make right now is a simple textbutton that says "click to shoot a ball", after that, It shoots a ball forward, and that's it.
This is the script.
LocalScript In StarterGui > ScreenGui > Textbutton
user = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
script.Parent.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TEST_SummonBal:FireServer(user)
print("oh nice you shot a ball") --Just to make sure the FireServer worked.
end)
Script in ServerScriptService
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.TEST_SummonBal.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(user)
local player = user.Character
local Root = player:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Bullet = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.BasicBullet:Clone()
local MoveScript = game.ServerStorage.MoveScript:clone() --Movescript is Disabled, by the way.
Bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
MoveScript.Parent = Bullet --To make the Moving Part Script happen.
Bullet.Position = Root.Position
MoveScript.Disabled = false
wait(3)
Bullet:Destroy()
end)
--Sidenote: "Bullet" can't collide with the player.
It all seems to work, but one thing. I don't know how to make the "MoveScript", Which must, err...
You guys remember pokemon advanced?, The attacks worked in a way that they moved forward from the player, Here's a video example of that https://youtu.be/kefQj5vew6o?t=218 (Notice Persian's PayDay attack)
That's what I want the movescript to do, However, I don't know how to make it.
You can give me a hand, right?
If you're going to be those persons and right out just post the script, AT LEAST Explain me how it works, I won't learn anything if you don't teach me.

Hey Chris75764,
Solution:
Try using the lookVector property of the CFrame and use a BodyVelocity object to make the object move forward. I wrote my own piece of code to make just a simple ball move forward after it spawns in front of the character. Here it is:
Example Code
-- Local Script under StarterGui
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- The UserInputService to detect input.
local players = game:GetService("Players") -- Players service
local player = players.LocalPlayer -- The player that the script is under.
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(obj, gp) -- Anonymous function with the input and gameProcessed event as arguments.
if obj.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not gp then -- Checks if the player pressed 'Q' and if it was pressed while typing in chat or meant to be pressed.
local part = Instance.new("Part") -- Makes a part
-- Property preferences --
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
part.Transparency = math.random()
part.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
part.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
-- Property preferences --
local char = player.Character -- The character of the player
local root = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- The HumanoidRootPart of the player
part.CFrame = root.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -3) -- Spawns the part 3 studs in front of the character's humanoid.
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") -- Makes the body velocity object.
bv.Parent = part -- Parents it to the part
bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) -- Sets its maxForce to infinity
bv.Velocity = root.CFrame.lookVector * 100 -- Makes it move forward at a speed of 100.
part.Parent = workspace -- Parents the part to workspace.
end
end)

Hope I helped and have a wonderful day/night.
Thanks,
