Please include the code which you are trying to use, so the community will be better-equipped to help you with your problem.

So basically I want to force a player to move in the direction their HumanoidRootPart is facing.

I tried doing a few things and every time it would go a random direction or just stop working at one point.

I tried using the lookVector of the HumanoidRootPart and it didn't work.

I want it to move forward forever RequiredModule 38 — 6y

You can force the character to move using the :MoveTo() function of Humanoids. If you place a part in front of the player, you can force them to continuously move by welding it (the part will be at a fixed offset) and setting the player to move to the part continuously.

Example Script

01game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
02    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
03        local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
04        local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
05 
06        local part = Instance.new("Part")
07        part.Name = "FollowMe"
08        part.Anchored = false
09        part.CanCollide = false
10        part.Transparency = 1
11        part.Parent = Character
12 
13        local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
14        weld.Parent = part
15        weld.Part1 = part
16        weld.Part0 = Root
17        weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, -10)
18 
19        repeat
20            Humanoid:MoveTo(part.Position)
21            wait()
22        until nil
23    end)
24end)

This however doesn't prevent the player from unbinding the movement themselves, but the loop will prevent them from effectively stopping walking.
