I created (supposedly) a player launcher. It doesn't work though. What's the problem?
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local parent = part.Parent
local humanPart = parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(parent.Name)
if humanPart and plr then
humanPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 10000, 0)
print(humanPart.Velocity)
end
end)
the script's Parent is a part named "launcher" in Workspace.
I don't think you have to change velocity. Instead, use BodyForce:
local alreadyhit = false -- setting a variable that will work as debounce
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if alreadyhit == false then -- checking if that variable is false, then
alreadyhit = true -- making it true, so it doesnt repeats
local char = part.Parent -- getting char
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char) -- getting player
if player and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then -- if player exists then
local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bv.Parent = char.LowerTorso
bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
bv.P = 25000
bv.Velocity = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.upVector * 100
-- this creates a bodyvelocity which maxforce is inf, the "P" is 25000, and that will make the player go up. How? It takes the humanoidrootpart upVector, like the y axis, and it multiplys that value by 100.
game.Debris:AddItem(bv, 2) -- deletes the body velocity after 2 seconds
alreadyhit = false -- set the variable to false so it can work again
end
end
end)
This will throw the player up. I tell you this because I got problems changing velocity, so I recommend using Body Force. Hope I helped.
didnt work.
Could you show me your current script?
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part) local parent = part.Parent local humanPart = parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent) -- Ok then. if humanPart and plr then local bF = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", humanPart) bF.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 100, 0) bF.P = 25000 bF.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 100, 0) wait(2) bF:Destr
I saw the problem, I edited my before answer, Use it and tell me if it works. Hope I helped, again.
It worked. Could you edit your answer to where you have comments in your script that explain what the script does?
There, edited, No problem.

You can instead do "game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(parent)" for line 4. It's quite literally the same thing, only simpler.
thx. i really need to start tinkering with the events you can do with the Players object in studio.
the script does print out the velocity after increasing it. it was increased, but my player isnt launched. what does this mean?
