Enemy knockback script doesn't work when I add wait(1)?

Asked 153 views1 answers

Hi. I'm trying to make the enemy push back the player. But for some reason whenever I add wait(1) it just stops working. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Here's the enemy knockback script:

part = script.Parent
local h 

function onTouch(hit)
	h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if h ~= nil then
		hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = part.CFrame.lookVector * 100
	end
end
part.Touched:connect(onTouch)

With wait(1):

part = script.Parent
local h 

function onTouch(hit)
	h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if h ~= nil then	
		wait(1)
		hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = part.CFrame.lookVector * 100
	end
end
part.Touched:connect(onTouch)

You can use this function to set the velocity:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

function SetVelocity(part, velocity)
	for i=1, 2 do
		RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
		part.Velocity = velocity
	end
end

--[[ for more details on why this works, see https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-can-i-put-velocity-on-a-humanoid/337253 ]]

you could also add some kind of debounce since it could knockback the player more than once because of the wait(1).
