AssemblyLinearVelocity acting weird and not working for seemingly no reason

[violet nymph]

Can't seem to find anything wrong

Can you print the velocity in a loop to see if it actually changes?

Is the script running?

[rich acorn]

sorry its hard for me to read on phone. are you changing the velocity on the server or client

[violet nymph]

Ok

[rich acorn]

you cant do that since the client owns themselves

youll need to either use a remote event or set the network owner to the server for a brief time when you set velocity

you can test it, im fairly certain tho

[violet nymph]

Wasn't it working from the command line

Are you using the developer console or the studio command line

I'm sure that runs in the client not on the server unless you switch

🤔

If it didn't work in the console, it doesn't work on server you might need to fire a remote like Fevo said

[rich acorn]

or setnetworkowner the character to nil or something for a few seconds

[violet nymph]

Or do that yeah it should be easy to find the solution once you have figured out the problem

Network ownership basically means which player is responsible for physics on a part

Every player is responsible for their own characters physics so only they can change it

Setting it to nil makes it so the server owns the character which allows the server to change it's assembly linear velocity

That would work yes

I guess so, try it out

Using bindable events

But that's very exploitable

You need to perform the checks on the server that the character was actually hit
