if you also know the math to make something go forwards, that would be appreciated (if thats necessary)
#whats the word / function to give an unanchored part force so it moves in a direction?

I assume you want to use roblox physics?
Insert an attachment to the BasePart you want to move forward
Insert a LinearVelocity Instance also to the BasePart and set its following properties:
Set RelativeTo to Attachment0
Set VelocityConstraintMode to Line
Set Attachment0 to the attachment you created
And then fiddle with the other properties until satisfied. Make sure the attachment is facing the correct direction too.

yeah i do i think
elder wind
Here's a part that has this example
supple magnet
thanks bro
elder wind
Np my man. hope you found what you're looking for 🤝
supple magnet
im trying to make a kick door kinda thing if you were curious
so plays an animation after hitting a key then the door unanchors and moves
elder wind
ah
supple magnet
while you're here @elder wind do you know how i can define the player character in a server script
i cant find a single tutorial on devforum or youtube that tells me somehow
elder wind
There are a few ways of going about it
What will be your use-case?
supple magnet
to uh
get the character and when it touches a specific invisible hitbox i can then run a findfirsthumanoidwhichisa check
to then allow a keybind to work
i think?
im not a good scripter mind i only recently got the hang of very basic scripting
elder wind
All good, let me whip up an example
supple magnet
we can go in dms if you want but if you'd rather stay here thats all good
elder wind
Server Script
local HitboxThing = game.Workspace.HitBoxThing
HitboxThing.touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if not Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then return end -- If it's not/there is no humanoid, then end function
local Character = Hit.Parent
local Plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) -- Get Player Instance from their Character Model
if not Plr then return end -- If it's not/there is no Player, then end function
-- Do whatever you want from here since Character is now confirmed to be a Player's character.
end)

aight
ok thanks man
can i add you
im tryna add people that can script to just get better yk
i figured surrounding myself in people who can script would be beneficial
not just cuz they can script tho, most scripters are really chill people
elder wind
That's a pretty neat idea lol, sure thing!
