Basically I want the player to be launched in the direction they are facing but it always goes sideways

#

ok

#

ignore the clone.textlabel.text stuff thats just a countdown

#

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer or players.PlayerAdded:wait()

PlayerGUI = players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
        
        local Boost = Instance.new("BodyForce")
        local countdown = script.Parent.RocketBootsGUI
        local clone = countdown:Clone()
        
    repeat wait() until workspace[player.Name].Humanoid.Jump == true
    
    
    Boost.Force = Vector3.new(0, 10000, 10000)
        
        Boost.Parent = workspace[player.Name].Torso
        

    wait(3)

        
        Boost:Destroy()
        
    
        print("done")

    end)

It's fine now, I fixed it by adding this.

Boost.Force = Vector3.new(30000, 1000000, 30000) * workspace[player.Name].Torso.CFrame.LookVector
--instead of
Boost.Force = Vector3.new(30000, 1000000, 30000)

👍

#

was just what I was doing, adding a lookvector

#

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer or players.PlayerAdded:wait()
local PlayerGUI = players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui



    local Boost = Instance.new("BodyForce")


    repeat wait() until workspace[player.Name].Humanoid.Jump == true


    Boost.Force = Vector3.new(0, 10000, 10000)

    Boost.Parent = workspace[player.Name].Torso


    wait(3)


    Boost:Destroy()


    print("done")```

But I guess you don't need that anymore 🤷‍♂️
