tool not adding bodyvelocity to the player

[lean comet]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
        local torso = mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso")
        local root = mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        local myRoot = tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        if torso or root then
            print("Player")
            torso.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true
            local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
            local delta = myRoot.CFrame.lookVector + Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
            bv.maxForce = Vector3.new(1e10, 1e10, 1e10)
            bv.velocity = delta.unit * 150
            bv.Parent = torso    

            game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(bv, 0.4)
            print("bodyvelocity")

        end
    end)


end)

for some reason when i target a player with my mouse it prints player and bodyvelocity but it doesnt do anything (it only applies bodyvelocity and sit to dummies but not on players)

Cuz its local

i tried with normal script and it didnt do anything

[north reef]

yea cuz they dont work in tools. what you gotta do is make a remote event

[lean comet]

where do i put the script then?

[north reef]

keep the local script as it is

but make the server script handle the body velocity

and place the server script in server script service

[lean comet]

where do i place the remote?

[lean comet]

I dont know which method i should use

[lean comet]

and how do i tell the script that i want it to add bodyvelocity to the player i clicked?

[north reef]

do you know any scripting?

[north reef]

arguments passed through the remote event

[north reef]

rs

[north reef]

RemoteEvent:FireServer(PlayerToAddBodyVelocityTo) on local and RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerWhoUsedTool, PlayerToAddBodyVelocityTo) on server

[lean comet]

yes

[lean comet]

i made this one

it worked

thanks

last question do you know how to reduce the distance between my mouse and the player? I can click it from afar and I don't want that

[north reef]

Get the distance between em? Sure
