dim tundra
I'm trying to apply a force to a part. I've tried LinearVelocity and Vector force, but those are for constant forces. I've also tried ApplyImpulse as well as directly setting the part's AssemblyLinearVelocity. The result with both of those last two is that the velocity is set, but it is immediately overcome by the force of gravity.
Picture shows the AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y of the part for each physics step (PreSimulation)
open dagger
use apply impulse

"..I've also tried ApplyImpulse.."
dim tundra
Yes, it either goes off into space or it doesnt move at all
dim tundra
also are you using debris service
no
open dagger
Yes, it either goes off into space or it doesnt move at all
sounds about right
dim tundra
not for that part anyway, why?
open dagger
depends on what youre doing
dim tundra
A fishing system
open dagger
and the hook is the thing you are applying the force to?
dim tundra
yeah basically
open dagger
ok so id suggest not using a force and instead calculating an arc and tweening it
use raycast to cast to a point in the ocean and tween the arc movement
thats what id suggest, ik its not a solution to your current issue but it would make your life easier :/
by raycasting you can also detect if the cast is aimed at a body of water too
dim tundra
Yeah i was just trying to get it to work using pure physics
dim tundra
I already have stuff in place for that
dim tundra
physics + roblox = hell
my experience so far
wild that I can't get simple physics to work
open dagger
use a sine wave and represent the target as 0° and your hooks initial position as 180°
that way you wont have to worry about gravity
dim tundra
the speed of it, if I tween it
dim tundra
I'm so bad at math, I'll try it though
open dagger
its alr its not a hard thing to do dw
dim tundra
I'm also going to need to use physics to deal with a fish pulling against a rope constraint too
open dagger
nah tween it
open dagger
itll be worth it bro
dim tundra
I need to deliver a POC of this tonight lol
open dagger
you can get it done im sure
graceful marsh
Yes, it either goes off into space or it doesnt move at all
force*assemblymass
e.g to perfectly counter the force of gravity you just do -gravity*mass
dim tundra
force*assemblymass
this is working perfectly fine when it isn't held by a character (the part in question is parented to a tool)
When the tool is parented to a character though, the part I'm applying the impulse to just falls straight down
@graceful marsh @open dagger
dim tundra
also i have no idea what you're trying to show there
on the right is the fishing rod when it's just in the workspace, I have the assemblies renderer turned on
this is just a capture of it working
(after applying an impulse)
graceful marsh
this is just a capture of it working
so if it works then what?
dim tundra
so if it works then what?
It doesn't work when a character is holding it
