Is there a way to use body velocity to push a person upward?

[prisma totem]

Im following a tutorial on how to make a combat system on roblox, and im trying to make it so you can launch people with the first hit of a M1 combo. I was able to get the BV working for knockback on the final hit, but i dont know how to edit it so i could make what im trying to on the first one. Thoughts would be appriceated!

Code:

local BV3 = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
            BV3.MaxForce, BV3.Velocity = Vector3.new(5e4, 5e2, 5e4), plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 10
            BV3.Parent = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart    
            game.Debris:AddItem(BV3, 0.16)

bodyvelocity is deprecated

[prisma totem]

What was it replaced with

[dusty dome]

Linear velocity

But there is a way to push upward u gotta learn how to use them

[prisma totem]

How would i go about replacing them? I cant find any way how

[dusty dome]

Prob change the vector velocity or the maxforce im not sure the name

[unique abyss]

just assign the force of the linear velocity to the LookVector of the HumanoidRootPart and multiply it to push the person stronger

linearVelocity.Velocity = (char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 50)
-- change the 50 by whatever you want

Im a very early beginner, how would i go about implementing this?

[unique abyss]

just use a localscript

[prisma totem]

Forgive me, im lost. Do i have to replace the body velocity script with a linear velocity one for that to work? if so i would really like to see a example

BodyVelocity and LinearVelocity are the same thing, but BodyVelocity is depracted (mean you should use the new instance), so replace it with LinearVelocity

local linearVelocity = Instance.new("LinearVelocity")
linearVelocity.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart -- Char = Player's character
linearVelocity.VelocityConstraintMode = Enum.VelocityConstraintMode.Vector
linearVelocity.VectorVelocity = char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector -- LookVector mean the direction he's looking at with a Vector3

i don't know if the script work, because i writed it on discord

Tested this, I couldn’t get it to work properly.

I think it’s the right direct though

I’m just getting return to nil errors

[prisma totem]

Got it working!

But i cant make it go uo
