How should i approach consistent body movers for my character

[empty hornet]

I know the title is kinda wack but I mean knock back for pvp games or combat moves like in strongest battlegrounds where I can push the character in the air and slam the character back down without it flinging or launching the character up then down in a arc or curve

To get to the point I’m not asking for a script or anything like that I just want to know how I can move my characters or objects in a controlled way

(I picked those tags because I couldn’t think any better ones sorry in advance if they’re wrong)

Ask me anything this whole paragraph probably makes no sense

If you just want to push the player in the air and then slam them down i think a normal animation should do

[scenic blaze]

But if you mean like pure knockback without flinging then Changing the HumanoidRootParts position with the RunService is maybe also a choice

I never really made a Battlegrounds game so these are just ideas

[empty hornet]

I gotcha I think that’s a good idea with run service I never would have thought of that thank you

[scenic blaze]

Np. Good luck with your game

Thanks 🙏

you can also do velocities and assemblylinearforce or whatever its called on the humanoid

runservice is better but you're gonna have to do calculations

I’ve never been a big math guy but I’m 100% going to try when I get home
