BodyForce

Supported Class Animation & Avatar Deprecated in Roblox Deprecated PreferredDescriptorName ThreadSafety

Applies a constant force to an object.

Description

The BodyForce object applies (or exerts) a force on the assembly to which it is parented. If the magnitude of such a force is great enough, assemblies can begin to accelerate. The force is determined by the Force property, and is defined on the three world axes.

A BodyForce alone cannot apply a torque (it cannot cause the parent to rotate on its own). To apply a force at a specific point or apply forces relative to the orientation of the assembly, use a BodyThrust instead.
