[Help] I’m wondering how to add knock back to my game in my platformer? I want to so that my shotgun will give the player a massive knock back and will launch the player, this will be your way of jumping. I want to know how will this be possible, i want it so that when you go flying the speed wil…

I would say it helps [Desktop 2025.01.08 - 21.58.09.02] but when the gun is facing certain points it goes into the direction that I don’t want it to go? Do you know a fix on this?

Instead of checking the horizontally flipped status, check whether the cursor is to the left or right of the player, and apply the force accordingly.

thank you! here is what I have for the code! [image]

Since you already have the angle of the shotgun, why not just apply force in the opposite direction (i.e. shotgun.angle + 180)

the only problem is that If i were to shoot an object that is directly under me (180 deg) it wouldn’t go as high if i shot at 250 deg, I’m trying to re work it so that depending where you shoot the shotgun would determine how high or how far you would travel

I’m not sure what you mean, my suggestion is to apply force opposite from the firing angle, which will always be (angle +/- 180). If this is done with basic Newtonian math then firing straight down will give you the highest jump, and firing down at a 45 degree angle will give you the longest jump. T…
