Recently, a change was made to better support forces on Humanoids and as a result, we reduced the horizontal (in the X-Z plane) drag to allow characters to move more realistically when a force is applied to them.

Unfortunately, this change also uncovered a bug that exists in some of the sword scripts that causes the lunge motion to pause all horizontal movement. While this does not prevent the sword from working, it does change the way it moves.

A simple change will fix this issue and we will be working to fix some of the scripts of the swords that were created by ROBLOX. If you have copied or inserted swords in your game, you can modify the sword script by adding a new line into the base script as here:


force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
force.velocity = Vector3.new(0,10,0)

force.maxForce = Vector3.new(0,4000,0) -- ADD THIS TO FIX MOMENTUM BUG

force.Parent = Tool.Parent.Torso


These changes will likely be enabled on live very soon. Here is a link to the current wiki article: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Sword_lunge_change

Thanks and stay awesome!

Aww, this needs to be fixed. There's so many games that use a ROBLOX Weapon LinkedSword.

I know, but unskilled scripters don't know that.

Also, I guess I fall into that category. I've made several but have no idea how to execute them.

So yeh.

I support the sword idea I hate the pause you do when your guy makes like really it pauses when you lunge a sword and you stop then you move again stop and its a cycle that EVERYONE HATES VERY MUCH...ABOUT THE NEW SCRIPT So stop with the new sword scripting and go back to the old one if you guys support this roblox will be once again cool.
