2d platformer weapon assistance

[LaughsAlots]

1. I am attempting to make a gun/weapon with no raycasting for a 2d platformer

2. Raycasting creates a line from your weapon to your cursor position which isn’t ideal for a 2d platformer
   raycasting
   

   
   No raycasting
   

3. unfortanely I couldnt find anything on how make to create a gun without raycasting.

Thanks! ~ laughs

You could modify a normal weapon so that its raycast’s start and end positions are flattened into the plane of your 2D game. So if your game exists in the X = 0 plane then you would set the X component of both to 0
