Alternative to Camera:GetLargestCutoffDistance?

I was confused about how to implement a poppercam, resulting in failed attempts where it would place the camera beside the obstruction but still have a part of the camera clipping through the obstruction.

This was until I found:

I tested it and it did exactly what I wanted it to:

local Distance = Camera:GetLargestCutoffDistance(players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren())
Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -Distance)

However, it says in the article that it’s deprecated. Is there a better way of doing this, or should I just use this despite it being deprecated?

You can just use raycasting instead. Cast a ray from the character’s head backwards, find the distance and update the camera position.
