Best way to make a bullet hole attach to a part?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’ve been working on this gun system. I just want to ask what is best way to make a bullet hole attach or stick to an obstacle/wall.

game.ReplicatedStorage.LoadProjectile.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Position1, tool, dist, startpoint, hit)
	local dist = (startpoint.Position - Position1).magnitude
	local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace.Debris)
	local muzzle = startpoint.MuzzleEffect:Clone()
	local sound = tool.Handle.Fire:Clone()
	muzzle.Parent = startpoint
	muzzle.Enabled = true
	sound:Play()
	tool.Handle.Fire:Play()
	part.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, dist)
	part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	part.Transparency = 0.6
	part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
	part.Anchored = true
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.CFrame = CFrame.new(startpoint.Position, Position1) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -dist/2)
	game.Debris:AddItem(part, 0.01)
	game.Debris:AddItem(muzzle, 0.1)
	
	local hole = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hole:Clone()
	hole.Parent = workspace.Debris
	hole.Position = Position1
	--hole.CFrame = CFrame.new(hole.Position, hole.Position+startpoint.Position, hole.Position)
	hole.ParticleEmitter.Acceleration = Vector3.new(math.random(-3, 3), -10, math.random(-3, 3))
	local random = math.random(1, 3)
	if random == 1 then
		hole.Ricochet1:Play()
	elseif random == 2 then
		hole.Ricochet2:Play()
	elseif random == 3 then
		hole.Ricochet3:Play()
	end
	
	game.Debris:AddItem(hole.ParticleEmitter, 0.8)
	game.Debris:AddItem(hole, 5)
end)

Position1 = The position where the raycast hits
Tool = self-explanatory
dist = Distance between the
startpoint = The starting position of the raycast
hit = A bool value, not related to the issue

Are you trying to make it attach to a moving/physics part?

I reviewed your code and it already looks like you have the bullet hole part done.

local hole = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hole:Clone()
hole.Parent = workspace.Debris
hole.Position = Position1

No, I’m not trying to attach it to a moving part.
The code is working perfectly fine but the bullet hole is budging out, It’s anchored I just need to find a way to make it like really attached to the ground.

If its a decal do:

decal.Face = "Front"

I think you need to change the orientation to align it with the part it touches

You’re gonna need to change the orientation of the hole instance to the orientation of the part it hit.

If this doesn’t work, because I’ve never made a gun system before, try doing this hole.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position1, Position1 + Normal). The Normal variable is RaycastResult.Normal.

It returned:

17:22:13.146  Players.Mememoxzine.PlayerGui.GunProjectileLoader:23: invalid argument #2 (Vector3 expected, got nil)  -  Client - GunProjectileLoader:23

It still does this although it’s clearly specified:

game.ReplicatedStorage.LoadProjectile.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Position1, tool, dist, startpoint, F)

hole.CFrame = CFrame.new(Position1, Position1 + F)

Here’s the server-sided script:

local Target,Position,F = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(Ray.new(player.Character.Head.CFrame.p,(mouse - (player.Character.Head.CFrame.p) ).unit*range),IgnoreList )

I know you might be thinking why I’m using the deprecated one, It just seemed to work and I’m too lazy to learn the new one.

Nevermind, that works just fine. I just need to do it in the server. Thank you so much!
