CurrentCamera:ScreenPointToRay() not working in a specific place

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on making a gun mobile-compatible. The main thing is having a fire button instead of shooting toward the mouse position. I have the code written, and it uses CurrentCamera:ScreenPointToRay(viewportX / 2, viewportY / 2) to get the center of the screen. The issue is the visualized ray cast fires toward a specific point in the world. However, this is only in the game’s place. In a separate environment, it works perfectly fine.

Here is the code running the calculation and visualizing how the bullet would travel.

local function visualizeRay(StartPosition, TargetPosition)
	print(StartPosition, TargetPosition)
	
	local distance = (StartPosition - TargetPosition).Magnitude
	if distance > 2024 then
		print("Distance is too large to visualize!", ` distance: {distance}`)
		return
	end

	local newPart = Instance.new("Part")
	newPart.Parent = workspace
	newPart.Color = Color3.new(0.94902, 1, 0)
	newPart.Anchored = true


	newPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,distance)
	newPart.Material = Enum.Material.Neon

	local Center = (StartPosition + TargetPosition) / 2
	newPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Center, StartPosition)
	newPart.CanCollide = false
	newPart.Name = "Ray Visualization"
end

local function createRay(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if inputState ~= Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		return
	end
	local viewportSize = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize
	local x = viewportSize.X / 2
	local y = viewportSize.Y / 2

	local centerScreenUnit = workspace.CurrentCamera:ScreenPointToRay(x, y)
	
	local startPosition = centerScreenUnit.Origin
	local targetPosition = centerScreenUnit.Direction * 500
	
	visualizeRay(startPosition, targetPosition)
end

local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
contextActionService:BindAction("VisualizeRay", createRay, true, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)

Here is a video showcasing the same script in two different places giving two different outcomes. I’ve looked through the game’s code as well and nothing else interacts with the camera.

Is this an engine bug?
I don’t see how a math equations output is different if calculated in a different place.

Note: the script is only to help me make sure the screen calculation is right, this is not currently the gun system.
