Finding closest path to raycasted part

[InfernoAmaruq (Flame)]

Hi, I’m trying to find closest position to wall from where player is standing, and I’m not sure how to do it.

The closest position would be one perpendicular to wall and facing the player

The wall itself is found via raycast, raycast orientation is where the player is facing, and I need to find point X.

Y axis may be disregarded, this just needs to work on X and Z axis.

Thank you for your help

Alr so i ended up fixing it, if you find this post and have the same issue, here’s the solution:

Finding the closest Vector3 point on a part from the character

The best way to do this is to transform your reference point on the character (e.g. the position of the RootPart) into the local space of the part, then do a simple closest point on AABB check by clamping the position according to the part’s size, and finally transform it back into world space. Here’s some code: local function ClosestPointOnPart(Part, Point) local Transform = Part.CFrame:pointToObjectSpace(Point) -- Transform into local space local HalfSize = Part.Size * 0.5 return Part.CFra…
