part.Size = Vector3.new((script.Parent.Shotpart.Attachment1.Position-character.Head.Position).Magnitude, 0.25, 0.25)
part.Position = CFrame.lookAt(character.Head.Position,character.Head.Position)

No, you didn’t exactly get it right here.

Remove this line.

And CFrame.lookAt requires the starting position and the ending position. You’re close, but you need:

The size should work.

#23

So it should be this?

script.Parent.DetectionPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
		local character = hit.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		if not player.TeamColor ~= BrickColor.new("Bright red") then
			local part = Instance.new("Part", script.Parent)
			local mesh = Instance.new("CylinderMesh", part)
			
			part.Size = Vector3.new((script.Parent.Shotpart.Attachment1.Position-character.Head.Position).Magnitude, 0.25, 0.25)
			part.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(script.Parent.Shotpart.Position, character.Head.Position)
		end
	end
end)
#24

I don’t recommend using a mesh and changing the shape of the part to Enum.PartType.Cylinder. It should work, though. Go try it out.

#25

Okay. This is what happened:

#26

In that case, what is the output?

#27

I think the part is unanchored. You should add a part.Anchored = true line.

#28

Oh wait I moved it to a baseplate because I couldn’t see if there were any errors in the main game because a lot of stuff gets put in the console and uh. This happened.

If I anchor it, it turns out like this.

That’s what I thought. The part does need to be anchored.

Also, I noticed that the CFrame statement is off by a bit. New code:

script.Parent.DetectionPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
		local character = hit.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		if not player.TeamColor ~= BrickColor.new("Bright red") then
			local part = Instance.new("Part")
			part.Anchored = true
			part.CanCollide = false
			local mag = (script.Parent.Shotpart.Attachment1.Position-character.Head.Position).Magnitude
			part.Size = Vector3.new(mag, 0.25, 0.25)
			part.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(script.Parent.Shotpart.Position + (script.Parent.Shotpart.CFrame.LookVector * mag/2), character.Head.Position)
			part.Parent = workspace
			task.wait(2)
			part:Destroy()
		end
	end
end)
#31

I fixed this issue as well in the new code.

It does remove them after 2 seconds though.

#33

This is intentional. You can change the time through the wait statement.
