Gun that can shoot a camera and break it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I would really like to know if its possible to create a gun where when it shoots the security camera on the wall then it changes a bool value to true and then the camera unanchors and breaks off the wall.

This Will Be On A One Player Server (one player game)

Please, if you know then give an example (if possible) in the comments

It obviously is. You can either make an invisible hitbox part and add a check to the raycast for whether one of the hitboxes is hit and whether it is parented to a model parented to whatever your cameras are in.

How would I do that, I’ve never used raycast before and I’m a pretty bad scripter. could you give me an example please so I can mark it as the solution for this page?

Your weapon’s script has :Raycast() called somewhere. That method returns a raycast result which has an Instance property which is a part that got hit or nil if nothing was in the way.

Obviously your weapon’s script will look different, but the concept is the same.

local result  = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, parameters)
local part = result.Instance

if part then
    local model = part.Parent
    if part.Name == "RayDetector" then
        part:Destroy()
        --handle the camera
    else
        local human = model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if human then
            -- handle character
        end
    end
end
