I have a raycast, and I am trying to make it go in a circular motion by using a vector3 value and adding on to it
local Direction = (LookVector * 2000)+OffsetOrientation
local Cast = workspace:Raycast(Origin, Direction)
OffsetOrientation = Vector3.new(OffsetOrientation.X+CurveAmount,OffsetOrientation.Y,OffsetOrientation.Z)
That’s the code I have, which gives me this result
It raycasts from 0,17.5,0 from this part
I am trying to make the motion go like this (but as the vector3)
except instead of turning 90 degrees, it turns 5 degrees every repeat
local SideRotation = 45 local CurveAmount = 5
yet I do not have the scripting knowledge to make it do that

I would help however, the second i read [HELP NEEDED URGENT VERY URGENT PLEASE HELP] my reading time ran out, Sorry lad.

Hate to be a downer but what you are trying to do simply is not possible. A raycast can only be fired in a straight line, period.

I mean that casting a raycast in a repeating function and with each cast, it adds on an orientation offset that gets altered/added/subtracted to each time it repeats

local Direction = OffsetOrientation.LookVector * 2000
local Cast = workspace:Raycast(Origin, Direction)
OffsetOrientation = CFrame.Angles((OffsetOrientation.X+CurveAmount) * math.pi/180, OffsetOrientation.Y * math.pi/180, OffsetOrientation.Z * math.pi/180)
Something like this?

I get Error:

Can you show more of your code?

What line did you get the error on? Make sure you change
local Direction = (LookVector * 2000)+OffsetOrientation
to
local Direction = OffsetOrientation.LookVector * 2000

If I changed it to that, then it wouldn’t cast the raycast towards the parts lookvector, aka where it’s facing, instead it would cast to Offset Orientation times two thousand

The line I changed when you suggested the new code it errored

I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to do, then.

It is hard to Explain
Like example, if you had a laser and you made a circle with it, thats what im trying to do, but with raycasts in roblox

Try replacing the direction line with
local Direction = (OffsetOrientation * [Part raycasting from].Orientation).LookVector * 2000
You might want to change the third line in the loop to
OffsetOrientation = CFrame.Angles(OffsetOrientation:ToEulerAngles() + CurveAmount * math.pi/180, 0, 0)
It would help if you could describe what you are trying to do.

Ok I tried and it errored LookVector is not a valid memeber of Vector3

Change the line initializing OffsetOrientation to a Vector3 to instead initialize it to an identity CFrame
