Is there something wrong with my script? Then script doesn’t make a part
I think the issue is that the ray’s direction is the lookvector of SHOOTY_PART and then it will only extend 50 studs. So just to test that I’m right, make a wall in your game and point the gun towards the wall. Make sure you are below 50 studs away from the wall or the ray wont cast. To fix this I would point the rays direction at the mouse’s position, I’ll get the calculations for that since I forget them.
I already tried getting closer then 50 studs to an object, didn’t work
Does it print part created? You put print("part created") if the part was created.
no it does not print (30 charsssss)
Is there an error? Is this in a Script or a LocalScript?
No errors, and I put where the local script is and where the serverscript is here:
-- local script
local BODY_DAMAGE = 20
local HEADSHOT = 40
local CLIP = 8
local MAX_BULLETS = 64
local SHOOTY_PART = script.Parent.Shooty
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {SHOOTY_PART.Parent}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(SHOOTY_PART.Position, SHOOTY_PART.CFrame.LookVector * 50, raycastParams)
script.Parent.Handle.Sound:Play()
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
print("Instance created")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty:FireServer(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, hitPart,raycastResult )
end)
-- server script
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, hitPart, raycastResult)
local function visualizeRay(raycastResult)
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, raycastResult.Direction.Magnitude)
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(
raycastResult.Origin + raycastResult.Direction/2,
raycastResult.Origin + raycastResult.Direction
)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
print("part created")
if raycastResult then
if hitPart.Parent == Character then
if hitPart.Name == "Head" then
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(HEADSHOT)
print("Headshot")
else
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(BODY_DAMAGE)
print("Character")
end
end
end
end
end)Well I would cast the ray on the server rather than the client, it would be easier overall to do it on the server. This could also cause issues and is probably why you’re getting this problem.
So put this code (from the LocalScript) in the ServerScript
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {SHOOTY_PART.Parent}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(SHOOTY_PART.Position, SHOOTY_PART.CFrame.LookVector * 50, raycastParams)
script.Parent.Handle.Sound:Play()
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
Then once you done that I would point the ray’s direction to the mouse’s position. So in the LocalScript under local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer put local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() this will get the mouse so you can access it’s properties. Once you’ve done that, under the
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
put this line:
local MousePos = Mouse.Hit.p
and then send over the MousePos in the RemoteEvent in the script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
Once you’ve done all of that, in the ServerScript put this line:
raycastResult = workspace:Raycast = (Ray's origin), (MousePos - (Ray's origin) .Unit * 50)
Don’t know if that will fix the issue, but it will cast the ray to the mouse’s position instead of the lookvector of whatever the ray’s origin is. Once you’ve done all of that tell me if there are any errors with what I just gave you.
Where is the serverscript would I put the top pieces of code in?
I would put it in the visualizeRay function, but put it above the part where you make the part.
no errors but it is still not working
here is the script:
-- local script in tool
local BODY_DAMAGE = 20
local HEADSHOT = 40
local CLIP = 8
local MAX_BULLETS = 64
local SHOOTY_PART = script.Parent.Shooty
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local MousePos = mouse.Hit.p
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty:FireServer(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART.Position, MousePos)
end)
-- ss in tool
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART, MousePos)
local function visualizeRay(raycastResult)
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {SHOOTY_PART.Parent}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(SHOOTY_PART, MousePos - SHOOTY_PART.Unit * 50)
script.Parent.Handle.Sound:Play()
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
print("Instance created")
local part = Instance.new("Part")
print("0")
part.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1,raycastResult.Direction.Magnitude)
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(
raycastResult.Origin + raycastResult.Direction/2,
print("1"),
raycastResult.Origin + raycastResult.Direction
)
print("2")
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
debris(part, 0.3)
print("part created")
if raycastResult then
if hitPart.Parent == Character then
if hitPart.Name == "Head" then
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(HEADSHOT)
print("Headshot")
else
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(BODY_DAMAGE)
print("Character")
end
end
end
end
end)
Help me please
I’m really really sorry for the extremely late response, I had to go do something for a bit. But I implemented your script into one of my own gun scripts that didn’t have a part that would shoot out. I tweaked a few things and eventually got it working, here is the script:
local ray = workspace:Raycast(Barrel.Position, (mousePos - Barrel.Position).Unit * 100)
local direction = (mousePos - Barrel.Position).Unit * 100
local midPoint = Barrel.Position + direction/2
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2,direction.Magnitude)
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(midPoint, Barrel.Position)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
debris:AddItem(part,0.1)
print("part created")
You may need to tweak this a little bit to correspond it with your script, but if any issues pop up please tell me and I’ll try to fix it 
would I replace the serverscript code with this?
Yes (30 charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs)
It printed an error, here is the scripts
-- local script
local BODY_DAMAGE = 20
local HEADSHOT = 40
local CLIP = 8
local MAX_BULLETS = 64
local SHOOTY_PART = script.Parent.Shooty
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local MousePos = mouse.Hit.p
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty:FireServer(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART.Position, MousePos)
end)
-- server script
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART, MousePos)
local ray = workspace:Raycast(SHOOTY_PART.Position, (MousePos - SHOOTY_PART.Position).Unit * 100)
local direction = (MousePos - SHOOTY_PART.Position).Unit * 100
local midPoint = SHOOTY_PART.Position + direction/2
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2,direction.Magnitude)
part.CFrame = CFrame.new(midPoint, SHOOTY_PART.Position)
part.Anchored = true
part.CanCollide = false
part.Parent = workspace
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
debris:AddItem(part,0.1)
print("part created")
local hitPart = ray.Instance
if ray then
if hitPart.Parent == Character then
if hitPart.Name == "Head" then
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(HEADSHOT)
print("Headshot")
else
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(BODY_DAMAGE)
print("Character")
end
end
end
end)Whoops I forgot about the error! The error is: 08:04:43.913 - Players.Kamlkaze_Kid.Backpack.G-17.Script:36: attempt to index number with ‘Position’. I don’t know why this is happening, SHOOTY_PART is a part and position is a member of part
Again, extremely sorry for the late response. I was actually on an 8 hour drive when I responded to your question and when I got home my internet wasn’t working but I have it fixed now. So, can you highlight the line that the error is on? Even though it says on Line 36 I’m pretty sure you have a bit of code missing so I’m not sure what exact line it is on.
This line:
local ray = workspace:Raycast(SHOOTY_PART.Position, (MousePos - SHOOTY_PART.Position).Unit * 100)I think I see the issue, you see whenever you call a RemoteEvent and contact the server from the client regardless of how many arguments you put in the :FireServer the first argument will always be the player. That probably sounds confusing so let me explain. If I were to fire a RemoteEvent like this:
local Part = game.Workspace.Part
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(Part)
and then on the server script if I put:
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Part)
the variable “Part” on the server script is now equal to the player that fired the event. So to fix this I would put
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Part)
So now player is equal to the player that fired the event and Part is equal to game.Workspace.Part.
So, to fix your error on the server script, instead of having:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART, MousePos)
replace that with this line:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Shooty.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Character, HEADSHOT, BODY_DAMAGE, SHOOTY_PART, MousePos)
