Hello!
I’m having some issues with shooting bullets and where they’re supposed to be going.
right now there is no bullet drop, nor is there any spread, so it should eventually hit where my cursor is. This shouldn’t happen instantly though as it uses tween service to move the bullet, and raycasting to detect hits.
The yellow part on the wall is the bullet
local velocity = weaponData.BulletVelocity
local delta, lastTick = 0,tick()
local endPosition = mouse.Hit.p
local currentPosition = tool.Hole.Position
local startPosition = currentPosition
bullet.Position = currentPosition
local increase;
local coveredDistance = 0
local direction = CFrame.new(startPosition, endPosition).LookVector
local ray;
local goal = {Position = nil}
while wait() and (ray == nil) do
delta = tick() - lastTick
lastTick = tick()
increase = delta * velocity
coveredDistance = coveredDistance + increase
if(coveredDistance > 1000)then
warn("Okay let's cancel out of this")
break
end
--ray between two points
BulletParameters.FilterDescendantsInstances = {
player.Character,
}
ray = workspace:Raycast(currentPosition, direction * increase, BulletParameters)
if(ray)then
warn("we hit an object",ray.Instance)
currentPosition = ray.Position
bullet.Anchored = true
else
currentPosition = currentPosition + Vector3.new(0,0,-increase)
print(currentPosition)
end
goal.Position = currentPosition
BulletTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
(bullet.Position - currentPosition).magnitude * 1/velocity,--distance per sec, how long until update
Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
false,
0
)
TweenService:Create(bullet, BulletTweenInfo, goal):Play()
end
When i’m close to the wall or am aiming at a certain spot, the bullet is properly tween’d to my cursor’s hit, but othertimes it’s off, usually by a big margin. I’m not throwing any errors in my code.
I’m fairly new to this type of scripting as my other gun systems were just laser-gun implementations
Any advice or possible fixes will help, thanks
