It used to be that before, but I changed it because if there is something/someone behind you, but infront of the camera, you can pretty much shoot backwards
Yea I assumed that could happen I’m looking for other ways to get the results you want

This is actually a fairly simple fix. What you need to do is raycast from your mouse’s screen pos in world space and then find the unit vector pointed towards that location from your HRP.
This is a snippet from one of my Utils modules I’ve made:
function ClientUtils:InputToWorldPosition(input: InputObject, maxDepth: number?)
maxDepth = maxDepth or DEFAULT_MAX_INPUT_DEPTH
local inputPos = input.Position
local unitRay = CAMERA:ScreenPointToRay(inputPos.X, inputPos.Y)
local result = workspace:Raycast(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction*maxDepth, RAYCAST_PARAMS)
return result and result.Position or unitRay.Origin+unitRay.Direction*maxDepth
end
With that you can do something like:
-- pseudo code
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, process)
if process then return end
if input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then return end
local inputPos = ClientUtils:InputToWorldPosition(input, 500)
local bulletUnitVector = (inputPos-Character:GetPivot().Position).UnitVector
-- do logic with the known bullet unit vector...
end)

Thank you! But i am fairly new to this type of stuff so it is confusing, would you be able to show an example with my type of code?
Yea, do you know where they have the input handled? I hope it’s using UserInputService

Let me know if im wrong, thanks.
If this is a tool I believe they’re using Activated, this looks like it’s just for replicating sounds sadly.

Let me know if this works and if you have any questions:
local module = {}
function module.Get(Character)
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RayParameters = RaycastParams.new()
local RayCast = nil
local MaxDepth = 5000
RayParameters.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Character}
-- get the mouse's WorldPosition(center of camera at all times I hope LOL)
local mouseOrigin = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position
local mouseDirection = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.LookVector
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(mouseOrigin, mouseDirection * MaxDepth, RayParameters)
-- if the result was nil, we still want to cast towards where we were aiming
-- so we default to our `mouseOrigin+mouseDirection*MaxDepth`
local mouseWorldPos = raycastResult and raycastResult.Position or mouseOrigin+mouseDirection*MaxDepth
-- raycast from HumanoidRootPart to our mouseWorldPos
local rootPos = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
local rootUnitVector = (mouseWorldPos-rootPos).Unit
-- dist from rootPos to mouseWorldPos(may need to add 1 stud just incase...)
local dist = (rootPos-mouseWorldPos).Magnitude
-- raycast from our rootpart towards the rootUnitVector we calculated with the dist to the mouseWorldPos...
local characterRaycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rootPos, rootUnitVector*dist, RayParameters)
-- basically what you had before except we swapped it for the second raycast result...
if characterRaycastResult then
return characterRaycastResult.Position, characterRaycastResult.Instance, characterRaycastResult.Normal
else
return rootPos + rootUnitVector * dist, nil, nil
end
end
return module
What if he just used the weapon as a origin then use the camera hit as direction?
He doesn’t want them to be able to peak hence why it’s origin is the root part… good shout tho.
Thank you! But unfortunately it did not work, anything behind the player but infront of the camera will still be shot backwards.
So the gun is shooting backwards? I might’ve messed up my vector math lol
Only if the crosshair is on an object behind the player
Oh you’ll probably have to offset the initial camera origin by the lookvector a little bit… I’m not the greatest when it comes to gun systems so I wouldn’t know the best thing to do for 3rd person stuff.
I’ll try, but thanks a lot for helping!!! I really appreciate it! 
you could use dot product to check if the mouse world pos is behind the player actually… idk if this is the BEST solution but it would work as well…
I’ll check it out, thanks!!!
Here’s a really good guide on it:
