Help with Headshot Raycast bug (Again)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im posting this again because I haven’t found a solution. Basically I can headshot npcs but not players. Although body shots work on players. Anyone know why or have an idea?

function Fired(player, mouse, startpoint)

	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local HRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	local Tool = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")



	if Tool:FindFirstChild("BulletCount") then
		if Tool:FindFirstChild("BulletCount").Value==0  or Tool:FindFirstChild("BulletCount").Value<0 then return end
		Tool:FindFirstChild("BulletCount").Value-=1

		local Config = Tool:FindFirstChild("Config") 

		if not Config then return end

		VFX:FireAllClients( "BulletSound", character, Config.ShootSFX.Value)
		VFX:FireAllClients("SmallShine", startpoint)

		local Params = RaycastParams.new()

		local BlockedAccessories = {}
		for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do

			if v:IsA("Accessory") then
				table.insert(BlockedAccessories, v)
			end
		end

		Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		Params.FilterDescendantsInstances =  character:GetDescendants()
		Params:AddToFilter(BlockedAccessories)

		local Direction = (mouse.Position - startpoint).Unit * range
		local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(startpoint, Direction, Params)

		if Raycast then

			local hit = Raycast.Instance
			local EndPos = Raycast.Position


			VFX:FireAllClients("BulletParticle", startpoint, Config.BulletColor, EndPos,true)

			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent.Name~=player.Name then
				local Hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
				if Hum.Health<1 then return end
				print(hit.Name)
				if hit.Name=="Head" then

					local Check = DMGMOD.DamageEnemy(player, hit.Parent, Hum, 100)

					local KillEffect = Config:FindFirstChild("KillEffect")

					CheckKFX(Check, KillEffect.Value, hit.Parent, true, player)

					return

				elseif hit.Name~="Head" then


					local Check = DMGMOD.DamageEnemy(player, hit.Parent, Hum, 25)

					local KillEffect = Config:FindFirstChild("KillEffect")


					CheckKFX(Check, KillEffect.Value, hit.Parent, false, player)



					return
				end


			end

		elseif not Raycast then

			VFX:FireAllClients("BulletParticle", startpoint, Config.BulletColor, Direction, false)
			print("Not Hit")


		end
	end


end

Try a different approach on blacklisting the players character

Params.FilterDescendantsInstances =  {player.Character}
#3

tried it. Didn’t work. Idk or have any idea on this, seen other scripts with ray cast and they can detect player heads.

#4

Most likely it detects hat hitbox that blocks the head hitbox. Other scripts are most likely aware of that. You have to exclude hat hitboxes from raycasting somehow. The quickiest (but not the best) way would be putting a server script in the StarterCharacterScripts

task.wait()
for i, instance in script.Parent:GetChildren() do
	if instance:IsA('Accessory') then
		for i, accInstance in instance:GetDescendants() do
			if accInstance:IsA('BasePart') then accInstance.CanQuery = false accInstance.CanTouch = false end
		end
	end
end

This script basically sets CanQuery to false of all parts associated with hats. Try this

#5

i’ve tried blacklisting accessories, and making CanQuery false, for some reason it just phases through the players head. Here’s it without hats.

#6

nvm i found the solution. For whatever reason, position only replicated on client side so i used CFrame instead and it worked.
