Hello, I’m sorta new to Raycasting. I’ve been working on a Blood System. I’ve got the basics down. But I can’t seem to make it so that the blood detects a wall. It seems to just go right through it, and It doesn’t seem to print that it detected a wall.
Here is the code:
-- (Sorry If the code is messy and hard to understand.)
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local origin = script.Parent
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent, game.Workspace.BloodPuddles, game.Workspace.BloodFolder, game.Workspace["Ignore"], game.Workspace.coolbloodgenerator}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
local hitbox = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Position,Vector3.new(0,-1,0), params)
if hitbox then
if hitbox.Instance.Name == "Baseplate" then
print("hit baseplate")
end
if hitbox.Instance.Name == "Wall" then
print("hit wall")
end
local puddle = game.Lighting.Puddle:Clone()
puddle.Position = hitbox.Position
puddle.Parent = game.Workspace.BloodPuddles
puddle.Expand.Enabled = true
task.wait(0.4)
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)
Warning: Contains Blood
P.S: This is my first post, so please say something if I did something wrong.
Thank you! I didn’t realize it was that simple of a problem. It seems to go onto the floor and the wall correctly now. Now I just got to make it so it rotates correctly.
This is what I changed the code to if anybody has this kind of issue,
local hitbox = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Position,Vector3.new(-1,-1,-1), params)
Also, sorry for the late response. I went to sleep right after I made this post.
I think you misunderstood my question. Sorry if my question was unclear, but I wanted to know if It’s possible to make the blood not go through the wall, but also still hit the wall. To clarify, I want the blood to be stopped by a wall, not go through it. (Turning CanCollide on does this but it causes the blood to be weird, and not work correctly.)
The result I want is shown in the example below:
Note: Everything with my blood system is Clientsided, I don’t know if its impossible with Clientside, but tell me if it is.
Raycasts will automatically detect walls and return the position of the point of intersection as long as the wall’s CanQuery property is turned on. However to get a realistic effect you can rotate the blood effect relative to the normal of the raycast.
