How could I prevent tools from going through walls?

Hello! I was trying to make a gun with raycasting, and I quickly realized that when the gun goes into the wall, you can shoot through the wall, no matter how thick the wall is. Im trying to make a proper gun that wont shoot through walls.

I already tried setting the parts to CanCollide true, but if I do that, then the players can go through walls sometimes, and it’s also very glitchy.

Try making it First-Person, If a Player Is in 3rd they can legit put an item/tool through the wall and if it has something that can summon Bricks or Bullets in this case, it will go through the wall

It needs to be Third-Person compatible. The guy im working for is making an RP game, and it needs to have 3rd person compatability.

Could you Raycast from the player’s head or torso as a check?

local isObjectBlocking = true -- This would be your Raycast result from the player head / torso

if not isObjectBlocking then

-- Shoot from the gun

end

Here I assume the issue would be that the gun’s muzzle is being Raycast from - hence when the gun collides through an object the player can shoot ‘through’ the wall.
