How do I detect if a player's camera is under a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to create a rain system similar to Bloxburg’s, how it works is when your camera is under something (for example a part) the rain GUI goes away, then if your camera is not under a part it appears again.

How am I supposed to detect if a player’s camera is under a part?

I used Raycasting for my system; fire a ray upwards from the Player’s camera and if it hits something then it’s under something, if not then its under nothing.

Also you’ve listed this under the incorrect category.

My bad, I’ve changed the topic and thanks I’ll look into that

I’ve made this script which seems to not work, I’ve tried creating 2 parts with the same positions and it was done as expected, do you know what I did wrong?

local raycastParam = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParam.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(camera.CFrame.Position, camera.CFrame.Position + Vector3.new(0, 100, 0))

while wait(3) do
    if raycastResult then
        print(raycastResult.Instance:GetFullName())
    else 
        print("none")
    end
end

(It was printing none even though my camera was under something)

I’ve added the raycastParam to the last param but it still didn’t work

Ah I placed the raycastResult outside of the while wait that’s why it didn’t work, fixed now.

Cast a ray from the character’s root’s negative up vector.

You’re firing your ray once here:

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(camera.CFrame.Position, camera.CFrame.Position + Vector3.new(0, 100, 0))

Put this inside your while loop, additionally you can use RunService instead of a while loop to make it update quicker.
