Hello everyone. I am making a (sorta) gun system for my game, problem is… actually how about I just show it:
Neon yellow parts are supposed to be bullets, they do spawn whenever I click, but they do not move or face the cursor.
Directory:
Server Script:
-- Main Variables --
local event = script.Parent.FireEvent
local gun = script.Parent
local handle = script.Parent.Handle
-- Configuration --
local BulletSpeed = 100
-- Function --
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,pos)
print("Input received, engaging check..")
if player.Character:FindFirstChild(gun.Name) then -- check if gun equipped
-- Projectile --
print("Check successful!")
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
bullet.Size = Vector3.new(2.235, 0.59, 0.795)
bullet.Position = handle.Position
bullet.CFrame.LookVector = CFrame.lookAt(pos)
print("Bullet is created.")
-- Movement --
local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Parent = bullet
BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,BulletSpeed)
BodyVelocity.P = 100
print("Bullet is moving.")
else
print("Check unsuccessful.")
player:Kick("Check failed, security measures engaged.")
print(player.Name.."has been kicked.")
end
end)
Local Script:
-- Main Variables --
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local event = script.Parent.FireEvent
-- Function --
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
event:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position,player)
end)
And before any of you say anything, yes, I know, BodyVelocity is deprecated, but my friend says he uses it and it works just fine. If I finally make a working gun, I will be excited for weeks on end. I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.
Your server script have a lot of errors but i fixed it
-- Main Variables --
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FireEvent")
local gun = script.Parent
local handle = script.Parent.Handle
-- Configuration --
local BulletSpeed = 100
-- Function --
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,pos)
print("Input received, engaging check..")
if player.Character:FindFirstChild(gun.Name) then -- check if gun equipped
-- Projectile --
print("Check successful!")
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.795, 0.59, 2.235)
bullet.Position = handle.Position
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(bullet.Position ,pos)
print("Bullet is created.")
-- Movement --
local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Parent = bullet
BodyVelocity.Velocity = bullet.CFrame.LookVector * BulletSpeed
BodyVelocity.P = 100
print("Bullet is moving.")
else
print("Check unsuccessful.")
player:Kick("Check failed, security measures engaged.")
print(player.Name.."has been kicked.")
end
end)
Your code is not working because of these following codes:
-You should place Event in ReplicatedStorage instead because placing in tool make the script sometimes can’t find the event to fire
-You can’t set bullet look direction by setting LookVector. Use “bullet.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(bullet.Position, pos)” instead. (You even forgot to put the first variables)
-Body Velocity should be set by bullet.CFrame.LookVector * BulletSpeed instead of using just Vector3.new for more accurate.
-The bullet size a bit off so i changed it a bit (This shouldn’t be much of a problem but e)
-Optional: You should set bullet.CanCollide to false to prevent it acting weird (Like messing up the direction)
