How do I make a shotgun bullet spread with raycast?

    local Beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
Beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("White")
Beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
Beam.Transparency = 0.25
Beam.Material = "Neon"
Beam.Anchored = true
Beam.CanCollide = false

local Distance = (FirePart.Position - Target).magnitude
Beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,Distance)
Beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(FirePart.Position, Target)* CFrame.new(0,0, -Distance/2)

game.Debris:AddItem(Beam, 0.1)

local NewRay = RaycastParams.new()
local RayDirection = (Target - FirePart.Position) * Range

NewRay.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character}

local Result = workspace:Raycast(FirePart.Position, RayDirection, NewRay)

if Result then
	if Result.Instance then
		if Result.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			Result.Instance.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= UziDamage
		end
	end
end

You’re gonna need to provide more information than just the script.

local function Pew()
update_ammo()
FireEvent:FireServer(Mouse.Hit.p, tool.Handle, FirePart, “Shotgun”)
tool.Bullets.Value = tool.Bullets.Value - 1
end

This probably isn’t the best way to do shotgun spread, but it’s the way that I do it, and I think it’s pretty easy to understand.

Pick a distance that is away from the initial firing position, say 10 studs.

Take the position of the firing direction at 10 studs, and offset it in the X and Y directions sort of like a 2d coordinate plane, but it’s being mapped infront of the weapon’s barrel.

You want to construct a new firing direction for the pellet of the shotgun based on the randomized offset by doing (offsetPosition - firingPosition).unit

You want to play around with the offset values and the distance where you map the coordinate plane at, but I’ve made it work pretty solid before.

Do you mean move a bullet? If yes you could use TweenService to a really accurate movement.

No i mean like multiple bullets get fired from a shotgun and it makes a couple of lines.

would that be in the Server Script or the one that is firing to the server script from the client?
