Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Basically I want the bullet that gets created to shoot in the direction of where the Crosshair (ImageLabel) is, Unfortunately I can’t get the script to work for some reason…

My local script for gun:

local RemoteEvent2 = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ShotEvent2")
local MobileCrosshair = player.PlayerGui.Mobile.Crosshair

ShootMobile.TouchTap:Connect(function()
		if gun.Ammo.Value > 0 then
			RemoteEvent2:FireServer(BulletAimer.Position, gun.Handle.Orientation, MobileCrosshair.Position)

			gun_Shot:Play()
			gun.Ammo.Value += -1
		else
			empty_Clip:Play()
		end
	end)

My bullet create script:

local RemoteEvent2 = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ShotEvent")

RemoteEvent2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, BulletAimerPos, gunOr, CrossHairPos)

	local bullet = Instance.new('Part')
	bullet.Name = "Bullet"
	bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
	bullet.Shape = Enum.PartType.Cylinder
	bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.25,0.5)
	bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Silver')

	local damageScript = serverStorage:FindFirstChild('Damage'):Clone()
	damageScript.Parent = bullet

	local damageValue = damageScript:WaitForChild("Dmg")
	damageValue.Value = 5


	local distance = (CrossHairPos - BulletAimerPos).magnitude
	local speed = 200
	bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(BulletAimerPos, CrossHairPos)
	bullet.Velocity = bullet.CFrame.LookVector * speed
	bullet.Orientation = gunOr + Vector3.new(0, -90, 0)

end)

How can I make a shooting system on Mobile?

Maybe instead of using the crosshair as the direction you could use the cameras direction? It would make it so the bullet will fly towards whatever direction the camera is facing

How would I be able to script that? I’m not to sure how to put that in the script.

Oh hello! What is Instance “ShootMobile”, did you define it in your script?

Instead of putting ShootMobile.TouchTap:Connect(function() you put MobileCrosshair.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(). Try this.

I think your problem is the fact that you try to use a GUI 2d position as the destination. Instead of using MobileCrosshair.Position, try using Vector3.new(MobileCrosshair.Position.X, MobileCrosshair.Position.Y, maxDist)(maxDist is where the bullet should stop moving and despawn)

Yes I did define it, this is what it is:

local ShootMobile = player.PlayerGui.Mobile.Shoot

He doesn’t want it to spawn a bullet when the player presses the crosshair, rather when the player presses the Shoot button.

Try this:

local RemoteEvent2 = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ShotEvent2")
local MobileCrosshair = player.PlayerGui.Mobile.Crosshair

ShootMobile.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if gun.Ammo.Value > 0 then
		RemoteEvent2:FireServer(BulletAimer.Position, gun.Handle.Orientation, MobileCrosshair.Position)

		gun_Shot:Play()
		gun.Ammo.Value += -1
	else
		empty_Clip:Play()
	end
end)

I ended up getting confused here, he hadn’t defined what ShootMobile was.

Ok, but that’s pc… not mobile I need to be able to tap that button on my phone and it will shoot a bullet with that local script the gun has.

You can go to Test and choose the device.

My roblox is in Portuguese Brazil, sorry if you can’t understand.
