How do I transfer raycastresults by using remote events?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a raycasting gun system that does the raycasting on the client side, but whenever i try to transfer raycastresult.position and raycastresult.normal for bullet holes using remote events from client to server, it just doesn’t work.

Code to transfer:

script.Parent.RayCastEvent2:FireServer(CFrame.new(pos,pos+normal), Result)
#2

Did you get some of the parameter(cframe or result), or you get nothing?

#3

Everytime I try getting the CFrame parameter from the server side after firing the remote event, there’s an error in the output called [CFrame is not a valid member of Player “Players.bandy512”].

This is the part of the script trying to get the parameters transferred from the client side.

script.Parent.RayCastEvent2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(cframe, part)
	local hole = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("bullethole")
	hole.CFrame = cframe.CFrame
#4

The first parameter by defaut is a player:

script.Parent.RayCastEvent2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, cframe, part)

If you want all the raycast data, just send over a table of all the data.

local tbl = {Result.Instance, Result.Position, Raycast.Material, Raycast.Normal}
script.Parent.RayCastEvent2:FireServer(CFrame.new(pos,pos+normal), tbl)

Kinda silly that it wouldn’t be able to be passed normally by just passing the table it returns in the first place, is there another way to do this?

Edit: I just did it through a table with the info I needed, still kinda silly
