How to detect hit side

[BMWLux]

1. How do I find which side of a part another part hit, like if it was the front, back, right, top etc. Thank you so much, BMWLux.

You can raycast the point to the part, and get the normal hit.

What do you mean “normal hit” like im saying two parts collide, I want to get the face of where the collision occurred

[Misinformater (luckybits)]

Exactly, you can raycast to get the surface, aka normal or normal hit (Idk which).

With normal, is 0,0,1 like considered the “front” of something?

Well, I can’t say so much because I don’t know so much about normal. After seeing many posts about it, I can say it’s a complicated process.

I hope this, or any related posts helps you.

Getting a part's face from Raycasting?

I want to get the face of the part the player is facing with a raycast if that’s possible. I’m trying to make a ledge climbing system where the player would jump and climb edges. I have heard about face normal with raycasting but don’t know how I could use that to help me get the actual face(to then get the edges) Here is the code I have right now Remotes.TestFunction.OnClientInvoke = function(part,normal) print("[PLAYER IS CLIMBING]") warn(part) local topSurface = part.CFrame * C…

for the blood splatter to be rotated correctly, you need to find the surface normal not the face.

check this out, I believe they had the same problem as you

Get orientation from a Raycast hit

Use raycast normal to achieve that and set the cframe of a part instead of a position. Try something like this: p.CFrame = CFrame.new(Pos, Pos + Normal) You may have to multiply this by some constant depending on your part
