Hello! Today I am here to ask about something I have been thinking about for my game. I am making a game with slingshots and I need to create a script for firing the “Pellets”. Can somebody please explain how this is done? Here’s my 2 scripts so far:
Local script
local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local RE = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClassicFire")
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
RE:FireServer(Mouse.Hit.Position)
end)
Server Script
local Slingshot = script.Parent.Parent
local Handle = Slingshot.Handle
local Equipped = false
local Pellet = game.ServerStorage.Pellets.ClassicPellet
local RE = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClassicFire")
local debounce = false
Slingshot.Equipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = true
end)
Slingshot.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = false
end)
local function OnFire(player, MousePos)
if Equipped == true then
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
local ClonedPellet = Pellet:Clone()
--stuck here
end
end
end
RE.OnServerEvent:Connect(OnFire())
There are probably so many problems with this already… Thanks for reading! (P.S: I know I am messy )
In first person the mouse is locked to the center of screen by default, you changed that? If you didnt you can use the Camera LookVector.
If in your game mouse is not locked and can be moved while in first person, then you can get the direction where the mouse is relative to the camera with this
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local lookVector = mouse.UnitRay.Direction
It uses the Camera origin (which is centered) and it consider where the mouse is positioned to get the direction line for a projectile to go into that direction. Im bad at explaining… heres the docu
How you wanna move the pellet? by using Physics? by changing the CFrame? Tweening?
Its an actual model/part? I had to search for the word “pellet” sorry english is not my native language… xD It just says its a “bolita”… and I dont quite get it
If you want to move it by using the physics, go for MoversConstraints or BodyMovers
