  1. Create a CFRame, so you know which way the bullet needs to rotate;
local CF = CFrame.new(GunBarrel.Position,RayHit) -- both are Vector3
  1. Creat a the bullet part.
local Bullet = Instance.new("Part")
Bullet.Anchored = true
Bullet.Cancollide = false
Bullet.Transparency = .5
Bullet.Parent = workspace
  1. Get the lenght of the bullet and create a width
local Width = .5
local Lenght = (GunBarrel.Position - RayHit).Magnitude

Bullet.Size = Vector3.new(Width,Width,Lenght)
Bullet.CFrame = CF --+ Bullet.Size/2
  1. Destroy the bullet
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Bullet,.5)

It is not working it creates randomly facing part

My script is this:

	local BulletCF = CFrame.new(plr.Character[toolname].Handle.Position,part.Position)
		local Bullet = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
		Bullet.Name = "ShootBullet"
		Bullet.Anchored = true
		Bullet.CanCollide = false
		Bullet.Transparency = 0.5
		local Width = 0.5
		local Lenght = (plr.Character[toolname].Handle.Position - part.Position).Magnitude
		Bullet.Size = Vector3.new(Lenght,Width,Width)
		Bullet.CFrame = BulletCF + Bullet.Size

Btw, note it’s better to use.

local Bullet = Instance.new("Part")
Bullet.Parent = workspace

There’s an article about this.

What ? I think this do not helps me

#6

Yes, but just a performance issue.
Other then that You’d need to fire this part of the script once you equiped it and clicked, as what you’re doing now is firing it whenever.

#7

No, This happens only when client fire event to shoot and it will check if hit part exist

I changed something at point 3, but I am still not sure if it would work completely.
Oh and I noticed another thing I did wrong was use the whole Lenght of the bullet, but I’d only need to move it 1/2th of it’s size, so I fixed it.
And I added point 4.

#9

Anyways, It is still do not working

#10

I fixed the issue that it’s not facing the Part, but I am not sure how to fix the issue of it not being centered right.

#11

So that means what ? I don’t know what you mean

#12

I fixed the issue of the bullet not rotating right, but I didn’t fix the issue of the part not being centered in between the 2 parts.
