I have a recoil system in a gun system I’m working on where a cursor gui that follows that player’s cursor is offset by a certain amount when the gun is fired. I want to sort of raycast forward from the gui to get what would be similar to mouse.Hit.Position but for the cursor gui.
Illustration of what I’m trying to achieve:
I’ve tried doing stuff with camera rightvector and upvector and have searched the devforum for a while but can not find a working solution for what I want. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I haven’t used this method in a while, but it should work if you plug the UI’s position into it as the X and Y coordinates. Although it returns a ray apparently, not a raycast…
Works perfectly, thanks! Here’s what I came up with with that:
local function GetCursorPos()
local ray = cam:ScreenPointToRay(cursor.Position.X.Scale*plr.PlayerGui.TPGS.AbsoluteSize.X, cursor.Position.Y.Scale*plr.PlayerGui.TPGS.AbsoluteSize.Y, 1)
local origin = ray.Origin
local direction = ray.Direction.Unit*10000
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.IgnoreWater = true
local raycast = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, params)
if raycast then
return raycast.Position
else
return direction
end
end
