How to visualize a raycast?

No, in fact I will leave you my tutorial, since the video you watched has some questionable practices.

How to make a raycasting gun

Preface Alright so the developer hub and old wiki had this, although a few months ago it was removed from the former because it was just so terribly outdated it was a joke. So I thought I should revive that old tutorial. A lot has happened since that tutorial, like new raycasting api being added and filtering enabled being enforced and that tutorial was just never updated. So I am making this with that all in mind. Let’s begin! Alright so first you will want your weapon. I grabbed a Colt…

@sjr04

	local origin = shoot_part.Position
	local direction = (position - origin).Unit*300
	local result = Workspace:Raycast(origin, direction)
	
	local intersection = result and result.Position or origin + direction
	local distance = (origin - intersection).Magnitude
	
	local bullet_clone = ServerStorage.Bullet:Clone()
	bullet_clone.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, distance)
	bullet_clone.CFrame = CFrame.new(origin, intersection)*CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance/2)

I explain it further in there as well
