How would i achieve this effect

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

THIS IS A MIX OF BUILDING AND SCRIPTING SUPPORT AS IT REQUIRES DESIGNING AND SCRIPTING!

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    i want to make a decal that stretches to make sure its always against a surface, an example in studio with parts:
    image_2024-11-15_204827622
    (say that this is raycasting from above)

a better example from the game “Regretevator”:
image_2024-11-15_205110343

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    i have absolutley no clue how id do this beside maybe the idea of using bones on a part

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    NONE, i have no found anything on this subject

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

i’m gonna assume they used raycasting & a flat plane with plenty of bones.
it’s a shot in the dark, but it would result in something that looks like this:

i have some code worked out to do this effect, but the plane i have dosent have enough bones to correctly deforme around parts, sadly with my lack of blender skills i have no clue how i would create a plane with more bones attached to it
