How would I create an effect like this?

Solutions I have tried: making the projectile face the center of the ball.
This was my outcome:

My code:

while wait(.1) do
	local laserclone = game.ReplicatedStorage.objects.Laser:Clone()
	laserclone.Parent = workspace.BossObjects
	local AttachmentPosition = script.Parent.Attachment.WorldPosition
	local RandomPosition = AttachmentPosition + Vector3.new(math.random(-60,60), math.random(0,20), math.random(-60,60))
	
	laserclone.CFrame = CFrame.new(AttachmentPosition, AttachmentPosition+Vector3.new(0,1,0))
	
	game.TweenService:Create(laserclone, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {Position = RandomPosition, Transparency = 1}):Play()
end

You want to tween the CFrame | Roblox Creator Documentation not position

Cframe.new(BlastOrigin,Outwards) something like that

3

Could you possibly go more into depth? What variables should I use in the CFrame when tweening?

4

Once you set the part to look in the outward direction you index Cframe.LookVector and you go along that vector for your tween

5

Like this?

CFrame = CFrame.new(RandomPosition, laserclone.CFrame.LookVector)

Sorry if I am annoying you, I’m not very good with CFrame but I appreciate you helping me out.

You want to use this CFrame.new ( Vector3 pos, Vector3 lookAt )

The first parameter is Parts Position Second is where the part is looking towards. In your case it would be Cframe.new(Lazerclone.Position,Blast.Position)

local OutwardCFrame = Cframe.new(Lazerclone.Position,Blast.Position):inverse()
-- Variable is The Lazer looking towards blast it shot out then inversed

-- then you will tern along the lookvector of that cframe

	local laserclone = game.ReplicatedStorage.objects.Laser:Clone()
	laserclone.Parent = workspace.BossObjects
	local AttachmentPosition = script.Parent.Attachment.WorldPosition
	local RandomPosition = AttachmentPosition + Vector3.new(math.random(-60,60), math.random(0,20), math.random(-60,60))

	laserclone.CFrame = CFrame.new(AttachmentPosition, RandomPosition)
	local OutwardCFrame = CFrame.new(laserclone.Position,RandomPosition):inverse()
	game.TweenService:Create(laserclone, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {CFrame = CFrame.new(RandomPosition,OutwardCFrame.LookVector)}):Play()
end

Is this correct?

No i was going to make an example but looking at your script you haven’t defined the position the projectile landed

11

It would look something like this

local OutwardCFrame = Cframe.new(Lazerclone.Position,Blast.Position):inverse()

laserclone.Position = RandomPosition
laserclone.CFrame = OutwardCframe

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local Goal = {Cframe =laserclone.Cframe * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)} --// This should move it 5 studs forward 
-- maybe backwards just test (._.'

game.TweenService:Create(laserclone, tweenInfo,Goal):Play()

RandomPosition is the final position the laser should go to, and attachmentposition is where it starts

13

If that’s the case then. It would look something like this…

local OutwardCFrame = Cframe.new(AttachmentPosition,RandomPosition):inverse()

laserclone.Position = AttachmentPosition
laserclone.CFrame = OutwardCframe

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local Goal = {Cframe =laserclone.Cframe * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)} --// This should move it in the look direction of the random position 
-- 5 studs forward  I think or maybe backwards just test

game.TweenService:Create(laserclone, tweenInfo,Goal):Play()
