I want to make arrows and bows fly in multiplayer games

I made it like a video tutorial (tutorial) without using a plugin. It doesn’t work.

I don’t know what the reason is…

Help…

Error message: Arrow is not a valid member of Tool “Workspace.PlayerName.Bows”

※ I used Google Translate.

this video shows how to make projectiles, this will also make the projectile stick to the player once hit

but if u wanna make it easier, you should use impulse
BasePart:ApplyImpulse (roblox.com)

Does fastcast need to use external elements like plugins?

#5

I don’t know what BasePart:ApplyImpulse(roblox.com) means.

#6

nope,it doesn’t.

I don’t know if the translation of the video is not good,
It seems that fastcast is downloaded from outside, not directly produced.
(It is not possible to distinguish whether the video is an introduction or a download. : Roblox how to make smooth projectiles - YouTube)

I am using a 0 to 1 production course that I can understand and fix even if there is a problem later because my level is low.

Is the fastcast simple enough to fix itself even if there is a problem?

The translation is not good, but
thank you for telling me.

The understanding of the video is low, so I changed it to Arrow,
It seems that several attempts are needed to play the Animation left in the inquiry.

Thanks for the quick and kind reply.

If you have any further questions, I’ll leave a comment.

First of all, we need to understand something of this difficult high difficulty (FastCastRedux).

I’m new to the module concept, so I think I’ll have to study this part too. :slight_smile:

thank you!
I haven’t added animation yet.
As a result of translating the video you mentioned 3 times,

We have confirmed that this is a really good video, and it is producing better results than expected! Thank you very much!!!
