I’m making a gun system and it works the way I have it, but sometimes it doesn’t shoot backwards correctly, it can hit the tool handle on accident, and I don’t think it works on mobile. I think my main issue is raycasting since I’ve never really worked with rays before. Any improvements or suggestions would help.
Local Script:
reloading = false
local shootEvent = rStorage.Shot
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child:IsA("Tool") then
child.Activated:Connect(function()
if not reloading then
reloading = true; plrGui:WaitForChild("MainGame").Reloading.Visible = true
local head = character:FindFirstChild("Head")
local headLookVector = head.CFrame.LookVector
local shootMouse = CFrame.new(head.Position, mouse.Hit.Position).LookVector
local distance = (headLookVector-shootMouse)
local gunRayParams = RaycastParams.new(); gunRayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
gunRayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
local gunRayResult = workspace:Raycast(head.Position, (mouse.Hit.Position-head.Position).Unit*300)
local rayInstance; local pos
if gunRayResult then
rayInstance = gunRayResult.Instance
pos = gunRayResult.Position
end
shootEvent:FireServer(rayInstance, pos, child)
local dt = 0
while dt <= 2 do
dt += runService.RenderStepped:Wait()
end
reloading = false; plrGui:WaitForChild("MainGame").Reloading.Visible = false
end
end)
end
end)
Server Script:
rStorage.Shot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, part, pos, tool)
local statsFolder = player.StatsFolder
tool.ShotSound:Play()
if part and pService:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name) ~= player then
local distance = (tool.Handle.Position-pos).Magnitude
local gunTrail=Instance.new("Part");gunTrail.Anchored=true;gunTrail.BrickColor=BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
gunTrail.CFrame=CFrame.new(tool.Handle.Position,pos)*CFrame.new(0,0,-distance/2);gunTrail.Transparency=.8;gunTrail.CanCollide=false
gunTrail.Size=Vector3.new(.1,.1,distance);gunTrail.Parent=workspace
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 and not part.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField") then
humanoid.Health -= humanoid.MaxHealth
statsFolder.KillsValue.Value += 1
if part.Name == "Head" then
tool.Headshot:Play()
statsFolder.SilverValue.Value += math.floor(25*statsFolder.StatMultiplier.Value)
else
statsFolder.SilverValue.Value += math.floor(10*statsFolder.StatMultiplier.Value)
end
end
local gunTrailFade = twService:Create(gunTrail, TweenInfo.new(0.5), {Transparency = 1, Size = Vector3.new(0,0,distance)})
gunTrailFade:Play(); gunTrailFade.Completed:Wait()
gunTrail:Destroy()
end
end)
