Introducing Shapecasts

• RaycastResult.Position represents the intersection between the hit part and the swept shape.
• RaycastResult.Normal represents the normal vector of the surface at the hit point.
• RaycastResult.Distance represents how far the shape had to travel. The “final” position of the swept shape can be found as direction.Unit * result.Distance

Just in case anyone else just wants to skip to the learning part.

it would be cool if you add cylindercast
like

cframe : CFrame, 
diameter : number, 
height : number, 
direction : Vector3, 
params : RaycastParams

you know car randomly fails when you put part on it?
also i’m not expert at coding

Hey um there is a bug with shapecasts where if you pass an incorrect instance such as workspace:Shapecast(workspace.Model) it will crash your game.

5 minutes of work gone

Is there an ETA on margins for shapecasting? It’s been a year and this is extremely important

if we have shapecasts now then why not save us the time of raycasting 10 times
