I want to make a laser extending from a little cylinder to a longer one, something like what I represented below:
If you get what I am saying, I’m trying to replicate something like how the editor scales cylinders:
Your best bet is utilizing a raycast
the raycast should shoot from the flat heads of the cylnder to determine the end size or from the red part surface?
depending how you do it you would use the the result of the raycast(s) to determine the xy (or xz rather?) size of the cyl
i am not able to assist any further at the moment as i am not at my main comp perhaps someone else can assist further
Aren’t raycasts a bit performance intensive if I use them over 96 times in around 3 seconds? Plus since the cylinder is a mesh with an empty inside, wouldn’t the raycast not detect it?
Using some vector math you can make that easily
local lenght = (part1.Position - part2.Position).magnitude -- the distance between the parts
local middle = (part1.Position + part2.Position)/2 -- middle point
local Goals = {
Position = middle
Size = Vector3.new(lenght/2,radius,radius)
}
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Laser,Tweeninfo.new("[[ fill this the way you like]]"),Goals)
part2.Position can be substituted with ray.Position
