Making a combat game with ranged weapons? FastCast may be the module for you!

Jeah, don’t fire from the client, it won’t work then.

@Paintertable Using the system itself from the clientside causes no problems for it, it’s designed to work on both (in fact, you can see evidence of this on the if statement located at line 140 and ending at line 144. I don’t know if this is what you meant to say or not, but I’ll bring it up just in case.

if RunService:IsClient() then
	targetEvent = RunService.RenderStepped
else
	targetEvent = RunService.Heartbeat
end

My current plan for integrating FastCast is to set up a caster object for each individual ability and having every entity (NPC, player, etc.) that uses that ability use that specific caster object .

@ChefJustice Yep! This is one way to go about it. Do be careful when tracking which NPC/Player has used the ability! The same LengthChanged and RayHit functions will fire for everyone if you implement it this way. I recommend instantiating a caster every time the ability is referenced so that each NPC/Player has their own, unless you are comfortable with handling that event call differentiation on your own. There are pros and cons to both, but otherwise there will be no negative impact in terms of performance.
