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

So ive been using fastcast for my fps game and just ran into this problem today ive tried anchoring and unanchoring, putting the bullet part position to 0,0,0 and turning on and off can collide, but the the bullet part still seems to be coming from under the map? has anyone else encountered this problem before? this all seems to have come completely out of the blue and there are no errors in the output so i really have no idea.

I remember seeing this problem before though I don’t remember where it was in community resources.

Without looking at the script I believe the issue is caused by the velocity inheritance because the view model is unanchored and so it’s still experiencing gravity though it may not be visible if the viewmodel is constantly being CFramed during renderstep which causes the bullet to be spawning down because of the high velocity going downwards.

Hopefully, I can find the other post where the guy has experienced the same problems.

Edit: Searching online I found this which confirms anchoring solved the problem but it’s not the exact post I was looking for:

Bullets not positioned correctly

I anchored the weapon, and that seems to have fixed the problem (it gave no notice that it may be falling, which is odd) thanks for all of your effort guys, this was helpful

Edit 2: Found the specific post in this other tutorial not resource

For anyone having issues with the raycast starting underneath the map or in odd spots, please refer to this post. TLDR; Anchor the rootPart of the viewmodel if you haven’t already.
