  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to make it so when the player holds Z the player gets locked in the place and his character will face wherever the mouse is aiming at. And when the player releases the key a projectile would be created infront of the player and it would go forever until it hits something and when it does hits it plays VFX

  2. What is the issue?
    The issue is when I release the Z button the projectile is created in the middle of the place, instead of infront the player like i want, the particles work fine and also the animations.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I tried talking to some developers but they said they didnt know what to do.

local TW = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local CameraShaker = require(script.Parent.Parent.Modules.CameraShakeHandler)
local Utilities = require(script.Parent.Parent.Modules.Utils)

local Debounce = false
local Holding = false


local AnimationCache = {}

local function LoadAnimTrack(Hum, Animation, Data)
	if not AnimationCache[Animation] then
		AnimationCache[Animation] = Hum:LoadAnimation(Animation)
		AnimationCache[Animation].Looped = Data.Looped or false
		AnimationCache[Animation].Priority = Data.AnimationPriority or Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
		
	end
	return AnimationCache[Animation]
end

local RayParams = RaycastParams.new()
RayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include


local Skill = {}

Skill.Activate = function()
	local Character = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character
	local RootPart = Character.HumanoidRootPart
	local Hum = Character.Humanoid
	
	if Debounce == false then

It looks like it’s going in different directions but it isn’t spawning nor directed relevant to the character, which is because you’re using RootFX.WorldPosition as the reference point for both the projectile’s initial position and its direction. I think if you calculate a LookVector from the player’s HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector. Then, you can set the projectile’s CFrame with that, rather than with WorldPosition which isn’t relevant to the character as far as I can tell in the script.
