Hello developers! I hope you are all having an amazing day. Today, there is a depreciated script that I want to turn into a new script:
local module = {}
function module.new(startPosition, startDirection)
local maxDistance = startDirection.magnitude
local direction = startDirection.unit
local lastPosition = startPosition
local distance = 0
local ignore = {}
local hit, position, normal
repeat
local ray = Ray.new(lastPosition, direction * (maxDistance - distance))
hit, position, normal = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, ignore, false, true)
if hit then
if not hit.CanCollide then
table.insert(ignore, hit)
end
end
distance = (startPosition - position).magnitude
lastPosition = position
until distance >= maxDistance - 0.1 or (hit and hit.CanCollide)
return hit, position, normal
end
return module
How can I make FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList not depreciated? If you can help, please let me know. Thanks, WE!
The things it told me to do on the article didn’t make sense.
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantInstance = { —array of parts you want the rat to ignore. }
params.FilterType = Enum.FilterType.Blacklist —I think it’s called FilterType. This will make the ray to ignore whatever’s part’s that’s inside the table.
local result = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin,direction,params)
if result then
local object = result.Instance
— do stuffs with it.
end
You can use the workspace:Raycast method. which isn’t deprecated, and is also more efficient in my opinion, for the ignore list you can create a new RaycastParams object and specify it accordingly
Also side note, I believe you meant to say deprecated not depreciated
local module = {}
function module.new(startPosition, startDirection)
local maxDistance = startDirection.magnitude
local direction = startDirection.unit
local lastPosition = startPosition
local distance = 0
local ignore = {}
local hit, position, normal
repeat
local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantInstance = {}
params.FilterType = Enum.FilterType.Blacklist --I think it’s called FilterType. This will make the ray to ignore whatever’s part’s that’s inside the table.
local result = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin,direction,params)
if result then
local object = result.Instance
--do stuffs with it.
end
distance = (startPosition - position).magnitude
lastPosition = position
until distance >= maxDistance - 0.1 or (hit and hit.CanCollide)
return hit, position, normal
end
return module
It seems like you’re having trouble with understanding the code. For integrating the workspace Raycast function in your code, you will have to do something like this:
local hit, position, normal
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {} --Insert your objects you want to ignore in this table
repeat
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(lastPosition, direction * (maxDistance - distance), raycastParams) --Pass in the raycast Params in this method.
--Raycast Result returns a raycast Result, which has different properties
-- like raycastResult.Position, raycastResult.Instance, but first check if its not nil.
until distance >= maxDistance - 0.1 or (hit and hit.CanCollide)
return hit, position, normal
And like @ItzMeZeus_IGotHacked mentioned, you need to use some logic while implementing this and if there are any errors you face after that, then you can post it here.
I just want to say, if you are just going to copy paste all that we are giving as an example. Then sorry I am unable to help you, unless you actually use your logic because I am not here for fixing your script totally, as it won’t help you with anything.
That is the reason we have provided you with examples, so you can understand it and go on with implementing it on your own. As for that error, its just that repeat loop is probably running infinitely as there is nothing being set for the distance or hit.
