PFS gun bullet system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m currently working on a bullet script for my FPS gun but I’m running into some problems.

The way that I’m doing it now isn’t very smooth and doesn’t really look good.

code:

fireEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, MousePosition, BulletPosition)
	-- create bullet
	local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
	bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
	bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(BulletPosition, MousePosition)
	bullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, 1)
	bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	bullet.CanCollide = false
	bullet.Position = BulletPosition
	bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
	
	-- make bullet damage
	local damageScript = tool.System.Storage.DamageScript:Clone()
	damageScript.Parent = bullet
	
	-- shoot bullet
	local distance = (MousePosition - BulletPosition).Magnitude
	local speed = 500
	bullet.Velocity = bullet.CFrame.LookVector * speed
	Debris:AddItem(bullet, 0.5)
end)

The way that I’m trying to make it look is like the bullets in phantom force, DEADLINE or Blackhawk 5 rescue mission.

So if it smoothness that you want, I suggest instead of using physical parts for bullets, I would use tracers/beams.

-I mostly use beams for my guns and it is way smoother since it is just a flash-

If your not familiar with this method you can use this for reference.

Can you maybe explain how to implement this.
I’m really confused about the concept because there has to be a lot to take account to like placement of attachment, knowing when the beam has played once, …

I’m trying to make the bullets have physics like in phantom force, DEADLINE or Blackhawk 5 rescue mission.

#5

I’ve never played those games. Can you be specific what kind of physics?

#6

when you shoot long distance, they lose height / go down. so If you’re a sniper and you try to shoot long distance you have to aim a bit more up then where the target really is.

#7

Ok well then you would have to use a part. If your asking me, I suggest changing the transparency of the bullet to about 0.56, and changing the velocity to about 850 or so. Maybe also consider making the part a little bit skinnier and longer.

#8

Also, you could add a semi - white / greyish trail to the object.

#9

I tried changing the size and velocity but now for some reason the bullets won’t hit the player all the time.

#10

.Velocity is deprecated as it says on the wiki. I recommend using a FastCast module, it’s good for making FPS systems.

thanks, I’m normally not a person that likes to copy scripts but I just tried this and it works really well.

it is really complicated to make changes to though
