Player flinging when dashing onto a collidable part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The question/problem is pretty straightforward, when the player dashes onto a collidable part it flings them:


I tried raycasting like:

local raycast = workspace:Raycast(head.Position, head.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,-2), raycastParams)

Im not entirely sure on that one but you get the point.

Thanks!!

My idea would be to raycast ahead of the player, and if there is a part in the way, only dash the distance up to that part so that the player doesn’t mash up onto it and fling.

Yes i tried that and it didnt work.

The direction you are putting for the raycast is not relative to the character, it will always point -2 on the Z axis. You need to point the raycast the same direction that the character is. Only way I know how to do this is CFrame:ToWorldSpace()

Isnt it putting it relative to the player head?

Yes the position is relative, but the direction isn’t. It’s always going to point in the same direction, but it will originate from the head.

Isn’t that putting it relative to the world space?
In my understanding, we want it relative to the player.

Maybe you mean
CFrame:ToObjectSpace()

Nevermind.

CFrame:ToWorldSpace(Vector3) will add the Vector3 onto the CFrame in local space (factoring in rotation aswell) and return that position in world space.

I tried

head.CFrame.LookVector * 100

And it works but its not what i expect, i tween the character -2 studs but i dont know about CFrame since you can’t use CFrames in tweening

Because i can’t just do
head.CFrame.LookVector * -2

One problem, i cant set the world space to a position/vector3.

im kind of new to cframes so yeah. Sorry about that

Hey!
I have been testing things out and this worked out:

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position, HRP.CFrame * HRP.CFrame.LookVector*1, raycastParams)

But another problem, it only checks one stud. So if i set it to 20 studs, it wont check the other studs (like 1-19) and only check 20, any solutions?

Edit: doing

HRP.CFrame.LookVector*500

Works but it detects too far. Is this 500 studs or is this like another thing that i have to calculate, but from my understandings its 500 studs.

Adjusting this a bit works! :smiley:

#13 
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hrp = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

print(hrp.CFrame.LookVector) --0, 0, -1

Multiplying by a scalar of 500 will increase the vector’s magnitude by a product of 500.

LookVector will always be a unit vector, using .Unit only helps when its like velocity or something.

Edit: Oops looks like you edited your post sorry.
