Problem with Raycasting

ashysic · October 3, 2024, 12:51pm

My very first post .I have problem with raycasting while using bodyvelocity .Raycasting starts fine at the start but then gets stretched at the last position … How do i fix this ? Since it’s a rotating while moving skill i guess raycasting need to work till animation stops ,otherwise you may not deal damage .I’m using RaycastingHitboxv4 module .

Wrong category. Move to #help-and-feedback:scripting-support
Nobody can help you without seeing your code.
Stop typing spaces before punctuation symbols, it’s not correct. Type space AFTER punctuation.
Because such end of sentance
.Is not good.

It’s better to learn how to write posts from start than being surprised with punishment for 5-6 posts taken down for such things…

Anyways, as I said above, to hep you with your problem, we need to see your code. Function which uses problematic raycasting…

EDIT: use ``` before and after your code to format it correctly, like this:

This text will be formated like code.

Also you can use this button to make the same, but select all code before.

I think its got something to do with the handle. The animation seems to stop very fast at the end. Try making the animation fade out more longer?

ashysic · October 3, 2024, 2:46pm

I tried but no luck. I think, it’s module itself , because it creates rays from one point to another(LastPosition) and when i spin (during animation) it creates full circle of rays but i’m not sure module is scripted to account movement (bodyvelocity in my case), so it doesn’t keep up or update with movement.

ashysic · October 3, 2024, 5:51pm

So, made animation longer(X3) and swaped body velocity with just movement . Looks better but still not sure . It kinda stays behind on player. I read somewhere you can update rays in front of you. Can you ?? If anyone have done similar skill, share your thoughts please. I’m burned out for now.
