Hi! I’ve been trying to implement a raycast mechanic to my game so I entered to the forum to look for some help. I copied a script that supposedly worked (I saw the answers of the post) but when i try to implement it to my game I keep getting the same error over and over again: “Intersect is not a valid member of PhysicsService “PhysicsService””.
I am not too good at scripting and I’ve looked everywhere to see if someone else had the same problem but I couldn’t find anything.
This is my script, I wantet to detect if the raycast collided with an object:
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local startPoint = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local direction = Vector3.new(0, 0, -3.2)
local ray = Ray.new(startPoint, direction)
local hit, hitPosition, hitNormal = PhysicsService:Intersect(ray)
if hit then
print("Hit position:", hitPosition)
print("Hit normal:", hitNormal)
end
I would also like to excluce objects with certain names from the raycast detection, so if someone knows how to do that, it would help me a lot too.
This is my first post and I tried to be as clear as possible. I would be so happy if someone could help me
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Model}
raycastParams.IgnoreWater = true
local part = workspace.Part
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(part.Position, part.CFrame.LookVector * 50, raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
print("Object/terrain hit:", raycastResult.Instance:GetFullName())
print("Hit position:", raycastResult.Position)
print("Surface normal at the point of intersection:", raycastResult.Normal)
print("Material hit:", raycastResult.Material.Name)
else
print("Nothing was hit!")
end
I suggest you also take a look at RaycastParams, which can be used to modify the behavior of your Ray cast.
Oh, thank you very much! I’m sorry for not knowing it was not a valid code, I saw a post on the forum and copied what that code said. Sorry for asking dumb questions!
