How do I make lets say a projectile dissapear when it hits a part? Like when a bullet hits something in an fps it doesn’t bounce.

The easiest way to do that would be to use a .Touched event which then destroys the projectile.

Projectile.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
  Projectile:Destroy()
end)

The hard way would be to use rays to predict the point of collision. This would be the most accurate and visually pleasing method, but requires more code.

The methodology used in this guide gives a pretty good idea of what is required:

Modeling a projectile's motion

So recently @Maximum_ADHD posted this on twitter and through a series of events I was asked if I would post a tutorial showing how to do it. I’m not sure if this is exactly how Clone did it, but this is how I approached it. So to start off let’s cover the process that doing something like this would entail. Start with a position and velocity which we can use the above equations to find the projectile’s path. Find where this path intersects with in game geometry. Reflect the current velocity a…

Thank you! That really helps me.
