Hi, I’m trying to use raycast to basically detect whether the player’s mouse hits the delete button which is a surfacegui on the object.
local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.PlayerSpaces.AreasAvailable:FindFirstChild(tostring(Player.PlotClaimed.Value)).Objects:GetChildren()}
local ray = game.Workspace:Raycast(Player.Character.RightHand.Position, (mouse.Hit.Position - Player.Character.RightHand.Position)*100, Params)
The grills are loaded based on prior placements by the player via datastore which means I can’t directly refer to the surfacegui. What I need assistance for is how would I refer to a model to actually work for FilterDescendantsInstances?
I am confused. Why have a ray cast when you can make a button? I don’t think a ray is necessary.
But if you really want to use ray cast why don’t you loop through a folder where you put the grill and see if they have a child which is a surfacegui then insert all these in a table then use whitelist / include for raycast filter type and yeah. Can’t provide script example since I am on mobile sorry.
Edit : or you can do something like if ray.hit is a surfacegui or something if it exists
I’m trying to apply raycast because the delete button (trash icon) only appears when your inventory is open, which is client-side. When the inventory is closed, the button is not visible.
The issue is that the objects (models) you see infront (6 ice color looking ones) are cloned from ReplicatedStorage. I would like to use a filter for these models but I’m not able to because it doesn’t refer to any of the children parts under it so I was wondering if there was any efficient solution to basically address this without having to spam for loops or remote events.
Just wondering if you remove get descendants or get children and just keep the path to object wouldn’t it still work? I am sorry I kinda forgot how ray filters works.
