Raycast trouble

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to fire raycasts out at different angles and only one the Left one is working

this is what I mean:

when it should look like:

image925×617 52 KB

I have tried to figure this out but I can’t

here is my code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Part = Instance.new("Part")
Part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
Part.Transparency = 0
Part.Size = Vector3.new(.1, .1, 0)
Part.Anchored = true
Part.CanCollide = false

local RaycastDrawnLines = {
	Left = Part:Clone(),
	LeftDiagonal = Part:Clone(),
	Front = Part:Clone(),
	RightDiagonal = Part:Clone(),
	Right = Part:Clone()
}
table.foreach(RaycastDrawnLines, function(_, Value)
	Value.Parent = workspace
end)

local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {
	Character
}

local UpdateRaycastLine = function(Name, Raycast)
	RaycastDrawnLines[Name].Size = Vector3.new(.1, .1, Raycast.Distance)
	RaycastDrawnLines[Name].CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position:Lerp(Raycast.Position, .5), Raycast.Position)
end

local Update = function(Length)
	local origin = HumanoidRootPart.Position
	local direction = -HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector * Length
	local Left = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)
	
	local direction2 = (-HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector + HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector) * Length
	local LeftDiagonal = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction2, raycastParams)
	
	local direction3 = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Length
	local Front = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction3, raycastParams)
	
	local direction4 = (HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector + HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector) * Length
	local RightDiagonal = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction4, raycastParams)
	
	local direction5 = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.RightVector * Length
	local Right = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction5, raycastParams)
	
	if Left then
		UpdateRaycastLine("Left", Left)
	elseif not Left then
		RaycastDrawnLines.Left.Position = Vector3.new(0, workspace.FallenPartsDestroyHeight, 0)
	elseif LeftDiagonal then
		UpdateRaycastLine("LeftDiagonal", LeftDiagonal)
	elseif not LeftDiagonal then
		RaycastDrawnLines.LeftDiagonal.Position = Vector3.new(0, workspace.FallenPartsDestroyHeight, 0)
	elseif Front then
		UpdateRaycastLine("Front", Front)
	elseif not Front then
		RaycastDrawnLines.Front.Position = Vector3.new(0, workspace.FallenPartsDestroyHeight, 0)
	elseif RightDiagonal then
		UpdateRaycastLine("RightDiagonal", RightDiagonal)
	elseif not RightDiagonal then
		RaycastDrawnLines.RightDiagonal.Position = Vector3.new(0, workspace.FallenPartsDestroyHeight, 0)
	elseif Right then
		UpdateRaycastLine("Right", Right)
	elseif not Right then
		RaycastDrawnLines.Right.Position = Vector3.new(0, workspace.FallenPartsDestroyHeight, 0)
	end
	
	return {
		Left = Left,
		LeftDiagonal = LeftDiagonal,
		Front = Front,
		RightDiagonal = RightDiagonal,
		Right = Right
	}
end

while true do
	Update(100)
	task.wait()
end

Do the other line parts even exist?
Because if they fail even once and get sent to the fallen parts destroy height it would probably get deleted and never reappear, and it wouldnt work for those directions anymore

#3

You should try attaching actual parts to the forehead then turn their cancollide off and make them invisible
script it so that the parts attach to every players forehead and multiply
then script them to work as ray casts

scripting line parts will clog the script because it will glitch trying to create multiple rays

#4

Needs to be:

if Left then
     -- do for left
else
     -- do for not left
end

if LeftDiagonal then
     -- do for left diagonal
else
     -- do for not left diagonal
end

-- ... and so on
