To add spread to a raycasting weapon, simply add a math.random() on the finishing position.

local SPREAD = 1000 -- set some value for it
local spreadPosition = Vector3.new(
    FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.X + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000,
    FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.Y + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000,
    FirePoint.WorldCFrame.Position.Z + math.random(-SPREAD, SPREAD)/1000
)

I reckon there was a better method.

Looks like parent argument of Instance.new() is here again. Do not use it.

PSA: Don't use Instance.new() with parent argument

I’ve discovered a pretty bad performance issue in one of top games that has to do with Instance.new and wanted to write about this, since this is not obvious unless you know the system inside out. Tthere are several ways to create a ROBLOX object in Lua: local obj = Instance.new(‘type’); fill obj fields local obj = Instance.new(‘type’, parent); fill obj fields local obj = util.Create(‘type’, { field1 = value1, … }) If you care at all about performance, please only use the first option - I wi…
