Look at the code and the last comment to make it clearer to you
function create_bullet()
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Name = "bullet"
bullet.Position = tool.ShootPartStart.Position
bullet.CanCollide = false
return bullet
end
function send(finish_Pos) -- finish_pos is position on mouse click
local bullet = create_bullet()
bullet.Parent = game.Workspace.BulletTrash
local start_Pos = tool.ShootPartStart.Position
-- moving bullet along a straight trajectory from start_Pos to finish_Pos
end
I’m sorry for confusing you. Forget about beam. I just want the bullet to fly from the starting position to the position where I clicked the mouse. I probably need to do something with the velocity of the bullet, but unfortunately I don’t understand it well
i dont have studio open rn so i cant write code for it, but you could make it so when u click the mouse first it gets your CFrame and then the mouse.Hit and then u can do CFrame:LookAt(mouse.Hit) and then u can use tween, or vector force, or whatever, but that should work
When you create a bullet, instead of setting JUST the bullet’s position, set it’s CFrame to CFrame.new(tool.ShootPartStart.Position, finish_pos)
The second argument of CFrame.new() is the direction it is facing, so now you have a bullet facing it’s end position.
Now, you can just run bullet.CFrame *= CFrame.new(0, 0, -speed) every heartbeat. Finally, you should probably check if the bullet is too far from the gun’s barrel (using magnitude), at which point you would call :Destroy() on it.
If my writing is difficult to understand, apologies, you can reply to me and I’ll fix it
local gun = script.Parent
local re = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = nil
local mouse = nil
local connection = nil
local debounce = false
local function onActivated()
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
re:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position)
wait(0.5)
debounce = false
end
end
gun.Equipped:Connect(function()
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
connection = gun.Activated:Connect(onActivated)
end)
gun.Unequipped:Connect(function()
player = nil
mouse = nil
connection:Disconnect()
end)
heres the server
local tool = script.Parent
local re = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local player = nil
local mouse = nil
local connection = nil
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local debounce = false
function create_bullet()
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Name = "bullet"
bullet.Position = tool.ShootPartStart.Position
bullet.CanCollide = false
return bullet
end
local function send(player,finish_Pos) -- finish_pos is position on mouse click
local bullet = create_bullet()
bullet.Parent = game.Workspace.BulletTrash
bullet.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(bullet.Position, finish_Pos)
local start_Pos = tool.ShootPartStart.Position
local Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment",bullet)
Attachment.Name = "Attachment"
local Tween = TweenService:Create(
bullet,TweenInfo.new(0.2,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false),
{Position = finish_Pos}
)
Tween:Play()
-- moving bullet along a straight trajectory from start_Pos to finish_Pos
end
re.OnServerEvent:Connect(send)
Don’t use tween it will travel faster if the distance is larger or slower if the distance is short. Instead, you can use Final Position = StartingPos + velocity*Time
If you threw a ball and it traveled 10 meters in 1 second that would look natural but if the same ball traveled 100000 meters in 1 second it would zoom past. My point is that the time staying still will result in the object moving at different speeds
local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local fireRE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Fire")
local localPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = localPlayer:GetMouse()
local gun = script.Parent
local function fire(action, inputState, inputObject)
if action == "Fire" then
if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
fireRE:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position, gun)
end
end
end
end
gun.Equipped:Connect(function()
cas:BindAction("Fire", fire, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)
end)
gun.Unequipped:Connect(function()
cas:UnbindAction("Fire")
end)
in a server script:
local fireRE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Fire")
local bulletSpeed = 600
-- you can change this
local fireFunction
local function cast(mouseHitPos: Vector3, playerTool: Tool)
local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
bullet.Name = "bullet"
bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(playerTool.ShootPartStart.Position, mouseHitPos)
bullet.CanCollide = false
bullet.Anchored = true
bullet.Parent = workspace
fireFunction = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
bullet.CFrame *= CFrame.new(0, 0, -bulletSpeed * deltaTime)
if (playerTool.ShootPartStart.Position - bullet.Position).Magnitude > 500 then
bullet:Destroy()
end
end)
end
fireRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mouseHitPos, playerTool)
cast(mouseHitPos, playerTool)
end)
no idea about the performance honestly, but it works fine on my computer (which, mind you, is not very powerful)
there MUST be a remoteEvent named “Fire” in game.ReplicatedStorage
