Shotgun Issues, CFrame, BodyVelocity, etc

Help and Feedback Code Review
1

In my game, I have attempted to create a shotgun that will shoot in the direction your mouse is facing but NOT at a specific point. It is always at a specific elevation.

The issue I am having is when the player is moving the gun will shoot in random directions. Another issue I am having is any NPC’s that get hit by the bullet get damaged. And lastly, I don’t know a way to make the bullets stay at a perfect level.

-The goal of the shotgun is to shoot three wprojectiles ina stright line-

Code for Shotgun Bullet

local ShootPart = script.Parent
local Speed = 200
local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BodyVelocity.Parent = script.Parent
BodyVelocity.Velocity = ShootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Speed

ShootPart.Touched:Connect(function(TouchingPart, hit)
	ShootPart.CanTouch = false
	local Parent = TouchingPart.Parent
	local humanoid = Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

	if humanoid then
		humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health -50
	end
	ShootPart:Destroy()
end)

Code for Shotgun

local Creator
local Move = true
script.Parent.FireGun.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mouse)

Creator = player


local Shell = script.Parent.Handle.Shell:Clone()
Shell.Parent = workspace
Shell.Transparency = 0
Shell.Handle:Destroy()
Shell.Script.Enabled = true
Shell.CanCollide = true

local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1,0,1) * 1000 --you can change this to whatever number you see fit. I prefer this one
BV.Velocity = Shell.CFrame.lookVector * -20
BV.Parent = Shell

if script.Parent.AmountOfShots.Value < 5 then
	local Bullet = script.Parent.Bullet:Clone()

	Bullet.CanTouch = false
	Bullet.Transparency = 0
	Bullet.Parent = workspace
	Bullet.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet.Script.Enabled = true
	
	local Bullet2 = script.Parent.Bullet2:Clone()

	Bullet2.CanTouch = false
	Bullet2.Transparency = 0
	Bullet2.Parent = workspace
	Bullet2.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet2.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet2.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet2.Script.Enabled = true
	
	local Bullet3 = script.Parent.Bullet3:Clone()

	Bullet3.CanTouch = false
	Bullet3.Transparency = 0
	Bullet3.Parent = workspace
	Bullet3.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet3.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet3.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet3.Script.Enabled = true
	delay(0.2, function()
		Bullet.CanTouch = true
		Bullet2.CanTouch = true
		Bullet3.CanTouch = true
	end)
end	
local Front = script.Parent.Fire
--Front.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
--Front.Smoke.Enabled = true
wait(0.1)
--Front.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
--Front.Smoke.Enabled = false

end)

HELP!

Did you try putting the bullets on Massless?

I just did but this does not solve the problem of it shooting in random directions while the player walks

Try this and let me know if it works

local Creator
local Move = true
script.Parent.FireGun.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mouse)

Creator = player


local Shell = script.Parent.Handle.Shell:Clone()
Shell.Parent = workspace
Shell.Transparency = 0
Shell.Handle:Destroy()
Shell.Script.Enabled = true
Shell.CanCollide = true
local ElevatedY =  10 -- or Shell.Position.y --change to anything you want :D
local newPos = Shell.CFrame.LookVector
newPos = Vector3.new(newPos.X, ElevatedY, newPos.Z)



local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge) --you can change this to whatever number you see fit. I prefer this one
BV.Velocity = newPos * -20
BV.P = 10000
BV.Parent = Shell

if script.Parent.AmountOfShots.Value < 5 then
	local Bullet = script.Parent.Bullet:Clone()

	Bullet.CanTouch = false
	Bullet.Transparency = 0
	Bullet.Parent = workspace
	Bullet.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet.Script.Enabled = true
	
	local Bullet2 = script.Parent.Bullet2:Clone()

	Bullet2.CanTouch = false
	Bullet2.Transparency = 0
	Bullet2.Parent = workspace
	Bullet2.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet2.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet2.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet2.Script.Enabled = true
	
	local Bullet3 = script.Parent.Bullet3:Clone()

	Bullet3.CanTouch = false
	Bullet3.Transparency = 0
	Bullet3.Parent = workspace
	Bullet3.Name = "Bullet"
	Bullet3.Handel:Destroy()
	Bullet3.Trail.Enabled = true
	Bullet3.Script.Enabled = true
	task.delay(0.2, function()
		Bullet.CanTouch = true
		Bullet2.CanTouch = true
		Bullet3.CanTouch = true
	end)
end	
local Front = script.Parent.Fire
--Front.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
--Front.Smoke.Enabled = true
task.wait(0.1)
--Front.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
--Front.Smoke.Enabled = false
end)

You have solved the collision problem. I appreciate it a lot!

I should have been more descriptive but the Volocity you edited was the velocity for the empty shell that flys out, NOT the bullet/projectile :confused: Sorry

The velocity for the bullet is in the bullet itself :grimacing:

Are you asking if am I able to apply body velocity to the bullet? Because Yes and that is what I have done
