.Touched event client offset

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everyone!

Lately I’ve been experimenting with projectiles in studio. I use BodyVelocity to move then and .Touched to detect if they touch any of the specified targets.

This is the code I wrote:

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, arg)
	local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace.Effects)
	part.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	part.Shape = "Ball"
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position, arg.p)
	local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", part)
	bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	bv.Velocity = part.CFrame.lookVector*100
	part.Touched:Connect(function(hitPart)
		if hitPart.Name == "Wall" then
			part.Anchored = true
			bv:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end)

The event is fired successfully, but the problems come when the projectile created hits it’s target.

This is how it looks on the client when the projectile hits something:

And this is how it looks on the server when the projectile hits something:

I tried raycasting to determine the exact position of where it should be when the projectile touches something, then move the projectile to the hit point of the ray, but it doesn’t always work. Are there any better ways to create and move projectiles?

Any suggestions or possible fixes are welcomed.

Thank you for taking your time to read my post!

That’s probably a network ownership issue. Try setting the network owner of the projectile to the server (or to the client who fired it), and see what changes.

Just tried, now parts on the client look like this:

and parts on the server like this:
