.Touched not accurate at all

[Mythamanx (Myth)]

Ok so I’ve been having this godawful issue in my game for the past couple of days, and I still have no Idea how to fix it. Basically, what my script is, is that when the cannonball is touched, spawn an explosion at the position at the cannonball. For some reason, it’s getting the position of where the cannonball was like a quarter of a second ago. If you want my code, here:

			c.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
				
				if Hit.Parent:IsA("Accessory") then return end
				if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
				if Hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
				
				if not Hit:IsDescendantOf(SpecifiedUnit.Parent) and TouchDebounce == false then
					
					TouchDebounce = true
					
					local Explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
					Explosion.ExplosionType = Enum.ExplosionType.NoCraters
					Explosion.Position = c.Position
					Explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
					Explosion.BlastRadius = 5
					Explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
					Explosion.BlastPressure = 0
					
					local SoundPart = Instance.new("Part")
					SoundPart.CanCollide = false
					SoundPart.Parent = game.Workspace
					SoundPart.Anchored = true
					SoundPart.Transparency = 1
					SoundPart.Name = "Sound"
					SoundPart.Size = Vector3.new(.05,.05,.05)
					SoundPart.Position = c.Position
					
					local Sound = game.ReplicatedStorage.Sounds.Explosion:Clone()
					Sound.Parent = SoundPart
					Sound:Play()
					
					Debris:AddItem(SoundPart,5)
					
					Explosion.Hit:Connect(function(Object)
						if Object.Parent then
							if Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
								Object.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 1
								CalculateDamage(SpecifiedUnit,Object.Parent)
							end
						end
					end)
				end
			end)

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Is the cannon ball network ownershipped to the player?
And is the touched event on the server?

Seems like the touched event is firing quite early, this is caused due to a replication issue. I also made a similar topic about the .Touched event, in which you can find solutions I used in the forum topic I created:

Touched event firing too early?

Hello there, I am having an issue where my projectiles kinda seem like they are firing their touched event too early. So I have projectiles flying from around 400 studs (Y-Axis Specifically) to 0-10 studs, this is done with the roblox physics engine with the part being un-anchored. I made it so that when the projectile hits the baseplate part called (“SpecificPart”) it prints outs its position. The issue I am having with this is that although the environment ranges from 0-10 studs on the Y Axis,…

The following solution that worked for me was this post in the forum:

Touched event firing too early?

This is a problem with roblox replication. Instead of using a .Touched event, I’d do something like: local connection connection = game:GetService"RunService".Heartbeat:Connect(function() local ray = Ray.new(part.Position, Vector3.new(0, -1, 0) * 3) local hitPart, hitPos = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray) if hitPart and hitPart.CanCollide then part.CFrame = hitPos part.Anchored = true connection:Disconnect() end end)

Why not do a .Hit event for the Explosion instance and deal damage based on how far away the character hit was from the explosion?
