Vectorforce sometimes doesn't make my bullet go in the same direction where my gun is pointing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a test gun and I guess you can call it a bullet but when I shoot the bullet it doesn’t go in the direction of where the gun is pointing, sometimes it will but then sometimes it’ll go right of the gun or left

here is my script, its a server script that’s placed in the gun

I tried comparing the properties of my vectorforce and by making a new once inside a random part but cant figure out why its not moving in the direction of my gun

as you see here the “bullet” flies right

Your vectorForce is applying the force relative to the gun’s orientation. I think you’re expecting it to be applying based on the world.

VectorForce.RelativeTo = Enum.ActuatorRelativeTo.World

The reason I think you’re applying it based on the world is because you wrote:

VectorForce.Force = Hrp.CFrame.LookVector * 1500

You could alternatively change

VectorForce.Force = Hrp.CFrame.LookVector * 1500

to

VectorForce.Force = Vector3.new(0,0,-1)*1500 -- this vector might not be write depending on your Tool's orientation and attachment's orientation.

ohh ok I see, it works now, this is my first time using the vectorforce so I didn’t know I had to do that, thanks
