Weapon not shooting from the right place

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Alright, so I’m making a weapon for my game using FastCast, the problem is that it doesn’t even shoot from the origin.

I used an attachment as the origin and parented it to the weapon, but for some reason the attachment doesn’t change position so the rays are still firing from the attachment’s initial position, and I don’t know how to fix it.

Here’s a video of the bug:
https://gyazo.com/265a3359794d840d49f9e6be1679f561

Here’s the code:

local tool = script.Parent
local Staff = tool:WaitForChild("Staff")
local ShootFrom = Staff:WaitForChild("ShootFrom")
local plrMouse
local activated = nil

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:Wait() end

local char = player.Character
local UpperTorso = char:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local ConnectedM6D = UpperTorso:WaitForChild("ToolGrip")
local toolPart1 = tool:WaitForChild("BodyAttach")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Modules = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Modules")
local ConnectM6D = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ConnectM6D")
local DisconnectM6D = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DisconnectM6D")

local ProxyGS = require(Modules:WaitForChild("ProxyGS"))
local staff = ProxyGS.new(tool, 30, ConnectedM6D, toolPart1)

local FireOrigin = ShootFrom.WorldPosition
local FireDirection
local FireSpeed = 150
local FireGravity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local FireDist = 500
local CanPierce = false
local BulletObj = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("cross")

local container = Instance.new("Folder", workspace)
container.Name = "StaffContainer"

local FireSettings = RaycastParams.new()
FireSettings.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
FireSettings.FilterDescendantsInstances = {container, char}

local holdAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
holdAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5626845701"

local hold = humanoid:LoadAnimation(holdAnim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	print(mouse)
	staff:ConnectToTorso()
	ConnectM6D:FireServer(tool, 30, ConnectedM6D, toolPart1)
	
	hold:Play()
	
	tool.Activated:Connect(function()
		
		if not activated  then
			
			activated = true
			
			plrMouse = mouse
			print(FireOrigin)
			
			if plrMouse then
				FireDirection = (plrMouse.Hit.Position - FireOrigin).Unit
				staff:FireRay(FireOrigin, FireSpeed, FireGravity, FireDirection, FireDist, BulletObj, FireSettings, CanPierce, container)
			end
			wait(.5)
			
			activated = false
			
		end
	end)
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	
	staff:DisconnectFromTorso()
	DisconnectM6D:FireServer(tool, 30, ConnectedM6D, toolPart1)
	
	hold:Stop()
	
end)

And here’s the modulescript I’m using which is based off of FastCast:

function ProxyGS:ShouldPierce()
	
	local function CanRayPierce(cast, rayResult, segmentVelocity)
		local hitPart = rayResult.Instance
		local hitPoint = rayResult.Position
		local normal = rayResult.Normal
		local material = rayResult.Material
	
		if material == Enum.Material.Plastic or material == Enum.Material.Ice or material == Enum.Material.Glass or material == Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic then
			
			if hitPart.Transparency >= 0.5 then
				.
				return true 
			end
		end
		return false
end
	
	
end

I’ve never had this problem before with the other tools I’ve made, so I’m not sure how to fix it

Help would be appreciated

I don’t see the FireOrigin variable being updated, maybe have it so that it updates in the loop.

Holy smokes, that actually worked.

Thanks for your help
