Hello!
I made a weapon that shoots bullets when triggered by the mouse. The main problem I’m having is bullet detection. I tried a lot of things and some worked but it was really bad at detecting the CharacterModel parts. The thing is that the gun has spread so I need it as accurate as possible when it finds something. Im using raycast to make it.
A script example would be nice thanks!
Use a .Touched function so the part detects the bullet when it touches it.
I tried .Touched but whenever the model wasn’t moving it wouldn’t detect well…
raycasting, touched function for bullets is horrible
I’m currently using raycasting but all my methods are working terrible sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn’t print any detections. So I’m trying to get a specific method to do it.
raycasting is very accurate, could it be because you are not casting the ray properly?
Probably so should I send an example?
yes that would be very helpful
local LookRay = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, Bullet.CFrame.lookVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local LookRay2 = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, -Bullet.CFrame.lookVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local SideRay = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, Bullet.CFrame.RightVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local SidekRay2 = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, -Bullet.CFrame.RightVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local UpRay = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, Bullet.CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local UpRay2 = Ray.new(Bullet.Position, -Bullet.CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
local Rays = {
LookRay;
LookRay2;
SideRay;
SidekRay2;
UpRay;
UpRay2;
}
while true do
wait(0.001)
for i,SelectedRay in pairs(Rays) do
local hit, pos = workspace:FindPartOnRay(SelectedRay)
if hit then
print("Found not you lol")
Bullet:Destroy()
print(hit.Parent.Name)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") and Landed == false then
Landed = true
hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Health = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Health - SettingsModule.Damage
print("Bullet gone")
break
end
end
end
end
This is one of my older ways I did it
Another way I tried was by doing them one by one with these
local HF, PF = workspace:FindPartOnRay(FrontRay);
local HB, PB = workspace:FindPartOnRay(BackRay);
local HR, PR = workspace:FindPartOnRay(RightRay);
local HL, PL = workspace:FindPartOnRay(LeftRay);
local HU, PU = workspace:FindPartOnRay(UpRay);
local HD, PD = workspace:FindPartOnRay(DownRay);
this is interesting, are you firing rays when you click a mousebutton? and where are the bullets located, is there a gun?
Yes it’s an automatic weapon so when I hold down my mouse it shoots where the mouse is with little spread. I parent the bullets into a folder named “Debris” inside of workspace
ray.new(origin,direction)
you set the direction to only 0.2 studs , which is a very short number, is this intentional?
I sent it to add with the Vectors of the bullet which I guess yeah is only 0.2 studs so yes it was intentional but I couldn’t figure out a good size
Also here is a video of it
when you aim at the dummy from that distance, does it actually hit?
Theres usually a little gap between the dummy and the bullet sometimes it does damage and sometimes not
one problem i see is
Ray.new(Bullet.Position, -Bullet.CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))
you specified a origin and a direction, but your direction is literally only 0.2 studs long, multiply it with the amount of studs you want your ray to travel
Ray.new(Bullet.Position, (-Bullet.CFrame.UpVector + Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,0.2))*RANGE)
Interesting!
Ill try it give me a minute to rewrite the Cast
also the most important thing i just noticed, you are launching the bullets at the enemy and then casting a ray to see if it touched right?
Yes it’s launching to my mouse and checking simultaneously
