what shooting is arsenal using?
is it a raycast or a clone?

#2

I don’t understand what you mean with clone, can you elaborate?

#3

i mean a part that is cloned…

#4

I highly doubt it’ll be cloning a part and moving it, that wouldn’t be a stable or efficient way to handle the shooting. I haven’t played that much so someone else might be able to confirm, but I’m almost certain 90% of the weapons are hitscan, which is simply raycasting and dealing damage instantly.

but when in three graphics there is a bullet trail

#6

They can just use raycasting to know where to shoot, and then for visuals they can just smootly cover that distance with the bullet part.

#7

This can be added in afterwards, since you already know the path of the bullet. The trail is a purely visual effect, but the raycast itself isn’t a physical object. For weapons where you can see the bullet travel before it hits, this is a combination of cframe, lerping and/or extra visual effects.

I’d recommend using the FastCast open-source module. You can use it straight away in your games, for free, or just read the code & use that to build your own knowledge and understanding.
