hand gesture recognition?

[limpid drift]

is there any way to tell when a player closes their hand, does a pointer finger and does a thumbs up?

Not naturally as of now, but some users have been semi-able to detect it by using Raycast, I think @fiery summit may know more about it

i know about that i think doesnt it use sending a ray cast off of hand gestures

when your not doing a pointer finger it will default to you

and when you are it ray casts to what you are pointing at

ive debated on that i just wanted to know if there was somehow a more natural way to do it

No

By raycasting at very specific positions and angles around a players hand, you can detect their hand gesture

ohh

then i accidentally descovered something weird

ill look into that

I'm wondering if your raycast is starting before/at the hand and only detect it while it's open. I remember there being a difference between the two states, you used to be able to block enemy projectiles with a pointing hand

Pointing removes it "hit" collision, but not its collider.

This means damaging projectiles, swords, or Ray/Spherecasts & Overlap Spheres will ignore the Hand

No idea then 😅
