Laser pointer Length

[astral galleon]

First one is wrong. 2nd is right

[grand ember]

Cool

You may have enabled the Scale Length configuration

[astral galleon]

what

[astral galleon]

But that cv2 laser pointer

it doesnt work with Scale Length

[spring thorn]

Tf does scale length even do?

[astral galleon]

i have no idea

[ebon leaf]

You can make a raycast that starts at the laser position and the direction is the forward vector of the laser and use the distance as a length

[astral galleon]

ah i got it

[toxic hedge]

Scale Length scales the laser's visual length by the laser component's size.
If the laser component is 2x it's normal size and the laser length is 1m the laser visual will be 2m long.
I assumed you already did the racyast method to set the laser's length and just needed help fixing its length

why not use a distance chip??

[spring thorn]

A points to B in general, a raycast point forward and then outputs a distance from A(being the raycast) and B (it's hit position)

[modest hollow]

to be more specific, A's pivot to B's pivot, not realy 'general'. But ye

[spring thorn]

Ye U right, I forgot the word for allways lol

[dark wren]

is the laser pointer not always pointing at a certain object?

[spring thorn]

It is, although that object always changes, so if I were to point to object X, it would still say the distance to B, with a raycast the object that is hitting does get outputted, but it's distance is always going to be the distance from the raycast, to it's exact hit position, I'm Esl so if I might have written some errors, hope they aren't too big lol

[dark wren]

when you say the object always changes, do you mean that its not always pointing at the same thing? as in, it could be pointing at object a in one moment and object b the next?

[spring thorn]

Very much so

[dark wren]

ahhh i thought it was always pointing at the same thing

gotcha

[spring thorn]

It does do that with a distance chip,

[dark wren]

yeah i know
