Hi!
How could I go about finding out if a player is on a slope/non flat ground?

you could raycast from your character to below the character and then check its normal by the RaycastResult.Normal

Does that work for terrain?
shy slate
the normal gives you a vector which says which direction the slope is facing
then you can just check its y component and done
shy slate
Does that work for terrain?
yes
open slate
local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(humanoidRootPart.Position,humanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0,10,0) - humanoidRootPart.Position,params)
shy slate
raycasting works for terrain as well i think so
shy slate
``local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(humanoidRootPart.Position,humanoidRootPart...
why -?
open slate
wdym why
open slate
To draw it from the player's position
open slate
humanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0,10,0) - humanoidRootPart.Position is the only time ive ever gotten a raycast to cast below a player which is weird
shy slate
you can just do humanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0, 2000, 0)
open slate
How come that works?
shy slate
your code subtracts your players position, then subracts it by 10, and then subtracts it again by your players position
you can just subtract it by a big arbitrary value like 2000
open slate
you can just subtract it by a big arbitrary value like 2000
Why do you need to do that to cast it from the player?
shy slate
so that we get a ray pointing downwards towards 2000
ah you want the slope if the player is touching it right?
open slate
yes
open slate
and how would i cast it at their feet since it casts at their torso right now
shy slate
in the RaycastParams add the whole character to the FilterInstanceDecendants
aka { character }
open slate
added that
shy slate
try
open slate
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character}
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist```the filter type is by default blacklist so you dont have to add that
open slate
oh cool lemme delete thst line
how far down would I want to raycast for jusut below the feet or should i just do trial and error til i get it
shy slate
oh wait i realised youre casting from your rootpart
just get the character's bounding box by :GetBoundingBox() and then half it (/2) and then subtract it from the rootpart, and then subtract it by 0.5 or 1
open slate
lemme give that a try
local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(humanoidRootPart.Position,player.Character:GetBoundingBox().Position / 2 - Vector3.new(0,1,0),params)
shy slate
bounding box is a position so you can remove the .Position
open slate
bounding box is a position so you can remove the .Position
It says its a cframe
shy slate
ohhh wait i just realized
dont divide it by 2
also dont remove .Position then
wait
instead of get bounding box
use :GetExtentsSize()
open slate
Instead of boundingbox?
shy slate
yes
