issues with firing mechanism

[gaunt vector]

So, i tried creating a wand tool, that would, when I hit e, select the Fireball spell from replicatedstorage, and then fire upon clicking. It seems to fire upon hitting e, but I have bigger issues. It doesnt "fire" them. The fireball model for the spell is in replicated, and it has a sphere in it. The sphere should shoot when I click after hitting e, right? Nope. it just spawns all the spheres at one location on the map. Screenshot atatched and script below. *(ignore most of the --text, it is just to let me know what stuff does incase I forget about the project for a while. For some reason, the script sent in 2 messages, wouldnt allow 1.

-- Inside the WandScript

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local selectedSpell = nil

local function selectSpell(spellName)
selectedSpell = spellName
print("Selected Spell:", selectedSpell) -- Debugging line
end

local function fireSpell()
if selectedSpell then
print("Firing Spell:", selectedSpell) -- Debugging line

    local fireballModel = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(selectedSpell)

    if fireballModel and fireballModel:IsA("Model") then
        print("Found Fireball model:", fireballModel.Name)  -- Debugging line

        local fireball = fireballModel:Clone()
        fireball.Parent = workspace

        local wandPosition = tool.Handle.Position
        local direction = (mouse.Hit.p - wandPosition).unit
        local velocity = direction * 500  -- Adjust the speed as needed

-- Set the initial position of the fireball at the wand
local initialPosition = wandPosition + direction * fireball.PrimaryPart.Size.Z * 0.5
fireball:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(initialPosition))
fireball:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(fireball:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() * CFrame.new(0,0,-5))
fireball.PrimaryPart.Velocity = velocity -- Use the velocity property of the primary part

        fireball.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit:IsA("Player") then
                hit:TakeDamage(10)  -- Adjust the damage as needed
            end
            fireball:Destroy()
        end)

        spawn(function()
            wait(5)  -- Adjust the time before disappearing as needed
            if fireball:IsA("Model") and fireball.Parent then
                fireball:Destroy()
            end
        end)
    else
        print("Fireball not found in ReplicatedStorage. Selected Spell:", selectedSpell)  -- Debugging line
    end
end

end

mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
if key:lower() == "e" then
-- Pressing "E" every time selects the Fireball spell and immediately fires it with a click
selectSpell("Fireball") -- Assuming the tool in ReplicatedStorage is named "Fireball"
fireSpell()
end
end)

check if you actually set the primary part of the model

in replicated storage

[gaunt vector]

wdym

[little depot]

click the fireball model

[gaunt vector]

ok

[little depot]

go to properties

did you set the primary part

[gaunt vector]

yes, it is sphere

[little depot]

honestly if you are working with projectiles dont use models

[gaunt vector]

that worked. it launched

but

[little depot]

it didnt damage?

[gaunt vector]

it fires when i hit e, instead of selecting the spell and then waiting to fire until i click. and it did no damage

[little depot]

alright so the reason it did no damage is models dont have a touched event

set it to the primarypart which is your sphere

[gaunt vector]

set a touched event to the primary?

also, it doesnt despawn after 5 seconds like it should

[little depot]

change fireball.Touched to fireball.PrimaryPart.Touched

dont you have your output open roblox should already be pointing out these errors

[gaunt vector]

i do have output but i didnt see that

[little depot]

is it working rn

the spell

[gaunt vector]

no

heres my current code, and its just dropping again, even with primary part set to Sphere

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local selectedSpell = nil

local function selectSpell(spellName)
    selectedSpell = spellName
    print("Selected Spell:", selectedSpell)  -- Debugging line
end

local function fireSpell()
    if selectedSpell then
        print("Firing Spell:", selectedSpell)  -- Debugging line

        local fireballModel = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(selectedSpell)

        if fireballModel and fireballModel:IsA("Model") then
            print("Found Fireball model:", fireballModel.Name)  -- Debugging line

            local fireball = fireballModel:Clone()
            fireball.Parent = workspace

            local wandPosition = tool.Handle.Position
            local direction = (mouse.Hit.p - wandPosition).unit
            local velocity = direction * 50  -- Adjust the speed as needed

            fireball:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(wandPosition))  -- Set initial position
            fireball.Velocity = velocity  -- Use the model's velocity property

            fireball.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
                if hit:IsA("Player") then
                    hit:TakeDamage(10)  -- Adjust the damage as needed
                end
                fireball:Destroy()
            end)

            spawn(function()
                wait(5)  -- Adjust the time before disappearing as needed
                if fireball:IsA("Model") and fireball.Parent then
                    fireball:Destroy()
                end
            end)
        else
            print("Fireball not found in ReplicatedStorage. Selected Spell:", selectedSpell)  -- Debugging line
        end
    end
end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(fireSpell)

mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
    if key:lower() == "e" then
        selectSpell("Fireball")  -- Assuming the tool in ReplicatedStorage is named "Fireball"
    end
end)

heres the output: Velocity is not a valid member of Model "Workspace.Fireball"

[little depot]

models dont have velocity

change it to fireball.PrimaryPart

[gaunt vector]

change which one

[little depot]

the line where you set the velocity

[gaunt vector]

also, even after unequipping the wand, it still shoots when i click.

[little depot]

sorry Im on mobile

[gaunt vector]

its ok

[little depot]

also change Mouse.Button1Down to tool.Activated

[gaunt vector]

so now, when i fire, it just dissapears after showing upon the wand for a split second instead of firing...

sorry for how much i need help.

it doesnt like fly off the wand

just blips

nvm, go that fixed, but how about the fact that it does no damage??

FIXED IT

Thank you for ll the help Veulem!!!

[little depot]

ah I was afk, turns out you solved it on your own
