help with raycasting

[iron depot]

use raycast params and whitelist the players character only

[somber pebble]

how would i go about doing this in the code?

[iron depot]

        local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
        raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
        raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include

wait

ye

[iron depot]

this isnt a raycast?

workspace:RayCast

[somber pebble]

wdym the code that i got?

[iron depot]

U should always use workspace:Raycast, because Ray.new is deprecated, take a look on the forum

local rayOrigin = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local rayDirection = Vector3.new(0, -100, 0)

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection)

this is how u use raycast

i did i get to confused

[iron depot]

?

[somber pebble]

so on the

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

local function performRayCast()

local ray = Ray.new(
    player.Character.Head.Position,
    (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100
)

local position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character)

if player.Character then
    print(player.Name)
end

end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(performRayCast)

what do i change in this?

[iron depot]

u dont use ray.new or use work:FindPartOnRay use workspace:Raycast

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(player.Character.Head.Position,  (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100)

like this for u

and to see if it hit a part you do

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(player.Character.Head.Position,  (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100)

if raycastResult then
  local Hit = raycastResult.Instance
end

[somber pebble]

so like this

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

local function performRayCast()

local ray = workspace:Raycast(
    player.Character.Head.Position,
    (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100
)

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(player.Character.Head.Position,  (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100)

if raycastResult then
    local Hit = raycastResult.Instance
end

end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(performRayCast)

[iron depot]

not ur doing two raycasts remove local ray =

keep local raycastresult and below that

[somber pebble]

did i do it right?

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

local function performRayCast()

local raycastresult = workspace:Raycast(
    player.Character.Head.Position,
    (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100
)

local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(player.Character.Head.Position,  (mouse.Hit.p - player.Character.Head.Position).unit * 100)

if raycastResult then
    local Hit = raycastResult.Instance
end

end

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(performRayCast)

@somber pebble you should watch gnomecode's tutorial on raycasting and check the documentation. when you are ready to learn it it should be intuitive
