[azure mulch]

Yes thats what im trying to make

[broken jungle]

** You are now Level 2! **

[azure mulch]

That game is the goal

[slim mural]

that's actually kinda cool

[quick vine]

cant you just fire a bunch of raycasts

a friend of mine did a game like that years ago

[azure mulch]

I dont know how

[quick vine]

look it up

[azure mulch]

ok

[azure mulch]

I just did, cant script

[quick vine]

learn how to script first then

you wont go far making a game if u cant script

unless ur making an obby or something easy like that

[slim mural]

yeah raycasting + sphere handle adornment is the way to go

[reef sinew]

shoudnt use raycats for that
i tried it, but roblox raycats are really slow when there are manny parts
i did get way better performance when doing my own raycaster

[azure mulch]

Can you help me out with it?

[slim mural]

doing that without raycasting would kill performance more than using raycasting

raycasting is designed for this type of things, now if roblox raycasting sucks or not is a fact

[reef sinew]

roblox rayasting is really slow for that stuff, heres what i did:
#📜︱scripting message

(using custom raycasting)

[slim mural]

did you actually test if raycasting was the issue or the hundreds of parts?

[reef sinew]

and heres default raycasting: #📜︱scripting message

[azure mulch]

I plan to only fire 7 per line

[slim mural]

the reason your method is faster is because it's nowhere as complete as roblox's raycasting, don't confuse the lack of features with better performance

[reef sinew]

its faster because roblox needs to check for every instance in that radius, and then for every triangle of that mesh
my method just uses simple math

(roblox also checks for instances if you use Whitelist to exclude them)

mhm

[azure mulch]

I just need to know how to fire the raycasing to make a dot appear

[reef sinew]

for that you can just look in to the roblox docs

[azure mulch]

Well, not "A dot" about 500 in total

[azure mulch]

I did

Its a last resort

Actually ill go see
