Ray cast result not working when pointing at the sky

[quick lintel]

I'm trying to make a mm2 knife throwing system but the ray cast result won't work when I hit the air
is their a way to fix it or a different way to calculate it?

[zinc flame]

I think it must be because the distance is kinda infinite

And depending on the amount of time you’ve multiplied you vector unit for your raycast direction, you have a "limit"

Maybe it might work if you have a roof

Otherwise i dont think it’s possible since it will return nil

Im not a raycast god

[misty copper]

you just need to have a null check honestly

if its nil then just remove it after letting it fly after a while

[zinc flame]

He needs the direction though

[misty copper]

direction of what? where the knife is going to go?

[zinc flame]

I think be wants the knife to be thrown anyways

[zinc flame]

Yeah

Maybe he should add some invisible roof i guess ?

And then use debris to delete the knife a certain time after being thrown

[misty copper]

i guess yeah, i just cant think of anyway. maybe the camera??

get camera pos or rotation??
