Raycasts

[fickle moon]

trying to make a raycast hitbox, testing somethings, I fired raycasts from multiple attachments to one point, only one gave me raycast results

starting to see some issues

it acc fires from the origin and not from the attachment

Oh the reason why it's because you're using the wrong argument for the second one.
It shouldn't be workspace.boom.Position because that second one is ray direction

You can just get the direction by

v.Position - workspace.boom.Position

That's probably it

[fickle moon]

oh

💔

[marble dust]

It might be just try it out..

[marble dust]

Actually wait switch it around I meant workspace.boom.Position - v.Position

Since it's the direction towards boom

[fickle moon]

thank you

[fickle moon]

it works now

I'll use the attachments worldcframe

instead

[marble dust]

Alr then good

[fickle moon]

tysm

[distant heart]

to get a direction of that is also you need to use .Unit

(v.Position - workspace.boom.Position).Unit

[distant heart]

you're just getting the vector but not the direction.

also the params for raycast is this RayCast(starting position, direction, raycastParams)

[marble dust]

Wouldn't you still have the direction regardless of it being normalized?

Because the outcome would still be the same regardless with roblox's raycast right?

[distant heart]

In Roblox's WorldRoot:Raycast function, the second parameter must be a direction vector, not a target position.

[distant heart]

yeah it still works but if you want to have a have better control, you need to normalize and multiply by the desired length.

[marble dust]

Ohh but I thought that was only for like look vectors and not when you already have a known end position
