problems with raycasting

[normal igloo]

im trying to make a projectile module. Basically casting a ray from a muzzle but it just doesnt work, any clues?

[dense sky]

Try multiplying direction by an anticipated range

Should work then

like in the raycast call do direction * 100 for example

[normal igloo]

is there any more reliable way like excluding the muzzle part. Im suspecting this happenning because i cast a ray inside a part

[dense sky]

Well what you have right now should work to avoid casting inside the muzzle and you can just disable CanQuery for the muzzle

[normal igloo]

i dont see that property

nvm it is in the script

[dense sky]

Click through disabling the collissions it'll pop up

Does the raycast work now btw?

[normal igloo]

no

[dense sky]

Is the muzzle facing the right way?

[normal igloo]

im not even sure but sometime it detects my right foot if i step over it

[dense sky]

Yeah it might be facing the wrong way then

[normal igloo]

i tried going around the muzzle

[normal igloo]

nope doesnt work

im just trying to make wall banging with raycast so these are the first few steps

[dense sky]

Ok that's weird because you should at least get some sort of return at least

What does the model look like when you're like trying to raycast>?

[normal igloo]

wym model here

Like how is the muzzle part placed in the gun?

[normal igloo]

no it is just a 1x1x1 stud rn placing on baseplate

[dense sky]

Ohhhhhh alr alr

[dense sky]

Do you just keep getting it completely nil?

Because this should work now

[normal igloo]

uh keeps getting nil

[dense sky]

Might just be an issue with the part you're using then

[normal igloo]

ill see

so weird

i got it i didnt multiply the direction

[dense sky]

Alr nice 😭
