can some1 help with my fps game

[dusty matrix]

i need help getting raycasting working on my shooting and thats it tbh

rn i just have a body vel which is depriciated and i wanna change to a newer system

    if player.Character then
        for i, v in pairs(player.Character.UpperTorso:GetChildren()) do
            if v.Name == "FireSound" then
                v:Destroy()
            end
        end
        
        local fireSound = Instance.new("Sound")
        fireSound.Parent = player.Character.UpperTorso
        fireSound.Name = "FireSound"
        fireSound.Volume = Volume
        fireSound.SoundId = SoundId
    end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Shoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, MuzzlePos, MousePos)
    if player.Character then
        local sound = player.Character.UpperTorso:FindFirstChild("FireSound")
        
        if sound then
            sound:Play()
        end
        

        local bullet = Instance.new("Part")
        bullet.Name = "Bullet"
        bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
        bullet.CanCollide = false
        bullet.Anchored = false
        bullet.Size = Vector3.new(.1, .1, .25)
        bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(MuzzlePos, MousePos)
        bullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
        bullet.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Yellow flip/flop")
        
        bullet:SetNetworkOwner(player)
        
        local bodyVelo = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
        bodyVelo.Parent = bullet
        bodyVelo.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
        bodyVelo.Velocity = bullet.CFrame.lookVector * 100
        
        bullet.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            bullet:Destroy()
            
            if hit.Parent ~= player.Character then
                if hit then
                    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                        hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(15)
                    end
                end
            end
        end)
    end
end)

hmmmm

you can replace the phstics bullet with instant raycasting

using
workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)

and to calcluate direactions use
(MousePos - MuzzlePos).Unit * maxRange

and you need to setup the raycastparams properly , by creating raycastparams.new() and set a filtertype

[dusty matrix]

where am i puttin this: workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)

[trim ice]

where you're doing body velocity shit

[dusty matrix]

?

[trim ice]

here

[dusty matrix]

oh

[trim ice]

replace this with raycasting

local raycast = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)

if not raycast then return end --guard break(or check i forgot) to check if you hit smth

etc................

[dusty matrix]

what abt the max range variable? where do i define it?

[finite valley]

** You are now Level 6! **

[trim ice]

in direction

maxRange is a number

[dusty matrix]

ohhhhhh

[trim ice]

local maxRange = 5

idk if its in studs or nah

ask him

[dusty matrix]

im dumb af
