[frank haven]

Send

[craggy flax]

no

[visual owl]

hes gonna steal your scripts

[craggy flax]

this is the one u need

[frank haven]

morbid the script don’t work

[craggy flax]

it works

i just want to fix that one thing

[frank haven]

oh right

[visual owl]

ok so

make an attatchment at the tip of the gun model and make that the start position instead of shootpart.position

[steep minnow]

oh wait do you mean the giant gap between the tracer and the gun when you move?

[craggy flax]

ye

that

[craggy flax]

u sure thatll fix it?

[visual owl]

yes

[craggy flax]

ill try

[frank haven]

He wants it to come out the barrel

[steep minnow]

what if you traced on the client

[craggy flax]

shootpart is just a part at thetip of the barrel

[craggy flax]

i want others to see it though

[steep minnow]

then do that

[visual owl]

mabye it wont work if your already doing this

but try it anyway

and if your using an attachment instead of part you might need to use CFrame

[empty falcon]

** You are now Level 2! **

[craggy flax]

yeah

ill test this tomorrow

its late

[visual owl]

alright

bro i learned dont script late the hard way

i spent an entire hour trying to figure out why my moves wasnt working and i realized i never had a remote event

[craggy flax]

😭

[blazing tendon]

dont do it on the server since it looks like some server lag (if your doing it in a roblox game server) affecting the raycast, raycast from client, make sure its an attachment

its also generally better for raycasts and the visuals to be on the client

[still lagoon]

The offset is because the tracer is being spawned at the location of your character on the server which always lags behind by a bit.

The solution is to spawn the tracer locally on the client when you click. To replicate the tracer to other players, the server should send an event to everyone except for the player who shot (since they already spawned a tracer right when they clicked) and provide the position the tracer ends at and the part/attachment the tracer starts from. Then when the client receives the message to create the tracer, spawn a tracer between the provided part/attachment's position and the provided destination position.

[craggy flax]

And then I just do the damage on the server?

[craggy flax]

Ty

[craggy flax]

how would i make it start at the position of the attachment

since it doesnt have a position

do i have to like add the cframes

[still lagoon]

attachment.WorldCFrame.Position

[craggy flax]

ye i figured it
