apologies for being a bothered just needed quick help is all with the hitscan situation since im awfully new to c#

#

No problem

#

If you want to use a hitscan I suggest looking into Raycasting

#

You can creating a ray and then fire it straight out in the direction you’re looking

i see

#

From there you can take the object you hit, and deal damage if it’s an enemy, or place a bullet decal at the position, etc.

Yep

#

any tutorials out there you recommend

#

It’s fairly simple to setup

#

If I were at my computer I’d give an example

#

Just create a new ray, and use Physics.Raycast to cast out

#

You can create a RaycastHit object to store the result of that, and pass it in using the “out” keyword

gosh you are going to hate me i have no idea how to do that also should i create a completely new script for it

whole gate gosh you are going to hate me i have no idea how to do that also should i create...

Nope, you can create a new object by creating a local variable

#

RaycastHit hit = new RaycastHit();
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, someDirection, out hit)
{
Debug.Log(“I’ve hit: “ + hit.transform);
}

#

From there you can access whatever you need on the hit object

so just copy this into my fps controller script

empty nest Apr 7, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

Well, you need to swap out someDirection for the direction you’d like to shoot

#

If your controller is working correctly I’d probably suggest using the camera’s forward transform so it always fires where you’re looking

ahh jeez hm...question will you be available tomorrow possibly to help me over a vc

#

i am sadly a much better auditory learner

#

im looking at this and i feel like it should be simple im just way too confused

empty nest Apr 7, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

Ah no problem

#

I suggest taking a look here https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

#

Unfortunately I won’t be able to help in VC, but I wish you luck

#

If you still can’t figure it out tomorrow I can possible give you a code example

#

But you don’t have to rely on me, learning to use Google effectively is an extremely important skill that’ll get you much further than help forums will
