making a 3rd person gun

[vague path]

let me know what u think cause there's another problem in that order

If you have semi automatic weapons, you'll have to fire a remote event everytime the player shoots but also have a cooldown on the server to prevent exploiters from spam-firing the remote event

For automatic weapons, just like you suggested

You could also use an attribute/BooleanValue on the server and switch it, it will replicate to all clients and new clients automatically, if true, fire

[vague path]

i also tried doing that, but dude that's alot for the server to handle, constant remote events fired cause bad performance

[unkempt berry]

You have no other way of sending the information

Also, all you're doing is firing the remote event without data

it's not bad

[vague path]

i forgot to mention this VERY important something:
the player's camera ray is assigned using the player's current camera ==> this right here is the cause of this whole problem

only if i could access a player's current camera without having to do it locally

[vague path]

im firing it with the ray's data, to know which way, position ... (bullet info) to render

I change my question

is there any way i can do somethin like this

⚠️⚠️ THIS LOCAL SCRIPT IS FROM SUPHI ⚠️⚠️

local function calculate_ray()
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
    -- calculate ray with the suphi's cam
end

⚠️⚠️ THIS LOCAL SCRIPT IS FROM CAPSORI ⚠️⚠️

local function calculate_ray()
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
    -- calculate ray with the capsori's cam
end

⚠️⚠️ THIS LOCAL SCRIPT FROM CAPSORI WANTS TO GET SUPHI S CAMERA⚠️⚠️

local Suphi = game.Players.suphi
local suphi_cam = Suphi.CurrentCamera ???

local function calculate_ray()
    -- calculate ray from capsori's client side with suphi's camera
end

This is very easy in my eyes

you need to

detect mouse click/hold

then send the mouse direction

I'll explain later how to do it because I have piano class

If I remember correctly, you have to use this function to find out the mouse direction

[wintry mantle]

to detect if they holding click u could simplyuse a variable named "shooting" and repeat wait until that variable is false

[vague path]

the problem is in sending the mouse direction
from one side, i cant be firing multiple events sending the direction to the server at once (that will cause performance problems)
and from another side i dont have any other way to access the ViewportPointToRay of another player's camera

you only need to send essential data to the server, such as where the raycast starts, and the direction.

Firing this often doesn't cause performance problems. Performance issues only come from sending a lot data too often

sending two vector3s isn't anywhere close to the network send/receive limit. You could fire this 100 times per second and the remotes could handle it
