RayCasting and damage dont work :( ?

Asked 264 views1 answers

The beam doesn't do any damage, and I'm not sure it's there at all :/ p.s. im use translate

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr,Pos)
	
	local ray = Ray.new(Stvol.Position,(Pos)*200)
	local hit,position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
	
	if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(15)
	end
	
	-----------------
	local beam = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
	beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow")
	beam.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	beam.Transparency = 0
	beam.Anchored = true
	beam.Locked = true
	beam.CanCollide = false
			
	local distance = (Stvol.CFrame.p - Pos).magnitude
	beam.Size = Vector3.new(.3, .3, distance)
	beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(Stvol.CFrame.p, Pos) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
	wait()
	beam:Destroy()
	----------------

You don't seem to have a part in your script which damages a player. That is why it does no damage. You need to get the part the ray hits with :FindPartOnRay(), then check the hit's parent or the hit's parent's parent for a humanoid and if there is a humanoid assign it to a variable which you then damage with humanoid:TakeDamage(number)

if you need an example here's my pistol script, at least the main part:

local Present = true
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local tab = {workspace.IgnoreModel}
	local first = true
local Hole
local Part,Position,Normal
script.Parent.BulletEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, FromP, ToP, BulletPos)
if script.Parent.AbleToShoot.Value == true then
	if first == true then
	table.insert(tab, Player.Character)
	first = false
	end
 local RayCast = Ray.new(FromP,(ToP-FromP).unit*500)
 Part,Position,Normal = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(RayCast,tab,false,true)
 local Dist = (ToP-FromP).magnitude
 if not Dist then Dist = 300 end
local projectile = script.Parent.Bullet.Projectile:Clone()
projectile.Parent = game.Workspace
projectile.CFrame = CFrame.new(BulletPos, ToP)
projectile.Tracer.Enabled = true
 Hole = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("GlockBulletHole"):Clone()
-------------------------------------------------------------------
local Info = TweenInfo.new(
	(ToP-script.Parent.Parts.BE.Position).magnitude/457,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	false,
	0
)


local Goals  =
{
	Position = ToP
}

local BulletTween = TweenService:Create(projectile, Info, Goals)
BulletTween:Play()

if (ToP-script.Parent.Parts.BE.Position).magnitude <= 1000 then
game.Debris:AddItem(projectile, (ToP-script.Parent.Parts.BE.Position).magnitude/457)
elseif (ToP-script.Parent.Parts.BE.Position).magnitude > 1000 then
game.Debris:AddItem(projectile, 2.2)

what the F.... Ugh so hard.. I need time to understand all it

I checked my script, and it turned out that I do damage, but only if I aim at myself. I don't know, maybe the beam is stuck somewhere?

Is your beam hitting your char? try to print the part which is hit so you know the name
