so lets say you have a raycast
ray = ray.new(start,endpoint-start)
then you do the hit thing
local hit,pos,norm = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
now my problem is that when i do
print(pos)
it only gets the vector3 i need a CFrame because i need the direction that the ray is facing too is there any way to do this?
If you're getting the position using FindPartOnRay then presumably you have the ray itself. To get the direction of the ray you can simply access its Direction property:
local ray = Ray.new(...)
local direction = ray.Direction
You could then use this to construct a CFrame if you needed to. One way would be to use CFrame.fromMatrix:
local ray = Ray.new(start, endpoint-start)
local hit, pos, norm = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
local direction = ray.Direction
local lookVector = direction
local rightVector = direction:Cross(Vector3.new(0, 1, 0))
local upVector = rightVector:Cross(lookVector)
local rayCFrame = CFrame.FromMatrix(pos, rightVector, upVector)
