Innacurate Aiming with mouse... Any fixes?

Asked 176 views1 answers

I've been working on my first magic script lately, and I've just noticed this "bug" or unwanted feature which is inaccuracy. This issue is so bad at the point the projectile can go over 100 studs away from the desired target.

This is the piece of code I've used that I am almost certain that contains the issue:

local bodyvel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Projectile)
	bodyvel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
	bodyvel.Velocity = Mouse.lookVector * 150  -- Mouse in here is abbreviated for Mouse.Hit.Cframe.

Here's a streamable link to a video where it's inaccuracy is shown. https://streamable.com/yiayq5

It really frustrated me. (It was supposed to land near the place with bent pillars.)

Shouldn't it be 'UnitRay' of the mouse rather than 'lookVector'?

Wow! That video looked pretty cool! I suggest using Rays, Rays are a lot more accurate. (unless there is an invisible object in the way) Anyways, this is a basic script that should help:

local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local position = mouse.Hit.Position
		
local origin = YOUR_STARTING_PART.Position
local direction = (position - origin).Unit*300
local result = Workspace:Raycast(origin, direction)
		
local intersection = result and result.Position or origin + direction
local distance = (origin - intersection).Magnitude
		
local bullet_clone = LOCATE_PROJECTILE_HERE
bullet_clone.CFrame = CFrame.new(origin, intersection)*CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance/2)
bullet_clone.Parent = Workspace

You can play around with it, let me know if you have any questions!

This did fix my issue, although It generated some other issues which are easily fix-able. thank you!
