Hello. I have this code:

	local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
	 
	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	    local Bullet = Instance.new("Part")
	    Bullet.Parent = game.Workspace
	    Bullet.CanCollide = false
	    Bullet.CFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0)
	    local Direction = (mouse.Hit.Position - game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit
	    Bullet.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Direction*100
	end)

The line I am intersted in is:

local Direction = (mouse.Hit.Position - game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit

That line and this give the same result:

local Direction = (mouse.Hit.Position).Unit

I don't understand why we need to use the first one? Can anyone explain the math?

Math isnt my strongest side so excuse me if i get something wrong here. Basically the first line is creating a unit vector from the Mouse position to the RootPart position. So basically you have a line from the mouse position to the rootpart.
