My dashing script is not working even after i tried raycasting, what do i do now?
So, i recently started making the combat system for my game. First thing i made was the "dashing system" (not really dashing, but the idea behind it is that every time the player presses E, they teleport a few studs forward with any NPCs that are infront of them before the teleport get knocked up and stunned)
Well, first problem i ran into was that the player can teleport not only through walls, but if they are too chonky, they can teleport inside them.
Someone recommended that i use raycasting, which i learned and used in the script below, which of course, still has problems
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local deb = false
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local char = player.Character
local Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if gpe then return end
local RayPos = HRP.Position
local RayDirection = HRP.CFrame.LookVector * 50
local RayParams = RaycastParams.new()
RayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {
game.Workspace["Drooling Zombie"],
game.Workspace.Baseplate
}
RayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
RayParams.IgnoreWater = true
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and deb == false then
local ray = workspace:Raycast(RayPos, RayDirection, RayParams)
if ray then
local collision = ray.Position
if collision then
deb = true
Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
Hum.JumpPower = 0
HRP.Anchored = true
task.wait(1)
HRP.Position = collision
task.wait(0.25)
Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
Hum.JumpPower = 50
HRP.Anchored = false
deb = false
elseif not collision then
deb = true
Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
Hum.JumpPower = 0
HRP.Anchored = true
task.wait(1)
HRP.CFrame = HRP.CFrame + (HRP.CFrame.LookVector * 50)
task.wait(0.25)
Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
Hum.JumpPower = 50
HRP.Anchored = false
deb = false
end
end
end
end)
end)
Well, the problem with it is that there are no errors, but, when the ray has collision the HumanoidRootPart gets teleported and it makes the camera all janky because it leaves the rest of the player behind.
Also, even if there are no errors, if the ray has no collision, then the script flat out does not run, at all, even if i have an Elseif statement inside that clearly states that "if there's no collision just do this"
I really need help with this one homies. I appreciate any of it.

You're not checking collision at all, you're just checking if ray.Position exists, which it does. To check if the intersection has collision, you get the part the ray intersected at and check its collision by checking if the CanCollide property is true or false.
To avoid HumanoidRootPart leaving the rest of the limbs, use PivotTo().
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local deb = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
if gpe then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and deb == false then
local char = player.Character
if not char or not char.Parent then
char = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
local Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HRP = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local RayPos = HRP.Position
local RayDirection = char:GetPivot().LookVector * 50
local RayParams = RaycastParams.new()
RayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {
workspace:WaitForChild("Drooling Zombie"),
workspace:WaitForChild("Baseplate")
}
RayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
RayParams.IgnoreWater = true
local ray = workspace:Raycast(RayPos, RayDirection, RayParams)
if ray then -- if `ray` intersected at a part (if not, will return nil)
local hit = ray.Instance
local pos = ray.Position
if hit.CanCollide then -- if `hit` is collidable
deb = true
Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
Hum.JumpPower = 0
HRP.Anchored = true
task.wait(1)
char:PivotTo(CFrame.new(pos))
task.wait(0.25)
Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
Hum.JumpPower = 50
HRP.Anchored = false
deb = false
return -- stops the entire function, preventing the rest of the code to run
end
end
-- this part of the code will run if `ray` didn't intersect at any part (nil), or if `hit` is non collidable
deb = true
Hum.WalkSpeed = 0
Hum.JumpPower = 0
HRP.Anchored = true
task.wait(1)
char:PivotTo(char:GetPivot() + RayDirection)
task.wait(0.25)
Hum.WalkSpeed = 16
Hum.JumpPower = 50
HRP.Anchored = false
deb = false
end
end)
