How would I go about making a distance delay for a gun using Raycast? [Sorry, no code included]
In big FPS's you see things such as Bullet delay, to give you a brief description (If you don't know what it is). Here's an example. One person is walking on the Z axis, and you're looking at them from the X axis, the person is moving from left to right, therefore, due to the bullet velocity and the users velocity you will have to aim more to the right in order for the bullet to hit the person (Depending on the distance). I know I can clone/create a brick with a velocity, but the hit detection is very glitchy due to the high velocity.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated,
Thanks :)

Tried this but it fails with small targets at high velocities, still the main idea is just to check if there are parts along a path, traversing the path in a given speed.
function main()
fireAt(Workspace.PartA.Position, Workspace.PartB.Position-Workspace.PartA.Position, 500, function(parts)
print(parts[1].Name)
end)
end
function _fireAt(origin, direction, speed, callback, size)
direction = direction.unit
size = size or 500
--Debug part, to see the path, you can delete this
local Debug = true
local debugPart = Instance.new("Part")
debugPart.Anchored = true
debugPart.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
debugPart.CanCollide = false
debugPart.Parent = Workspace
debugPart.Transparency = Debug and 0 or 1
--
local target = origin + (direction*size);
for i = 0, size, speed/30 do
local pos = origin:Lerp(target, i/size)
local parts = Workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(Region3.new(pos, pos))
--Can delete
if Debug then
debugPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos)
end
--
if #parts > 0 then
callback(parts)
end
wait()
end
--Destroy the debug part, can delete.
debugPart:Destroy()
--
end
function fireAt(origin, direction, speed, callback, size)
coroutine.wrap(_fireAt)(origin, direction, speed, callback, size)
end
main()
