[CFrame] Why wont this position CFrame work???
Localscript
The bullet wont even shoot from the correct target (EarthPart) in workspace. Why??
local Target = Mouse.Target
local Dist = ((Target.Position-EarthPart.Position).magnitude)
local Bullet = Create'Part'{BrickColor=BrickColor.new('New Yeller'),Parent=EarthPart,Name='Bullet',Anchored=true,CanCollide=false,Locked=true,FormFactor='Custom',Size=Vector3.new(.2,Dist,.2)}
Bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(EarthPart.Position,Target.Position)
* CFrame.new(0,-Dist,0)
local GunSound = Instance.new("Sound",workspace) GunSound.Pitch = 1 GunSound.Volume = 1 GunSound.Looped = false GunSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://132456235"
GunSound:Play()
for i = 0,1.1 do
Bullet.Transparency = Bullet.Transparency + .1
Services.run.RenderStepped:wait()
end
Bullet.Touched:connect(function(obj)
if obj.ClassName == 'Model' then
if obj:FindFirstChild('Humanoid',true) then
obj.Humanoid.Health = obj.Humanoid.Health - 15
end
end
end)
Bullet:remove()

Your mistake
You're setting the initial CFrame of the bullet to the specified relativity of 'EarthPart', which is fine. But when you offset the CFrame with * CFrame.new(0,-Dist,0) then, as you can see, you offset from the Y axis - Y axis is up and down. So since your offset is a negative integer, the bullet will always spawn Dist amount of studs under the original position.
How to fix
So, i'm assuming you want to make the bullet go in front of you, yes? To do this you have to offset from the Z axis - Z axis is front and back, in relative terms. So since the offset is a negative integer, the bullet will now spawn Dist amount of studs in front of the original position.
Code
Bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(EarthPart.Position,Target.Position)
* CFrame.new(0,0,-Dist) --Offset on Z axis(:
0
If I'm not mistaken, Z is the front face when working with CFrame.
Bullet.CFrame = CFrame.new(EarthPart.Position,Target.Position) * CFrame.new(0,0,-Dist)
