Help with raycasting?
I was trying to get a general direction of STRAIGHT DOWN from the middle of my hoverboard. if I'm crazy, just say so. Here's the line of code:
local CheckIf4Studs = Ray.new(Vector3.new(script.Parent.Handle.CFrame.p), (Vector3.new(script.Parent.Handle.CFrame.x, game.Workspace.Terrain.CFrame.y, script.Parent.Handle.CFrame.z) - Vector3.new(0,script.Parent.Handle.CFrame.y,0).unit*300))
Im getting no errors, but when I put it directly over a brick, it doesn't return hit at all.

Copy and paste:
local tool = script.Parent
local user
--when the tool is equipped
tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
--store the character of the person using the tool
user = tool.Parent
--when the left mouse button is clicked
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
--make and do a hit test along the ray
local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit*300)
local hit, position = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, user)
--do damage to any humanoids hit
local humanoid = hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
end
--draw the ray
local distance = (position - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).magnitude
local rayPart = Instance.new("Part", user)
rayPart.Name = "RayPart"
rayPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
rayPart.Transparency = 0.5
rayPart.Anchored = true
rayPart.CanCollide = false
rayPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
rayPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
rayPart.formFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom
rayPart.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, distance)
rayPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(position, tool.Handle.CFrame.p) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance/2)
--add it to debris so it disappears after 0.1 seconds
game.Debris:AddItem(rayPart, 0.1)
end)
end)
Please accept answer ;)

..... I didn't want a copy and pasted laser. I wanted a raycasting that goes down. deputychicken 226 — 9y
