I have a projectile script that doesn't work but returns no errors?

Asked 182 views1 answers

I have recently made a a script that clones a brick and launches it out of a held item. However the script does not work and it returns with no errors. I really don't know what could be wrong with it, I've double checked to make sure all items are in their proper places, i differentiated between the cloned arrow and the arrow clone, i even spelled 'velocity' correctly.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local bullet = game.ReplicatedStorage.bullets.arrow


function pew ()
	bullet:clone().Parent = tool
	local arrowb = script.Parent.arrow
	game.Debris:AddItem(arrowb, 2)
	arrowb.CFrame = tool.Handle.Cframe
	arrowb.CFrame = CFrame.new(arrowb.Position,mouse.Hit.P)
	local v = Instance.new ("BodyVelocity", arrowb)
	v.velocity = arrowb.CFrame.lookVector *90
	v.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
	
end

tool.Activated:connect(pew)

Any ideas what could be wrong?

mouse.Hit.p should have a lowercase p.

I've tidied up the script a bit, removed unnecessary code and commented things I've changed.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local bullet = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").bullets.arrow
--Changed to use GetService()


function pew()
	local arrow = bullet:clone() -- Should index this as you create it
	arrow.Parent = tool
	-- GetService for Debris
	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(arrow, 2)
	-- Only need to set the arrow CFrame once...
	arrow.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.Position, mouse.Hit.p) -- lower case p 
	local v = Instance.new ("BodyVelocity", arrow)
	v.velocity = arrow.CFrame.lookVector *90
	v.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
end

tool.Activated:connect(pew)
