Can Someone Explain CFrame.p and CFrame.Unit?
Im trying to learn the how to make a raycasting weapon by looking at a developer article, but i cant understand a line of code in there. The code is as followed:
1 | local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p -tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 300) |
What i dont understand is where it says tool.Handle.CFrame.p and (mouse.Hit.p -tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit I just dont know what .p is and .Unit i, can someone please explain?

CFrames hold a LookAt and Position value, so CFrame.p is short for CFrame.Position.
Unit refers to “Unit vector”.
Although, I’ve never seen this used before.
Learn a bit more about it here:

Example Code:
1 | Part = workspace:WaitForChild("Part") |
2 | print(Part.Position) --Prints position |
3 | print(Part.CFrame.p) --Prints position |
