How can i make my light beam attack always start in front of the character?
Sorry for the rough scripts, im fairly new, but what im trying to do is make a cylinder shaped object start in front of you and quickly expand outwards. my problem is that i cant figure out how to get it to go in front of you, and its always going across 1 of the axis.
Code for the local script that triggers the attack
01 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
02 | local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
03 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
04 | local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
05 | local Remote = ReplicatedStorage.Fired |
06 | local Mouse = plr:GetMouse() |
07 |
08 | local Debounce = true |
09 | local Key = 'R' |
10 |
11 | UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping) |
12 | if IsTyping then return end |
13 | local KeyPressed = Input.KeyCode |
14 | if KeyPressed == Enum.KeyCode[Key] and Debounce and Char then |
15 | Debounce = false |
16 | Remote:FireServer(Mouse.Hit) |
17 | wait(1) |
18 | Debounce = true |
19 | end |
20 | end) |
Code for the attack itself
01 | game.ReplicatedStorage.Fired.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Debounce) |
02 | local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait() |
03 | Debounce = true |
04 | local LightBeam = Instance.new("Part") |
05 | LightBeam.Name = "LightBeam" |
06 | LightBeam.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3) |
07 | LightBeam.Shape = Enum.PartType.Cylinder |
08 | LightBeam.Material = Enum.Material.Neon |
09 | LightBeam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Cool yellow") |
10 | LightBeam.CanCollide = false |
11 | LightBeam.Parent = Character |
12 | LightBeam.CFrame = Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,1,0) |
13 | LightBeam.Anchored = true |
14 | wait(.2) |
15 | LightBeam.Size = Vector3.new(104,3,104) |
16 | wait(2) |
17 | LightBeam:Destroy() |
18 | end) |
the game is set up to only use r6 models btw

you could:
1 | LightBeam.CFrame = Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()*CFrame.new(0,0,-3) |

Use CFrame multiply with CFrame
1 | local orientation = LightBeam.Orientation |
2 | local stud = 0 -- Change if you want LightBeam move forward or backward |
3 | local Ystud = 0 -- Change if you want LightBeam move up or down |
4 | LightBeam.CFrame = Character.Head.CFrame *CFrame.new(0,(-4.5)+(LightBeam.Size.Y/2)+Ystud,stud) |

-create a local cframe
1 | local RPosition = CFrame.new(0,0,1) |
the numbers in the cframe are the relative coordinates that will be added
in line 12 use this code
1 | LightBeam.CFrame = Character.Torso.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(RPosition) |
or you can put the cframe directly in RPosition
