Unable to cast Vector3 to float?
I'm having a problem where I repeatedly get the error "Unable to cast Vector3 to float" Whenever I run this script.
01 | function TouchEnded(touch, gameProcessedEvent) |
02 | RayPosition = touch.Position |
03 | print("Touch ended at "..tostring(touch.Position)) |
04 | end |
05 |
06 | game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt) |
07 | local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera |
08 | local rayDistance = 300 |
09 | local viewportPoint = Camera.ViewportSize / 2 |
10 | print(RayPosition) |
11 | local unitRay = Camera:ViewportPointToRay(RayPosition, 0) |
12 | local usableRay = Ray.new(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * rayDistance) |
13 |
14 | part, hitPosition = workspace:FindPartOnRay(usableRay, char) |
15 | if part then |
16 | print("Hit part: " .. part:GetFullName()) |
17 | end |
18 | end) |
The error appears on line 11. Any help will be appreciated

the error is saying you can't enter a vector3 value to a float (I think) Jack_Hase 85 — 5y

That's as much as I know. I can't figure out how to fix it Memotag 226 — 5y

the function ViewportPointToRay doesn't accept vector3 values. It's arguments should be x,y,z and not Vector3(x,y,z). To fix this, just convert the vector3 to x,y,z like this:
01 | function TouchEnded(touch, gameProcessedEvent) |
02 | RayPosition = touch.Position |
03 | print("Touch ended at "..tostring(touch.Position)) |
04 | end |
05 |
06 | game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt) |
07 | local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera |
08 | local rayDistance = 300 |
09 | local viewportPoint = Camera.ViewportSize / 2 |
10 | print(RayPosition) |
11 | local unitRay = Camera:ViewportPointToRay(RayPosition.X, RayPosition.Y, 0) |
12 | local usableRay = Ray.new(unitRay.Origin, unitRay.Direction * rayDistance) |
13 |
14 | part, hitPosition = workspace:FindPartOnRay(usableRay, char) |
15 | if part then |
16 | print("Hit part: " .. part:GetFullName()) |
17 | end |
18 | end) |
I'm just assuming you wanted the Z part to be 0

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. Memotag 226 — 5y
