Should I use touched event for damaging players?
Im making a fighting game and I usually use touched events for projectiles then use region3/raycasting if I have the option. Im wondering if theres a better way to code projectiles since the touched event can be wonky

one method i use is to spawn a part wherever the projectile hits and then clone a damage script that uses a pairs loop with :GetTouchingParts() LoganboyInCO 150 — 4y

In my opinion, raycasting is the best way to do hit detection for projectiles. Heres some (pseudo) code to give you an idea of how to implement it.
local lastPos = nil
while true do
if lastPos then
local ray = Ray(lastPos, projectile.Position)
if HitPlayer(ray) then
DamagePlayer()
DestroyProjectile()
break
end
end
lastPos = projectile.Position
end
