Quick story about this video... I had gotten my Roblox account banned 2 weeks before this video was conceptualized. That meant I had 0 robux. I hadn't edited my own videos for 5 years, and I really wanted to help a lot of you with raycasting, so over 2 months straight, I learned editing and edited about half of this video before I had enough robux to send it to the actual editor to finish off. I conceptualized this video when I was sick with COVID-19. In bed, with a fever and all, I was thinking of a story to help you learn raycasting, which is the story you see. It took hours upon hours to make this video possible, and we will definitely have more of these masterpieces. I wanna make the best Roblox scripting videos to help you learn, and this is definitely one of them. Thank you so much for watching, and I really hope it helped you. If you wanna support the channel, all you have to do is subscribe. If you wanna support even further, I wrote a book on Roblox scripting and I teach it privately in a paid discord membership, which you can check out here: linktr.ee/script_ing Once again, thanks for watching and see you next time!

While the video does great at explaining how raycasts work... the main raycasting of the gun is all happening on the client, which doesn't really work well in a multiplayer environment.

@scripting 4 ай бұрын

It doesn’t, you’re right. But for games with small servers or small Raycasts / second, it’s totally fine. In my experience, even 20-40 Raycasts per second works fine

@AntiNuke_ 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the car analogy to explain the normal of an object, I was literally thinking "what practical use does this have".

@scripting 5 ай бұрын

Yup. It’s used everywhere, especially in places where we would never even think of. When a gun is firing, we fire a ray where the origin is the gun and the direction is where our mouse points (just like in the video) When you select a troop in a tower defense game (or in my game, battle mania), a Raycast is done from the foot to the ground so the script knows where the ground is and to place the troop effectively

@AntiNuke_ 5 ай бұрын

I was talking specifically about the "Normal" of the raycast. I know raycasts are used for basically everything, super useful tool. But before now I had no clue what the normal of a raycast instance was, and during the video I was wondering when anyone would ever use it.@@scripting

@scripting 5 ай бұрын

@@AntiNuke_ Gotcha. Yeah, the normal is used like in the footsteps example, and perhaps also making a thrown object ricochet off surfaces it hits. For example, a ball is thrown. It hits a wall. Apply a lesser force on that ball with the direction of the normal of the surface. Repeat. If you do this to a laser, it can give a laser bouncing off / ricochet effect

@AntiNuke_ 5 ай бұрын

Yep, I just actually used the normal of an object to make a script that makes the camera bounce off an object it hits using a raycast from the head to the camera position detecting what the camera is hitting.@@scripting
