You don't need raycasting to do that. You can just use .magnitude to see the distance between the positions of their root parts.

BRO thank you so much! i am glad i found you because the first thing you said was "how to check if part can see another part" and this is exactly what i was searching for!

Nice explained and simple, now I can make stuff like you have to move a part until it sees the other part to open a door!

Whitelist and Blacklist are deprecated, you have to use Include and Exclude respectively, good luck with coding everyone

Thank you most tutorials are outdated or confusing this helped alot

This is incredibly helpful, but the only problem is it's the position of the part, and not the surface of it. So sometimes you're left with this awkward situation where you'd think it would be able to see the target part if it was the edge of another part at a different Y position, but it can't since the position of the part is at the centre, rather than the closest point of it, relative to the search part.

You can easily modify it so that the origin is on the surface on the part, just do simple math.

thank You So Much For Making This Video, this is very Helpful For Me Because Im Making A Battleship Tower On My Td Game And I had A Small Turret Which I Want It To Shoot if It Detect The Target And I Didn't Know Anything About raycasting until now, thx for making this video

I agree with others, this seems to be a good tutorial! I've heard that Roblox has added "shape-casts" sometime recently, though. I wonder how those work compared to raycasts, which are just drawing a line from a position in a specific direction.

This is literally so helpful thanks

nooo! i wanted to see the ball at the end fall into the void! D: great tutorial though! can't wait to see more!

hi, thanks for the new amazing video! I'm sure it will come in handy for many!

damn bro thank u for creating this i literally wanted this right now lol

remember the reason there is no need for ~= nil in the if statement is because (in lower-level languages) the condition syntax secretly has a `identifier == 1` which 1 meaning true saying the identifier does exist. If you use the `NOT` keyword or `!` operator then it's opposite (0). All of this happens behind the language interpreter

you can also calculate direction at workspace:Raycast() part using CFrame:LookAt()

you made this so much more simple

I was hoping the ball would turn yellow at the last second haha... anyways great informative video! thanks!

I'm just going to assume that by that you mean you want a trail for the bullet. If you want that, then add a trail in the bullet and set the properties, and you should be good. If you are using a script that makes the bullet through the script, then add something similar to this to the script: local trail = Instance.new("trail") trail.Parent = bullet trail.lifespan = (whatever you want) (add some more properties)

Blacklist and whitelist have been depreciated and replaced with include and exclude. They work functionally the same though

Nice video

2:48 I thought that an error pops up when you reference 2 parts have the same name that are both located in the workspace.

be careful y'all. app, the blacklist function has been deprecated and replaced with another one called "exclude", which does basically the same

why there's no video How To Destroy Block On Look Roblox Studio

For any new people, Roblox removed Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist and Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist: Now Blacklist is Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude And Whitelist is Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include Hope this helps :)

Hello GnomeCode can't you make a tutorial how to create pet simulator game this would be interesting !

Now either, I don't know anything about programming (which is not true I know LUA, HTML 5, Python, not going to bother listing anything else because it doesn't aid my point. ) Or most of these tutorials describing shapecasts and raycasts are all so convoluted, this one is among them but at least I could grasp some of the information. I know what a raycast and a shapecast is, I know what their use cases are. but knowing when and how they are applied to a script is never shown in one of these videos, or they do and its usually within the heaps of talking people do in these tutorials. Goes through one ear out the other. If I get a comment trying to explain what a raycast or shapecast is/its use cases just like these tutorials do, I might outright ignore it unless you manage to give me a more in-depth view on it. Because your viewing me from the perspective of someone who does not know how to program, does not know how to reference from ROBLOX's API. Both of which I do know how to do, but unfortunately, reading roblox's api reference did not give me a clear understanding of how this works; which is a shame because usually to does. so currently, I know that I can blacklist/whitelist objects, then specify what it is I'm blacklisting/whitelisting. Cool, that works, understood; quite handy! raycast result returns as it states, the result of a created raycast; which I can use in my script. BAM context on not just its use case but WHERE it's applied to my script; other tutorials don't do this or they take far to long and do to much talking to get to this point; which, I described in terms far easier to understand in 3 sentences. This is why I stook with this tutorial. Let me describe my issue and I don't have access to ROBLOX forums so don't ask me to go there. Say I want to do as shown above, to get direction for CF ( CFrame ) I would compare a - b as done here. But what if what I'm comparing isn't a part in workspace for A? and my target B being a player model? Let me show off what I tried to do so that what I mentioned above becomes clearer, I have a part which is non-can collided in a FOLDER with my script within its own folder ELSEWHERE. This part is a zone, its invisible, but can be touched and quarried, My script is trying to look in pairs and it represents each part by " v " with its distinction being its name, So, I have a zone called " desert ", and another zone called " grasslands ": both are in the same music zone folder with only their names to make them unique. My script plays music when a player enters a zone, each song is named exactly to their zone counterparts so that the script can pick a song and match it according to a touched-zone's name. Neat, compact, butttttt this doesn't work. Why? Because the last method I utilized, used region3, which is depreciated and trust me I looked, there are some sources claiming it isn't but that's simply not true. So I started using shapecasts, and for the likes of me, I just don't know how to use them. I mean, I know the bare minimum, and I'm hoping watching this video on RAYcasts will allow be to at least understand the filtering which seems to be used for both shape casts and ray casts. And hopefully draw a line between the two and actually have a solid understanding of it. I'm gonna rewrite my entire code, including what I've learned from this video and what little I can learn from shape casts, by the way, don't look those up unless your willing to dig, youtubers don't know how to explain shapecasts well enough for application on your own; they just tell you what it does and how it can be used. And I think they do that because they think "casting shapes" is complicated, thus they can get away with taking more views from people: Even though I just described what it is and does in two words, casting, shapes.

Start by taking the stick out of your ass and get to the point of your 500 page pretentious comment. If you are not wishing for a reply, which you mention you don't in: "...I might outright ignore it..." because you are afraid of someone misrepresenting you under your fragile ego, maybe do not write a comment and just keep it to yourself. To answer your question anyways: "What if what I'm comparing isn't a part in workspace for A? and my target B being a player model?" The same thing still applies: -Get the world position of point A, which is not a part in the workspace. -Get the world position of point B, which is the target, like a player's character model. You can use the CFrame of the character's root part (usually HumanoidRootPart) to get the position. -Calculate the direction vector by subtracting the position of point A from point B. You mentioned an extremely important flaw though: you have a part which is nonCancollide. Rays do not interact with nonCancollide parts, so your method of making music zones with raycast will not work in its current state. The way you intend on creating music zones seems very impractical and it'd be much better to just use a simple Part.Touched script on a region defined by a giant cancollidefalse block. Why this wasn't your initial idea? You tell me.
