Check if WeaponImage touching/inside brick?

[-Fate-]

I want to find out if you can check if the weapon is touching a brick for this lightsaber, I want it to simulate a sizzle effect when the lightsaber touches

no you cannot. images dont contact other things when mounted.

you can however try to make a bot and do oncollision on that. i'm not sure if that would work if the player is overlapping bricks though while mounted - my guess is no given that onPlayerTouch events dont work when you're mounted to a vehicle and your body is intersecting the brick the event is on.

could you create an invisible projecile that relays and when it hits any brick it turns visible?

no. a couple things are wrong with that idea: one being you cant just toggle on or off the visibility of a projectile

the only real way to do this is to spam raycasts from the handle upwards relative to the way the player is looking, but this is likely a very spammy and bad idea and wouldnt really result in a good looking effect

the saber would clip through the wall anyways so its not like its going to look good when its touching a wall.

He's using Crystalwarrior's Melee Weapon Base as a base for his add-on, and something interesting about it is that it does a loop to register hit detection, which can allow for some interesting effects. I removed a lot of the checks that make swords and such bounce off of bricks when they collide, which kinda allows us to determine when the weapon is inside of a brick, but only when "firing"

Replace the effects and sounds with some more lightsaber-y stuff and it should work out. might have other undesirable effects tho. haven't check it out much

This is exactly what I told you via Steam. It's just not viable especially with the amount of players you expect to have.
