Raycasting

[ncp12]

I’m making an fps and I just decided to start with a sniper. Of course, it being a sniper, I used raycasts for the bullets. However, when the sniper is not zooming in, it doesn’t have a very accurate raycast.

Here’s the code:

variables:
public float range = 100f
public int bulletsPerMag = 3
public float fireRate = 2f
public int currentBullets = 3
float fireTimer
public Transform shotPoint

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

void Start(){
    currentBullets = bulletsPerMag;
}
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetButton("Fire1")){
        Fire();
    }
    if (fireTimer < fireRate){
        fireTimer += Time.deltaTime;
    }
}
private void Fire()
{
    if(fireTimer < fireRate) return;    

    RaycastHit hit;

    if(Physics.Raycast(shotPoint.position, shotPoint.transform.forward, out hit, range)){
        Debug.Log(hit.transform.name + " got pewed");
    }

    currentBullets--;
    fireTimer = 0.0f;  //reset fireTimer

}

For example, when I aim like this:

it tells me that I am hitting the floor.

Please help me! Thanks in advance!!

It now detects the red capsules, but doesn’t detect the floor.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

void Start(){
    currentBullets = bulletsPerMag;
}
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetButton("Fire1")){
        Fire();
    }
    if (fireTimer < fireRate){
        fireTimer += Time.deltaTime;
    }
    
}
private void Fire()
{
    // if(fireTimer < fireRate) return;    

    // RaycastHit hit;

    // if(Physics.Raycast(shotPoint.position, shotPoint.transform.forward, out hit, range)){
    //     Debug.Log(hit.transform.name + " got pewed");
    // }

    // currentBullets--;
    fireTimer = 0.0f;  //reset fireTimer

    Vector3 GetHitPoint(Vector3 muzzlePosition) {

        Ray crosshair = new Ray(camera.position, camera.forward);

        Vector3 aimPoint;
        RaycastHit hit;
        if(Physics.Raycast(crosshair, out hit, range)) {
            aimPoint = hit.point;        
        } else {
            aimPoint = crosshair.origin + crosshair.direction * range;
        }

        Ray beam = new Ray(muzzlePosition, aimPoint - muzzlePosition);

        if(!Physics.Raycast(beam, out hit, range ))
            return aimPoint;
            Debug.Log(aimPoint);

        Debug.Log(hit.transform.name + " got pewed");
        return hit.point;
        
    }
    GetHitPoint(muzzlePosition);

}

}

I know I wont be hitting the floor, but in case there is an error in the code, or something…Anyone know what’s happening?
