Question

i tried to make an fps and wanted to add bulletholes when you shoot, the bulletholes are circles, but if you shoot, the bulletholes are stretched and bigger, and i want them to be at its original size, also the bullethole is exact at the same position as the wall/ground wich can make some weird texture visuals

func fire() -> void:
	# While firing, apply continuous shake
	shake_intensity = 0.5  # Full intensity shake during fire

	# Apply shake (rotation)
	camera.rotation = lerp(camera.rotation, Vector3(
		randf_range(MAX_CAMERA_SHAKE * shake_intensity, -MAX_CAMERA_SHAKE * shake_intensity),
		randf_range(MAX_CAMERA_SHAKE * shake_intensity, -MAX_CAMERA_SHAKE * shake_intensity),
		0), 0.5)

	# Handle shooter collision and damage
	if shooter.is_colliding():
		var target = shooter.get_collider()
		if target:
			#target.health -= gun_damage
			create_bullet_hole()

func create_bullet_hole() -> void:
	var bulletHoleNode = BULLET_HOLE.instantiate()
	shooter.get_collider().add_child(bulletHoleNode)
	bulletHoleNode.global_position = shooter.get_collision_point()
	bulletHoleNode.look_at(bulletHoleNode.global_position + shooter.get_collision_normal(), Vector3.UP)

My best guess here is that because you are adding the bullet holes as a child of the object that the bullet hit, if the object has a scale applied that will also be applied to the bullet hole.

I think bullet holes in general can be more complex an entity than expected, but I would approach this with an additional layer/scene that contained my bullet holes. You could use the collider information to get the position and angle of the hole, but then instantiate the hole in a separate node/scene/layer.

Having access then to all the bullet holes in one place, you could also then use that to control the maximum number of bullet holes, and queue_free them or fade them out after a certain amount of time. In fact you could have a pool of bullet holes that you cycle through.

Hope that helped in some way.
