RCL

RCL, rarely known as ROBLOX Clan League, was a tournament for clans created in 2012 that people only remember because of the gun script it created, which lead to hundreds of functionally similar clones. This article will go over the much better known weapon system, instead of the tournament.

History
For the 2 years before RCL's introduction, raycast weapons were used by clans, but were primitive to some degree - from using the hand/torso as the raycast origin, to creating raycasts from the barrel, allowing shooting from behind cover without fear of getting hit. Eventually, someone decided to create a standardized and streamlined gun system for organized competitive play & final battles, resulting in WIJ member BenBonez to create RCL. Over time, this lead to gun scripts based on RCL's mechanics becoming more and more widespread among gun clans, until it was easier to list forts that didn't use some form of RCL clone than it was to list forts that used RCL clones.. For some reason, "third world clans" rarely use them, instead preferring clunkier muskets & FPS gun scripts. The only RCL-style gun script to achieve success among this demographic is Wolfenchan.

Mechanics
RCL guns are very minimalistic - the only keybinds are LMB (shoot) and R (reload). Shooting creates a raycast from your head to the clicked location, stopping if anything (players, terrain, parts, meshparts, etc) is inbetween the two locations. Due to the intuitive controls and support for both first person and third person use, learning it is easy, and the skill ceiling is very high. Tracers are drawn from the gun barrel towards the hit location, and have a brickcolor based on the team the shooter belonged to, defaulting to white if there's no teams.
