any help?

I believe it’s caused by the raycast itself not hitting anything, but I haven’t used that version of raycasting in a while.

I figured it out, I had my hit variables not set to their according number

For example:

local ray5 = Ray.new(script.Parent.Position, Vector3.new(0,0,4))
	local hit5, position = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray5, {script.Parent})
	if hit then --should've been if hit5 then
		if hit.Position.Magnitude - script.Parent.Position.Magnitude < 1 and canexplode == true then
			print("explode")
			canexplode = false
			explode()
		end
	end
