Can't damage player wearing UGC

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I was using the FastCast module when I encountered a bug during testing. It wouldn’t damage the player, at first I thought it was the module it’s self but it actually was because of the UGC my friend was wearing. Is there an alternative method to damaging the player without relying on ‘.parent’?

Here is my code:

caster.RayHit:Connect(function(cast, result, velocity, bullet)
	local hit = result.Instance	
	if hit then
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and not hit:IsDescendantOf(char) then
			local victimHum = hit.Parent.Humanoid
			local victimAnimator = victimHum.Animator
			
			victimHum:TakeDamage(15)
		end

		Debris:AddItem(bullet,2)
	end
end)

you could do it like this

local model = hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass('Model')

if model and not hit:IsDescendantOf(char) then
    local hum = model:FindFirstChildOfClass('Humanoid')
    if hum then
        
    end
end

Thank you, works perfectly fine. I was looking for a FindAncestor function!

caster.RayHit:Connect(function(cast, result, velocity, bullet)
	local hit = result.Instance	
	if hit then
		local hitModel = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
		if hitModel and hitModel ~= char then
			local hitHuman = hit:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if hitHuman then
				local hitAnim = hitHuman:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
				if hitAnim then
					hitHuman:TakeDamage(15)
				end
			end
		end
	end
	Debris:AddItem(bullet, 2)
end)
