[help] How do I make this script also detect parts with a certain value in it?

I have this detection script, and I need it to also detect instances with a Suspicious value inside it. It doesn’t have to go through the detection meter, all it has to do is fire the func with the correct parameter (a message for the notification that the alarm went off)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
I can always provide more detail if needed.ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Code:

--detection scripttttttttttttttt
local LookPart = script.Parent.Detector
local func = game.ServerStorage.Bindables.Alarm

local debounce = false

while task.wait() do
	for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local Dot = (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit:Dot(LookPart.CFrame.LookVector)
		if Dot > 0.7 then
			local Params = RaycastParams.new()
			Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
			Params:AddToFilter({LookPart,Character:GetChildren()})
			local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(LookPart.Position,-(LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude,Params)
			if not Raycast then
				if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name) then
					local value = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name).Values.Detectable
					if script.Parent.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
						if value.Value == true then
							if debounce == false then
							debounce = true
								local i = 5
								local detectlevel = Player.Values.DetectLevel
								detectlevel.Value = i
								
								local ok = true
								repeat 
									if value.Value == true and script.Parent.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 and not workspace:Raycast(LookPart.Position,-(LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude,Params) then
										ok = true
										print(i)
										i -= 1
										detectlevel.Value = i
										task.wait(0.6)
									else
										print("not ok")
										ok = false
										debounce = false
										detectlevel.Value = 5
										break
									end
								until i == 0 or ok == false
								
								if ok == true then
									local reason = " got spotted by a citizen and raised the alarm!"
									local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name)
					
									func:Fire(plr, reason)
									debounce = false
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
				local char = Character
				local player = game.Players[char.Name]
			end
		end
	end
end

Use :FindFirstChild to detect if the part has a value named Suspicious.

I know that, but how do I add it to the raycast params? Like make it detect it not just how to check the value

Why would you need to add it to the ray param? Do you want it to exclude those values?

Well, whatever makes it detect other things. Right now the code only detects characters, then proceeds if they are detectable.

local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(LookPart.Position,-(LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude,Params)
			if not Raycast then

edit: late reply?

Hey, a few changes and it should work as you intended. I’ve modified it to check for ‘suspicious’ as ‘detectable.’ It may not be what works best for your scenario because it was a little bit vague imo, but this is the modified code:

local LookPart = script.Parent.Detector
local func = game.ServerStorage.Bindables.Alarm

local debounce = {}

while task.wait() do
    for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
        local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        local Dot = (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit:Dot(LookPart.CFrame.LookVector)
        
        if Dot > 0.7 then
            local Params = RaycastParams.new()
            Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
            Params:AddToFilter({LookPart, Character:GetChildren()})
            local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(LookPart.Position, -(LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude, Params)
            
            if not Raycast then
                if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name) then
                    local detectableValue = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name).Values.Detectable
                    local suspiciousValue = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name).Values.Suspicious
                    
                    if script.Parent.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
                        if detectableValue.Value == true or suspiciousValue.Value == true then
                            if not debounce[Character] then
                                debounce[Character] = true
                                local i = 5
                                local detectLevel = Player.Values.DetectLevel
                                detectLevel.Value = i
                                
                                local ok = true
                                
                                repeat 
                                    if (detectableValue.Value == true or suspiciousValue.Value == true) and script.Parent.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 and not workspace:Raycast(LookPart.Position, -(LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * (LookPart.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude, Params) then
                                        ok = true
                                        print(i)
                                        i -= 1
                                        detectLevel.Value = i
                                        task.wait(0.6)
                                    else
                                        print("not ok")
                                        ok = false
                                        debounce[Character] = false
                                        detectLevel.Value = 5
                                        break
                                    end
                                until i == 0 or ok == false

                                    local reason = " got spotted by a citizen and raised the alarm!"
                                    local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name)
                                    
                                    func:Fire(plr, reason)
                                    debounce[Character] = false
                                end
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end
