I try copy and pasting my code but only half of it goes into a code box how do I fix do that?
Select the entire script then put it inside a code box, is your ctrl c and ctrl v not working?
If not then try to send a screenshot of the code

this is whats happening
— local script
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local rayOrigin = script.Parent.Position
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, mouse.UnitRay.Direction* 250 , raycastParams)
print(raycastResult)
script.Parent.Parent.Handle.FireSound:Play()
script.Parent.Parent.FireGun:FireServer(player, mouse.Hit.Position)
end)
—normal script
script.Parent.Parent.FireGun.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mouse)
local MousePosition = mouse --Your mouse position from remote event
local origin = script.Parent.Position-- your origin
local Direction = (MousePosition - origin).Unit
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent.Parent, player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local ray = workspace:RayCast(origin,Direction, raycastParams)
print("IS THIS")
end)
script.Parent.Parent.FireGun.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mouse)
local MousePosition = mouse --Your mouse position from remote event
local origin = script.Parent.Position-- your origin
local Direction = (MousePosition - origin).Unit
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent.Parent, player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local ray = workspace:RayCast(origin,Direction, raycastParams)
if ray then
print("IS THIS")
end
end)

Does it show any error? is it printing when the ray hits?

Print origin and print MousePosition, both of them need to be vector3 values

you need to print origin and MousePosition above the local Direction line

so do you want me to make it the first line in the function?
I see what’s wrong now
Don’t include the player parameter in your :FireServer(), as the server’s OnServerEvent’s first parameter is default to whoever fired it
script.Parent.Parent.FireGun:FireServer(mouse.Hit.Position) --only send mouse.Hit.Position

sending a player variable through the :FireServer() will be read like this in the .OnServerEvent
localscript
RemoteEvent:FireServer(--localplayer--,mouse.Hit.Position)
How its read in the .OnServerEvent
Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,TheSamePlayer, TheActualPosition)
end)

alright ive done that now there is no errors. does that mean the server script has the final results of the raycast now? I cant tell because im not getting any server feedback in the output.
Try to print ray.Instance inside the if ray then statement, if it prints then it works
if ray then
print(ray.Instance.Name)
end

Its working, its just that the ray is only firing like 1 stud facing your mouse.Hit.Position. How to fix this?
Multiply the Direction by as many studs you want the raycast to go
local ray = workspace:Raycast(origin, Direction * 1000, raycastParams) -- Direction * 1000 = 1000 studs in the direction facing mouse.Hit.Position
