How would I print the name of a object hit by a raycast?

Im making a ray cast so that my character can go up slower on slopes and down fast on slopes while rolling, I want it to be able to identify the part by printing it in the output.

But I got an error saying that Name is not a Property of RaycastResult, so how can I print and identify the part that collided with the raycast?

Script:

local HRP = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local settingS = RaycastParams.new()
settingS.IgnoreWater = false

while task.wait() do
	local ray = workspace:Raycast(HRP.Position, Vector3.new(0,-10,0), settingS)
	
	if ray then
		print(ray.Name)
	end
end

ray.Instance.Name

Ray is a table which contains other information about the ray. Use ray.Instance to get the hitpart

Look at the Hit Detection section.

Sp does ray.Instance get whatever the ray hits and finds its Instance?

Exactly. But be careful. Ray can be nil

RaycastResult.Instance is a reference to the instance (object) the ray intersected. Be wary though, as warned here ‘RaycastResult’ is nil in cases where the ray intersects nothing.
