Ah sorry, you were casting from the Player’s Character to the NPC, not the other way around. Try this:

local ray = Ray.new(npcToFind.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p, (npcToFind.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p - char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p).unit * 300)

i fixed the shooting backwards thing, but it’s still doesn’t do any damage

Check if it even finds a Humanoid, because that might be the problem.

ok i fixed it, now it works , i want to make the hand disappear after did a move, and appear again if it’s about to do another move , how i do that?
i tried to do :Clone at the start and :Destroy and the end but it’s just disappears forever after the destroy, so what i do with this?

#26 
-- Clone the original hand and save it as ClonedHand
local ClonedHand = Hand:Clone()
-- IMPORTANT: Destroy the cloned hand, not the original
ClonedHand:Destroy()
#27

it’s still destroys forever, and also theres a bug with my thing that sometimes if you hold weapon, it hits the weapon and the humanoid doesn’t take damage

i tried this:

local char = script.Parent
local npcToFind = workspace.Gaster

local Moves = {
    function(TargetPlayer)
		local attk = game.ReplicatedStorage.attacks["Gaster Hand"]:Clone()
		attk.Parent = workspace
        local ray = Ray.new(attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p, (char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p - attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p).unit * 300)
        local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, char, false, true)
		local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
		beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
		beam.Material = "Neon"
		beam.Transparency = 0.25
		beam.Anchored = true
		beam.Locked = true
		beam.CanCollide = false
		
		local distance = 400
		beam.Size = Vector3.new(3, 3, distance)
		beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
		
		game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.6)
		local hit,pos,normal = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
		if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
			attk:Destroy()
		else
			print(hit.Name)
			attk:Destroy()
		end
        return 2 -- The time in seconds you want to wait before the next attack
    end,
    function(TargetPlayer)
		local attk = game.ReplicatedStorage.attacks["Gaster Hand"]:Clone()
		attk.Parent = workspace
        local ray = Ray.new(attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p, (char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p - attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p).unit * 300)
        local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, char, false, true)
		local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
		beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
		beam.Material = "Neon"
		beam.Transparency = 0.25
		beam.Anchored = true
		beam.Locked = true
		beam.CanCollide = false
		
		local TO = char.HumanoidRootPart
		local distance = 400
		beam.Size = Vector3.new(3, 3, distance)
		beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(attk["Hole Part"].CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
		
		game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.6)
		local hit,pos,normal = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
		if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
			attk:Destroy()
		else
			print(hit.Name)
			attk:Destroy()
		end
        return 2 -- The time in seconds you want to wait before the next attack
    end
}

local function GetRandomMove()
    return Moves[math.random(#Moves)]
end

local lastAttack = 0

spawn(function()
	while true do
		local TO = char.HumanoidRootPart
		local dist = (TO.Position - npcToFind.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
		if dist <= 50 then
			npcToFind.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(npcToFind.HumanoidRootPart.Position, char.HumanoidRootPart.Position*Vector3.new(1,0,1) + char.HumanoidRootPart.Position*Vector3.new(0, 1, 0))
            if lastAttack <= tick() then
                local Move = GetRandomMove()
                local returnedTime = Move(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char))
                lastAttack = tick() + returnedTime
            end
		end
		wait()
	end
end)

is there a way to get all parts that the ray hit in the distance and if one of them was humanoid then the humanoid will take damage?

So, it’s really nice of @SimplyData to have helped you with this, but for future, #development-support:scripting-support is generally for getting help with pre-exisiting script, not for asking people to write code for you.

oh ok, sorry… then where i can ask these kind of questions?

#30

If you wanted to hire someone to write the code for you, you could post in #public-collaboration but the DevForum isn’t really for getting people to write you free scripts, so I’m not sure where you can post for that.

There is no place on the DevForum for those kinds of threads. Public Collaboration to hire someone to do that or ask elsewhere that isn’t the DevForum.

That’s about what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming for us.
