Could you show what your params look like?

#3 
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
_G.params = {
	char,
	cam,
	workspace.Map.Glass,
}
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = _G.params

This looks right, so could you show me the whole code?

#5

Why don’t you use the same params?

#6

they are the same params. it’s just the old raycast only take in tables in contrast to the new one where you have to define RaycastParams.new()

#7

for privacy reasons, no. for context, this ray shoots out from the characters back, but the issue here is why the new raycast returns nil whereas the old one returns a value, even if it’s the same ray?
