Position is not a valid member of Vector3

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to shoot a raycast to the player’s mouse
  2. What is the issue?
    It looks as if it thinks the hit is a Vector3
  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I tried removing the .Position after the hit but it said Unit is not a valid member of CFrame

Here is my code

local function castRay(hit)
	local orgin = script.Parent.Handle.Position
	local Stop = (hit.Position - orgin).Unit * 500
	local result = workspace:Raycast(orgin, Stop, params)
	if result then
		local target = result.Instance
		if target.Parent then
			local position = result.Position
			return castRay(position)
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.Shoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Hit)
	local Attachment0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
	Attachment0.Parent = Target
	Attachment0.Position = castRay(Hit)
end

If you know how to fix this please let me know!

You are giving a Vector3 instead of an Instance, and Vector3 doesnt inherit Position

#3

Do you have an alternative that I could use?

#4

If you are trying to get the Instance from the Raycast, it would be result.Instance instead of result.Position

local target = result.Instance
if target.Parent then
	return castRay(target) -- returns the Instance
end

I am having the same exact error but I am not doing a raycast. But the error is: Position is not a valid member of Vector3 - Server - VerminScript:8. and here is my code:
while task.wait(0.1) do

if vermin.Position.Y <= 1.8 then
			vermin.Position = vermin.Position + Vector3.new(0, .2, 0)
		else
			task.wait(.3)
			vermin.Position = vermin.Position - Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
			local randPos = allPlots[math.random(1, #allPlots)].Position
			vermin = randPos - Vector3.new(0, .807, 0)
		end
	end

I am taking this directly from a course video. And have tried to figure out how to put the instance explained above. I am not figuring that out since i am not targeting anything. I am just trying to compare the Y value in the Position of the Vermin to see if it is less than 1.8. Soon as this line is called I get that error. Also tried to put in the Vector3.new(0,1.8,0) but that wasn’t a way to compare the Y value either. I am hoping that since I am reviving this is the correct way to do it and not start a new topic since its the exact same error. I am pretty new maybe I am missing a period or colon on something. Thank you.
