#1

i have this script marked to fire the ray downward. additionally i have any hit parts marked with red. Yet the parts above it are being hit??

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			local ray = Ray.new(v.Position, Vector3.new(v.Position.X, v.Position.Y - 1, v.Position.Z)) 
		local hit2, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, {game.Workspace.LeftArm, game.Workspace.RightArm, v})
			print("RayFired")
	
		if hit2 then
			print(hit2.Name)
			print(hit2.Parent.Name)
			hit2.Transparency = 0.8
				hit2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
				--debug
		end
		if not hit2 then
			for i, v2 in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
				if v2:IsA("BasePart") then
				v2.Anchored = false
					print("Hit")
					end
			end
		else
			for i, v2 in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
				if v2:IsA("BasePart") then
					--v2.Anchored = true
					end
			end
		end
		end
	end

(Red mean hit by raycast and the misaligned bricks are the parts firing the raycast)

The direction is relative to the origin. If you want to shoot it 1 stud down from v.Position then make your direction Vector3.new(0, -1, 0)
