Raycast cant detect player

So i am trying to code npc which will detect if player is in front of him. i send rays every 1 degree. npc’s FOV is 120 degrees, thats why i iterate between -60 and 60. but it doesnt work can anyone help me?

local runtime = game:GetService("RunService")

local npc1 = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Ray")
local character = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character

while wait(5) do
	local origin = npc1.Head.Position
	local direction = npc1.Head.CFrame.LookVector * 100
	
	local raycastResults = {}
	for i = -60, 60 do
		local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin, (CFrame.new(direction) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(i), 0)).Position)
		
		if raycastResult then
			table.insert(raycastResults, raycastResult)
		end
	end
	
	npc1.Head.BrickColor = BrickColor.Yellow()
	for i, ray in pairs(raycastResults) do
		print(ray.Instance)
		if ray.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local char = ray.Instance.Parent
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
			
			if player then
				print("YEY")
			end
		end
	end
end

Fixed it, ray.Instance.Parent was actually detecting cosmetics and not player itself

Using just Raycast can be inefficient and inaccurate. I’ve created a tutorial for creating realstic NPC field of views. I highly recommend checking it out!
