  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

so i make it so that when you click it raycast but the raycast didnt
work and idk why and there are no errors too.

heres the code:

LocalScript

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local direction = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 6

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		local rayParam = RaycastParams.new()
		rayParam.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		rayParam.FilterDescendantsInstances = {char}

		local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(HumanoidRootPart.Position, direction, rayParam)
		
		if rayResult == nil then return end
		local otherchar = rayResult.Instance.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherchar)
		if player == nil then return end
		
		attackEvent:FireServer(otherchar)
	end
end)

ServerScript

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local attackEvent = RS:WaitForChild("AttackEvent")

attackEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, char)
	char.Humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
end)

Your direction is outside the input began function and its pretty short 6 studs.

Make sure you access this property inside the input began function to update the direction on click.

I also recommend using a part to visualize the raycast.

changed it to 20 studs yet i found out theres no raycast result

#4

i already put the direction in the input began function but it still wont work

i ended up switching to spatial queries lol thanks for the direction explaination it worked
