Raycast Hitbox detects accesories

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I’m trying to use the Raycast Hitbox module to make a melee game. I’ve encountered an issue when I’ve tried to make the melee detect if it has hit somebody in the head, it detects the player’s head accessories instead of the body part.
The print(hit) line exports the word “Handle” in the console, meaning it hit the accessory’s handle and couldn’t detect the body part.

I’ve tried to detect it as a headshot if hit.Name == “Handle” but that would lead to errors where players would hit the other players on a accessory that isn’t on their head but still register it as a headshot.

I’ve tried to detect if the part is an accessory but it just did not work.

If anybody knows how to fix this and would tell me how, I would appreciate it very much.

local weapon = script.Parent.Parent

local attacktrig = script.Parent.Attack
local headattacktrig = script.Parent.HeadAttack
local idletrig = script.Parent.Idle
local equiptrig = script.Parent.Equip

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ragdollEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Ragdoll
local RaycastHitbox = require(ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4)
local gugushaker = ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Shakers.GuguShaker
local headshaker = ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Shakers.HeadShaker

local newHitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent)

newHitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit, humanoid)
	
	humanoid:TakeDamage(math.random(30,40))
	weapon.Handle.HitSFX:Play()
	weapon.Handle.Bld1:Play()
	print(hit)

	if hit.Name == "Head" then
		
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(weapon.Parent)
		ragdollEvent:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent))
		weapon.Handle.Bld2:Play()
		headattacktrig:FireClient(player)
		headshaker:FireClient(player)
		
	end
	
end)

local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

weapon.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local gug = weapon.Parent
	Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {gug}
	local newHitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent)
	newHitbox.RaycastParams = Params
end)

equiptrig.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:IsA("Player") then 
		weapon.Handle.EquipSFX:Play()
	end
end)

attacktrig.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:IsA("Player") then 
		task.wait(0.6)
		gugushaker:FireClient(plr)
		weapon.Handle.SwingSFX:Play()
		newHitbox:HitStart()
		task.wait(0.4)
		newHitbox:HitStop()
	end
end)
#2 
function onAppearanceLoaded(character)
local handle
for _, accessory in character:GetChildren() do
if not accessory:IsA("Accessory") then continue end
handle = accessory:FindFirstChild("Handle")
if not handle then continue end
handle.CanCollide = false
handle.CanTouch = false
handle.CanQuery = false --This is really what prevents raycasting collision
end
end

Run that whenever a new player character has loaded

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(onAppearanceLoaded)
end)
