print(direction) is line 26, print(raycastresult) is line 28 for the server script, and print(hit) is line 42 for server script
I am trying to make a gun system by passing on the mouse hit position through a remote event. That seems to go well but then the raycast most of the time is nil and only sometimes hitting for some reason? I made parts spawn on the mouse position whenever the tool activates so I’m not sure why the raycast is still nil if the mouse is hitting something?
