pullingRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) -- Pulling
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	
	local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	local rayStart = camera.CFrame.Position
	local rayDirection = camera.CFrame.LookVector * 10000 -- Increasing the length of the ray for expanding the search area

	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace} -- Searching only within the player's character

	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(rayStart, rayDirection, raycastParams)
	if raycastResult then
		local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
		print(player.Name .. " is looking at the object with the name: " .. hitPart.Name)
	end
end)

So the problem is that when I look at a part and call an event, it keeps writing basePlate, even though I’m not looking at it. Why am I doing something wrong?

#2

Are you 100% sure you’re not looking at it? The camera may still be pointing at it.

Whitelist is deprecated. Use Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude or Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include instead.

#3

At the moment nothing is output at all

#4

If you want to search only within the player’s character, you’d add said character to the filterdescendantsinstance table, not workspace.
