Raycast returning, but no instance

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make sure an instance is returned before going any further, however Raycast still returns something, even when nothing is hit

local Params = RaycastParams.new()
	Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist
	Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {playersIsland.Items}
	Params.IgnoreWater = true
	
	-- Check for blocks below
	local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(position, Vector3.new(0, -3, 0), Params)
	if not Raycast then
		-- Check for blocks above
		Raycast = Ray.new(position, Vector3.new(0, 3, 0))
	end
	
	if not Raycast then return end
	print(Raycast)
	local Model = Raycast.Instance.Parent

RaycastResult{Block @ -48, 4.00002384, -52; normal = 0, 1, 0; material = SmoothPlastic}

RaycastResult{Top @ -48, 8.24997616, -52; normal = 0, 1, 0; material = SmoothPlastic}

{-48, 10, -48}, {0, 3, 0}

07:23:12.997 - Instance is not a valid member of Ray

Why is the 3rd print still returning a valid position, even tho nothing has been hit?

You meant to do Raycast = workspace:Raycast(position, Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)). The Ray.new constructor returns a Ray object, WorldRoot:Raycast returns the RaycastResult object
