RayCast won't filter out things?

[Icelogist (Icey)]

For some reason, even if I specify that I don’t want the player model or the effects to be counted in the raycast, it still manages to hit the player. I’ve been debuging this for a bit and I can’t figure it out.

This script is located in game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts

local HumanoidRootPart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Torso = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")

local parentBlackList = {Character, game.ReplicatedStorage.Resources} 


local Blacklist = {}

for i=1, 2, 1 do

	for _, items in pairs(parentBlackList[i]:GetDescendants()) do

		table.insert(Blacklist, items)
		print("Blacklisted: "..tostring(items.Name))
			
	end

end


local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = Blacklist

while wait(0.1) do
	
	local result = workspace:Raycast(HumanoidRootPart.Position, (HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector) * 5)
	
	if result then
			
		HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = (HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector + Vector3.new(0,-3,0)) * -25
		print(result)
		
	end
	
end

@Icelogist

workspace:Raycast(HumanoidRootPart.Position, (HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector) * 5)

You forgot to add the third argument, therefore the raycast is not influenced via RaycastParams.

@Icelogist

for i=1, 2, 1 do

	for _, items in pairs(parentBlackList[i]:GetDescendants()) do

		table.insert(Blacklist, items)
		print("Blacklisted: "..tostring(items.Name))
			
	end

end

This is not needed, as it will automatically filter out all desendants of an object which was specified above:

@Icelogist

local parentBlackList = {Character, game.ReplicatedStorage.Resources}

Gosh I’m such an idiot, just one extra variable, thanks for helping. + note taken about the for loop! ^^
