Raycast wont work in some spots

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello devs,I have been using raycast and this happened :

Code :

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local NPC = script.Parent
local animation = NPC.NPC:LoadAnimation(NPC:WaitForChild("Animation"))

local function getPlayer(distance)
	local player, dist = nil, distance
	for _,plr in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if plr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if (script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position - plr.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < dist then
				player = plr
			end
		end
	end
	return player, dist
end

spawn(function()
	while wait(1) do
		local player, dist = getPlayer(math.huge)
		if player then
			local rayParams = RaycastParams.new()
			rayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent}
			rayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
			local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Hat.Position, player.Head.Position, rayParams)
			if rayResult then
				local hitPart = rayResult.Instance
				if hitPart then
					print(hitPart.Name)
				end
			else
				if player.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
					local hat = script.Parent.Hat:Clone()
					for _,i in pairs(hat:GetChildren()) do
						if i:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
							i:Destroy()
						end
					end
					hat.Parent = workspace
					hat.Anchored = true
					hat.Transparency = 0
					animation:Play()
					script.Parent.Head.Toppat.Transparency = 1
					local Go = TweenService:Create(hat, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0), {
						CFrame = player.Head.CFrame
					})
					Go:Play()
					Go.Completed:Wait()
					Go:Destroy()
					local dist = (hat.Position - player.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
					if dist < 5 then
						player.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
					end
					script.Parent.Head.Toppat.Transparency = 0
					hat:Destroy()
				else
					script.Parent.Head.Toppat.Transparency = 0
					for _,i in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
						if i:IsA("Part") or i:IsA("BasePart") or i:IsA("UnionOperation") then
							if i.Name == "Hat" then
								i:Destroy()
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

spawn(function()
	while wait() do
		local player = getPlayer(math.huge)
		if player then
			script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.lookAt(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position, player.HumanoidRootPart.Position * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) + script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position * Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)))
		end
	end
end)

The Raycast basically sometimes work and sometimes not.

Thank you for help!

What is the parent of this script?

#3

Script is parent of Monster. I am making this longer cuz of min 30 wors.

#4

Is the parent like the whole monster model?

#5

yes it is. Its the black monster with top hat.

#6

I think it may be that the magnitude is above 5? Maybe try print the magnitude. (Nevermind i read it wrong)

#7

Magnitude is for damaging victim.

#8

The only thing i can think of is the origin position and direction.

#9

Is the wall blocking the ray because it isn’t blacklisted on the params?

#10

i blacklisted Monster so hes not detecting himself, filter type is set to BlackList.

#11

Yes but the wall isn’t the monster right?

#12

No its not. I printed hitpart name, and in one spot it dont print, and in another it DOES print and there is no wall…

#13

Instance 2 parts , one at the ray origin and one at the Position parameter of the ray.

#14

Origin is Head/Hat and Direction is players head. Soo are you trynna help me with asking me questions that you can look at in script?

#15

I don’t see anything wrong with the script, i am seeing if my hypothesis is correct by testing where the ray is hitting.

#16

Why are you making a ray from the monster hat? It is being moved, you should make ray origin the monster head.

#17

Not working. It doesnt matter from where the ray goes, it still wont work.

#18

Try filtering the player to raycast to as well? You seem to have it so when it finds a rayResult, it just prints the Instance, but if it found nothing, it does the attacking. Maybe it could be conflictions?

rayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent,player}
