Then you can just find the humanoid of that player’s character and damage it.

Like

	local character = RayInstance.Parent.Parent
	if character then
		local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if humanoid then
			humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
		end
	else
		character = RayInstance.Parent
		if character then
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
			end
		end

if this doesn’t work i have another method but omg bruva why isnt it workingahhhhhh

It’s only detecting for the direction you put it as? Try increasing the direction variable

	local direction = part.CFrame.LookVector * 250

update

local part = script.Parent
local partmodel = workspace.Workerthrow



while wait(1) do
	for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
		local human = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local torso = v:FindFirstChild("Head")
		if human and torso and human.Health > 0 then
			if (torso.Position - part.Position).magnitude < 100 then
				part.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position, torso.Position)
			end	
		end
	end
	local origin = part.Position
	local direction = part.CFrame.LookVector * 250

	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()

	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {part, partmodel}
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, raycastParams)
				
	if raycastResult then
		local RayInstance = raycastResult.Instance
		print(RayInstance)
		if RayInstance then
			local character = RayInstance.Parent.Parent
			if character then
				local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if humanoid then
					humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
				end
			else
				character = RayInstance.Parent
				if character then
					local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
					if Humanoid == nil then
						Humanoid = RayInstance.Parent.Parent
						if Humanoid then
							Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
