it stops at “hi3”

if raycastResult then
		print("hi1")
		local RayInstance = raycastResult.Instance
		if RayInstance then
			print("hi2")
			local character = RayInstance.Parent.Parent
			if character then
				local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if humanoid then
					print("hi3")
					humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
				end
			else
				character = RayInstance.Parent
				if character then
					print("hi4")
					local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
					print(Humanoid)
					if Humanoid == nil then
						print("hi5")
						Humanoid = RayInstance.Parent.Parent
						print(Humanoid)

I see.

change into

if RayInstance.Parent.Parent.Name == "Workspace" then
character = RayInstance.Parent
else
character = RayInstance.Parent.Parent

end

if this doesnt work then im gonna change the script into the turret killing me instead

because when it hits the arm then it will return arm
and arm.Parent.Parent is Workspace

but when it is facing foward then it may hit Handle
Which Handle.Parent.Parent would be Character
