Raycasting question

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Am I doing anything wrong with raycasting here or is it a seperate issue

function module.PlrFire(source : StartingPlaceOfTheRay, angle, plr)
	local param = RaycastParams.new()
	param.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	local no = {}
	for _,child in pairs(plr.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("BasePart") then
			no[#no + 1] = child
		end
	end
	param.FilterDescendantsInstances = no
	local result = workspace:Raycast(source, angle, param)
	if result ~= nil then
		local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		part.Position = result.Position
	else
		print("wow nothing?")
	end
end

No you’re doing everything correctly trust me

You can just set the Filter to the Character.

param.FilterDescendantsInstances = {plr.Character}

that put out an error when I tried it

function raycast(origin, direction, distance)
	local rayIgnoreList = {rayFolder}
	if not distance then
		distance = 300
	end
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = rayIgnoreList
	local result = workspace:Raycast(origin, (direction - origin).Unit*distance, raycastParams)
	local intersection = result and result.Position or origin + (direction-origin).Unit*distance
	return intersection, result
end

function rayModule.CastRay(origin, direction, distance)
	local intersection, result = raycast(origin, direction, distance)
	return intersection, result
end
