Side checking script broke after raycasting update

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want make this script part work correctly, and return side on which mouse pointing.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Issue appear after raycast update. Before it work correctly, but now script return nil instead of side.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I was trying change mouse.Target into Raycasting, and trying add wait(). Yes, i try find simular situations. I don’t find them

Issue start appear after Raycasting update, which increase raycating speed and distance. Before that update script worked without errors.

function BuildMod.CalcSurface(Part, mouse, Play) --Part == mouse.Target, mouse == mouse.Hit.p, Play == Player.Character
	local PartCFrame = Part.CFrame
	local XS = Part.Size.X

Sorry if i make mistakes, this’s my first topic. (and i’m not very good in English)

I think it’s an issue as to how your code is set up, Raycast returns either nil if it hit nothing or a RaycastResult, which gives details about what it hit, such as the location, the normal, the material, and for your case, the instance that was hit.

So I think what you need to do is before checking what face to return would be to first check if mouseTRT is nil, afterwards, when you compare the result to the parts, check the Instance property, if mouseTRT.Instance == PartRight then

I try now print(mouseTRT.Instance). It printed me Part, which i send to function. Ray don’t detect side parts. And idk how i can fix this. After adding if mouseTRT ~= nil script start throwing errors.

Fixed. Ray just was too short, so i add some more lenght to it. and thx for help.
