Unable to cast value to objects

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So, I’m following this tutorial from 2020 on how to make a gun for my game and I came across this issue I can’t figure out…

script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mousePos)
	local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
	raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = (player.Character) -- Where the problem is
	raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
	
	local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Handle.Position,(mousePos - script.Parent.Handle.Position)*300,RaycastParams)
	
	if raycastResult then
		local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
		local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
		if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			model.Humanoid.Health -= 30
			end
		end
	end)

That’s the current code I’m using, I’d really appreciate it if someone could figure it out.

Thanks,

I think (player.Character) should be a table, so {player.Character}

That’s essentially deprecated, as all it’s useful functions are deprecated themselves.
