Using Fastcast to detect head hitboxes?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m implementing Fastcast into my game because of difficulties of creating my own bullet system from the ground up. I got it to work, however, I’m not able to detect when it hits the head of a humanoid compared to its torso/whatever.

         caster.RayHit:Connect(function(ray, result)
				local hit = result.Instance

				
				if hit:FindFirstAncestor("Zombies") then
					local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
					local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
					print(hit)
					if humanoid and hit == "Head" then
						print("TEST")
						humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
					end
					
					if humanoid and hit ~= "Head" then
						humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
					end
				end
			end)

When I print(hit) it displays Head, however, it doesn’t follow the if-statement of printing “TEST” and the humanoid taking 20 damage.

I think you meant to do hit.Name instead of just hit.

caster.RayHit:Connect(function(ray, result)
				local hit = result.Instance

				
				if hit:FindFirstAncestor("Zombies") then
					local character = hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
					local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
					print(hit)
					if humanoid and hit.Name == "Head" then
						print("TEST")
						humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
					end
					
					if humanoid and hit.Name ~= "Head" then
						humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
					end
				end
			end)
