Hello there programmers,
I’m attempting to make a projectile system that casts rays for hit detection. While the motion of the projectile is fine, the casted ray is behaving in a manner I’ve never seen before. As seen in the GIF below, you can see that the ray detects a collision nowhere near the cast direction:
Does anyone have a solution for this, the game file is down below, I’ll provide the entire script in the post as well so that you don’t have to download the file, if you don’t want to.

Thank you for you help!
