Weird raycast blacklist eheh

[stark rune]

Why does the blacklist ignore what I insert into the table ("Filter") each time I add an instance?
like :

--
local Filter = {}
local RaycastPar = RaycastParams.new()
RaycastPar.FilterDescendantsInstances = Filter
RaycastPar.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
--
--
local Raycast = workspace:Raycast(Start, Direction, RaycastPar) -- Just ignore new instances in "Filter"
--
local NewPart = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
table.insert(Filter, PuddlePart)
--
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
    Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Char)
        table.insert(Filter, Char)
    end)
end)
--
while task.wait(2) do
    for _, Value in pairs(Filter) do
        print(Value) -- Print nothing >>:(
     end
end
--

It shouldn't be printing nothing 🤔

But understand that the table assigned to RaycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances is shallow-copied

Updating the Filter table won't change anything

I've looked at the forums and I'm not the only one having this problem.

Have you verified that the code updating the table is actually running?

[stark rune]

??? Yes

[gentle sierra]

A print call next to table.insert(Filter, Char)?

FYI, you should clear that table of dead characters

I will take care of the memory optimization of the game once I find a solution to add instances to the table.
