Raycast returning nil

--In a LocalScript:

this looks like an invalid direction local RayDirection = CFrameToOrientation(CFrame.lookAt(RayOrigin, RayTarget))*math.huge

function CFrameToOrientation(cf: CFrame)
    local rx, ry, rz = cf:ToOrientation()
    return Vector3.new(math.deg(rx), math.deg(ry), math.deg(rz))
end```
this is a rotation and not a direction

funny because my friend got me to make the exact same change and it didn't work

(dont mind the random displayname and avatar change its for a bit in a dif server)

[daring fossil]

your friend probably doesnt know the difference between a direction and an angle either

[glacial prairie]

so why does it not work then?

[daring fossil]

use this as your directionCFrame.lookAt(RayOrigin, RayTarget).LookVector * 1000

instead of allat cframetoorientation * math.huge insanity

[glacial prairie]

i just used math.huge to represent it has infinite range

[daring fossil]

do not use math.huge in a raycast

[glacial prairie]

kk

why not??

[daring fossil]

invalid

pretty sure the internal range limit is 10k studs or something like that, a far cry from math.huge levels of range.
