Raycast not hitting anything when at certain angles

[loud raft]

I have a basic gun script. I'm using raycast to make a bullet and have the params ignore my character. For some reason though, the gun only fires have the time when it is at certain angles and I don't know why. (Note: it is a server issue because I tested and the client detects the input and fires the event)

function for the gun shooting:

fired.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, target : Instance, pos : Vector3)
    local params = RaycastParams.new()
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {plr.Character}
    params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
    params.IgnoreWater = true
    
    if deb == false and reloading == false then
        if bulletsLeft > 0 then
            if target then
                local result = workspace:Raycast(tool.Shoot.Position, pos.Position - tool.Shoot.Position, params)
                deb = true

                if result then
                    rayVis(tool.Shoot.Position, result.Position)

                    if result.Instance then
                        if result.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                            local hum = result.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

                            hum:TakeDamage(10)
                        end
                    end
                    
                    shotSound:Play()
                end
                
                bulletsLeft -= 1
                task.wait(SHOT_DELAY)
                deb = false
            end
        end
    end
end)

@loud raft

ik this is ai but

Its bcs

U made it so it only shoots

When

Incontact with humnoid

That’s not the issue because the visualiser for the gun should appear when there is a result

It says if result then rayvis()

Rayvis() is a visualiser function

For those who see this post I figured it out

The pos variable was a CFrame

so i had to modify the raycast direction to this

local direction = (pos.Position - origin).Unit * 1000

since CFrame.position gives me the world pos not the direction or something like that

You're only doing the full sequence if there is a target, i would use fast cast, its much easier to use. I will send an example gun system

Here is an example system using fastcast

You really only need to pay attention the the last 2 functions the onserverevent and function GetCasterForGun

The clientside is incredibly simple, this is just a testing script that I was using until I made the actual guns

--[[
Not_Lowest
Temp gun script
]]

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Event = ReplicatedStorage.Remotes:WaitForChild("GunEvent")

local function Shoot(Gun)
    local Barrel = Gun:FindFirstChild("BPoint")
    if not Barrel then return end

    local Origin = Barrel.Position
    local Direction = (Mouse.Hit.Position - Origin).Unit * 1000 
    local Params = RaycastParams.new()
    Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Player.Character, Gun}
    Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude

    local Result = workspace:Raycast(Origin, Direction, Params)

    Event:FireServer("fire", Result and Result.Instance, {Position = Mouse.Hit.Position})
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gp)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        local Gun = Player.Character and Player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
        if Gun then
            Shoot(Gun)
        end
    end
end)

so essentially your check here if target then is the problem

Im not entirely sure if this will work because im not in studio but

fired.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, target: Instance, pos: Vector3)
    local params = RaycastParams.new()
    params.FilterDescendantsInstances = { plr.Character }
    params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
    params.IgnoreWater = true

    if deb or reloading then
        return
    end

    if bulletsLeft <= 0 then
        return
    end

    if not target then
        return
    end

    deb = true

    local origin = tool.Shoot.Position
    local direction = (pos.Position - origin).Unit * 1000
    local result = workspace:Raycast(origin, direction, params)

    local hitPosition = result and result.Position or (origin + direction)
    rayVis(origin, hitPosition)

    if result and result.Instance then
        local parent = result.Instance.Parent
        local hum = parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if hum then
            hum:TakeDamage(10)
        end
    end

    shotSound:Play()
    bulletsLeft -= 1

    task.wait(SHOT_DELAY)
    deb = false
end)
