Why is my ray cast gun with remote events not working?

I have created a ray cast gun using the laser gun wiki and added reload functions, animations, ect. But recently I noticed that the enemies would be stuck on 0 or lower health and not dying. I searched it up and one thing said that the lag could be from the fact that it is all client sided and the server doesn't realize the zombie is dead. So I created a new script using remote events, a local script, and a server script, but when I try to shoot it the ray detects the player even though I set it to ignore the player. Please tell me what I did wrong and if I'm using remote events right, just started coding about 2 months ago. The local script is creating the ray and beam is created but no damage is dealt.

Local Script:

 --Variables---
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local firePart =  script.Parent:WaitForChild("firePart")
local canShoot = true
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local reloading = false
local reloadNoti = player.PlayerGui.gunGui.Frame.reload
local character = player.Character
local HRP = character.HumanoidRootPart
local light = script.Parent.firePart.SpotLight
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local shotEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Shot")
local ignoreList = {character}

--Sounds--
local hitSound = script.Hit
local critSound = script.Crit
local shotSound = script.Shot
local reloadSound = script.Reloading

--GunSettings--
local fireRate = .1
local dmg = 20
local critDmg = 30
local magSize = script.magSize
local ammoCount = script.AmmoCount
local reloadSpeed = 2

--Shooting--
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
    print(player.Name.." equipped the Magnum!")

    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
        if canShoot and ammoCount.Value > 0 and (reloading ~= true) then
        shotSound:Play()
        light.Enabled = true
        ammoCount.Value = ammoCount.Value - 1
        canShoot = false

        local ray = Ray.new(firePart.CFrame.p, HRP.CFrame.lookVector * 300)

        local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, character, false, true)

        local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
        beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
        beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
        beam.Material = "Neon"
        beam.Transparency = 0.25
        beam.Anchored = true
        beam.Locked = true
        beam.CanCollide = false

        local distance = (firePart.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
        beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.1, 0.1, distance)
        beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(firePart.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)


        game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.1)

                wait(fireRate)
                canShoot = true
                light.Enabled = false

        if part then
            local playerH = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
            local hit = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

            if not hit then
                hit = part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
            end

            if hit then
                shotEvent:FireServer(hit)
        end
        end
        end
        end)

    --reload--
    UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and ammoCount.Value < magSize.Value and (reloading ~= true) then
        reloading = true 
        reloadNoti.Text = "RELOADING..."
        reloadSound:Play()

        wait(reloadSpeed)
        ammoCount.Value = magSize.Value
        wait()
        reloadNoti.Text = ""
        reloading = false


end
end)
end)

Server:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local hitSound = script.Hit
local critSound = script.Crit
local shotSound = script.Shot
local reloadSound = script.Reloading

local shotEvent = ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("Shot")

local function hasBeenShot(hit)
    local rand = math.random(4)
                if rand == 4 then
                critSound:Play()
                print("hit.Name")
                print("critical")
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 100
                        else
                hitSound:Play()
                print(hit.Name)
                hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 100
            end
            end

shotEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(hasBeenShot)
