Good day everyone! I have a script inside a tool (gun) and I'm having problems RayCasting in a forward direction regardless of where the mouse is. I'm trying to follow a guide I seen on devforum but I'm having trouble. Now onto my code I have so far...

function RayCast(startPos, vec, rayLength)
	local hitObject, hitPos = game.workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray.new(startPos + (vec * .01), vec * rayLength), Handle)
	if hitObject and hitPos then
		local distance = rayLength - (hitPos - startPos).magnitude
		if RayIgnoreCheck(hitObject, hitPos) and distance > 0 then
			-- there is a chance here for potential infinite recursion
			return RayCast(hitPos, vec, distance)
		end
	end
	return hitObject, hitPos
end


function OnFireMobile()
	if IsShooting then return end
	if MyHumanoid and MyHumanoid.Health > 0 then
		if RecoilTrack and AmmoInClip > 0 then
			RecoilTrack:Play()
		end
		IsShooting = true
		isFiring.Value = 'true'
		print("Firing Gun")
		while ButtonClick and AmmoInClip > 0 and not Reloading do
			if Spread and not DecreasedAimLastShot then
				Spread = math.min(MaxSpread, Spread + AimInaccuracyStepAmount)
				UpdateCrosshair(Spread)
			end
			DecreasedAimLastShot = not DecreasedAimLastShot
			if Handle:FindFirstChild('FireSound') then
				Pitch.Pitch = .8 + (math.random() * .5)
				Handle.FireSound:Play()
				Handle.Flash.Enabled = true
				flare.MuzzleFlash.Enabled = true
				--Handle.Smoke.Enabled=true --This is optional
			end
			--if MyMouse then
				local targetPoint = MyMouse.Hit.p
				local shootDirection = (targetPoint - Handle.Position).unit
				-- Adjust the shoot direction randomly off by a little bit to account for recoil
				shootDirection = CFrame.Angles((0.5 - math.random()) * 2 * Spread,
					(0.5 - math.random()) * 2 * Spread,
					(0.5 - math.random()) * 2 * Spread) * shootDirection
				local hitObject, bulletPos = RayCast(Handle.Position, shootDirection, Range)
				local bullet
				-- Create a bullet here
				if hitObject then
					bullet = CreateBullet(bulletPos)
				end
				if hitObject and hitObject.Parent then
					local hitHumanoid = hitObject.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
					if hitHumanoid then
						local hitPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitHumanoid.Parent)
						if MyPlayer.Neutral or (hitPlayer and hitPlayer.TeamColor ~= MyPlayer.TeamColor) then
							TagHumanoid(hitHumanoid, MyPlayer)
							hitHumanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
							if bullet then
								bullet:Destroy()
								bullet = nil
								WeaponGui.Crosshair.Hit:Play()
								--bullet.Transparency = 1
							end
							spawn(UpdateTargetHit)
						end
					end
				end
				AmmoInClip = AmmoInClip - 1
				UpdateAmmo(AmmoInClip)
			--end
			wait(FireRate)
		end
		Handle.Flash.Enabled = false
		IsShooting = false
		isFiring.Value = 'false'
		flare.MuzzleFlash.Enabled = false
		--Handle.Smoke.Enabled=false --This is optional
		if AmmoInClip == 0 then
			Handle.Tick:Play()
			--WeaponGui.Reload.Visible = true
			Reload()
		end
		if RecoilTrack then
			RecoilTrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end
