Im using lookvector and I want it to keep going until its hit. Im using Script.Parent.Touched and stuff but it doesn't work and I don't want to have to use tweening and such to move it.

How can I detect hits while moving something with CFrame?

There is a function that may suit your needs here, commonly used for touch detection. I present you with: :GetTouchingParts().
local touchingParts = script.Parent:GetTouchingParts()
It returns an array containing all of the parts that are touching what script.Parent is. From there, it is just a matter of looping through it.
for _,otherPart in ipairs(touchingParts) do
print(otherPart.Name) -- If this part is found to belong to a player's character, you can damage it!
end
However for your use-case, you want to destroy the part immediately upon contact with another part. You can do this by checking if there is anything at all in the returned array.
Final script:
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local touchingParts = script.Parent:GetTouchingParts()
if #touchingParts > 0 then
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)
