Mouse.TargetFilter not working as it should?

Hello guys! I'm trying to make a Battle Royale game, with guns. The problem is that I have invisible parts with CanCollide = false around it for a system to discover the regions. I grouped them all along with the storm in a model called "MapEnvironment". I set that model as mouse.TargetFilter, but the ray is still detecting collision with those parts. Any help? Thank you!

The Ray object can't be filtered (as far as i know), but there is another method/object named Raycast.

In your function named function newbullet() change the following:

(Note: the way this will work is substituting ray with raycast. They are similar but RayCast doesnt have some things Ray has and vice versa! So you will need to check and/or change any server/client scripts that are linked to this ray system. Noteworthy your Remote Event named "Fire".)

function newbullet()
    local x = math.random(-spread*100,spread*100)/100
    local y = math.random(-spread*100,spread*100)/100

    local direction = (CFrame.new(handle.CFrame.p,mouse.Hit.p)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(x),math.rad(y),0)).lookVector
    -- Raycast Params!
    local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
    raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {game.Workspace.MapEnvironment,char}
    raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist

    -- Might need to check/change this raycast Code as it was just a copy/paste from what you had!

    local myRayCast = workspace:Raycast(effects.CFrame.p,(direction).unit*999, raycastParams)
    --[[
    local ray = Ray.new(effects.CFrame.p,(direction).unit*999)
    local part,pos = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray,char)
    ]]

    local part,pos = ray.Instance,ray.Instance.Position

    if part then
        if part.Parent.Name ~= plr.Name then
            tool:WaitForChild("Fire"):FireServer(part,pos,damage,tool.Magazine.Value,myRayCast) -- The script(s) listening to this Fire Event will need to be changed!
        end
    else
        tool:WaitForChild("Fire"):FireServer(part,pos,damage,tool.Magazine.Value,myRayCast) -- The script(s) listening to this Fire Event will need to be changed!
    end
end

Hope this helps!

Feel free to browse the wiki references below that i've included!

Wiki References: Ray Raycast

I tried it and the local script works well. The problem is that for any reason, "pos" is nil in the Server Script after the Local Script sent the "pos" (which isn't nll in that script) through Fire RemoteEvent. I edited the question adding the original Server Script, like if I didn't modify it. Robloximario952 18 — 2y
