When I use this script, I get this error:

15:07:18.573 - Unable to cast value to Objects 15:07:18.573 - Script 'Players.Player1.Backpack.Chem Sniper.LocalScript', Line 14 15:07:18.574 - Stack End

How do I fix it?

01local tool = script.Parent
02local user
03local IgnoreList = {"Handle", "Hat"}
04 
05 
06tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
07 
08   user = tool.Parent 
09 
10 
11   mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
12 
13      local ray = Ray.new(tool.AimPart.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit*300)
14      local hit, position = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, user)
15 
16 
17      local playerhit = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) or game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent.Parent)
18      if playerhit then
19      local humanoid = playerhit.Character.Humanoid
20      print(hit.Name)
21      if humanoid then
22           if hit.Name == "Head" then
23            humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
24            else
25            humanoid:TakeDamage(30)
26            end
27       end

29        -- Settings
30       local distance = (position - tool.AimPart.CFrame.p).magnitude
31       local rayPart = Instance.new("Part", user)
32       rayPart.Name          = "RayPart"
33       rayPart.BrickColor    = BrickColor.new("Really blue")

The second argument of FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList has to be a table of parts. Replace user with a list of all of the parts inside of user.

edit: If you use FindPartOnRay instead, you don't have to change anything else, because the second argument can be an instance.

Or, use FindPartOnRay instead BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

I tried doing that, but now it's not doing anyting. Also, @BlueTaslem, That was what I was originally going with, but it had issues with detecting shots to the head. phoniex 0 — 9y
