Help with 'for' loops, loops not looping properly?
I'm making a ray casting gun with a :FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList function and I want it to ignore objects that have CanCollide set to false.
Here is my code
local transparent
for i , v in pairs (workspace:GetChildren()) do
wait()
if v:IsA("Part") then
if v.CanCollide == false then
transparent = v
end
end
end
local part, pos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray{player.Character,transparent},false,false)
The problem is that the code only ignores one Non collide-able object. I want it to ignore all Non collide-able objects in the game.

You'd need to run a recursive function (Calling a function in a function to repeat a process) to loop through the entirety of everything in Workspace and the objects Children.
local ignoreList = {player.Character}
local function recur(origin)
for i,v in pairs(origin:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") and v.CanCollide == false then
table.insert(ignoreList, #ignoreList + 1, v)
end
recur(v) -- Start another loop at v, which is the child of the last object.
end
end
recur(Workspace) -- The root Object
local part, pos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, ignoreList,false,false)
