[Solved] Touched event never getting triggered?

I'm trying to make a lightning ability sort of thing. As of now, I'm working on the first move, in which the user will create a ball of lightning and throw it at the mouse's position. Right now it seems to work just fine, but the damage never works. I made a function and tried to trigger the function whenever the parts are touched, but it doesn't trigger anything. I've tried other ways of doing this as well, like using the default

boom1.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	-- Stuff here

end

but it still doesn't do anything. I've tested with prints, and I believe the issue is simple in the Touched event. Am I doing it wrong? It's worked just fine with other abilities before this.
