How do I create a Raycast between two parts?

I have a script below that I am using as a reference. I am wondering how I can make a Ray between two parts I have in Workspace. The parts are named "Part" and "Part1".

Reference -

1local Ray = Ray.new(game.Workspace.vislbIe.HumanoidRootPart.Position, game.Workspace.vislbIe.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0,3,0))
2 
3local part = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray,game.Workspace.vislbIe)
4 
5--[[
6 (I am not wanting to create the Ray using the same method as this script, I simply wanted to see how this stuff works)
7]]--

Now, I want to make a Ray begin on Part, then end at Part1. Here is a script from Roblox Wiki, this script is how I want to make my ray, minus the Tool handle.

1local ray = Ray.new(
2    Weapon.Handle.CFrame.p,                           -- origin
3    (mouse.Hit.p - Weapon.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 500 -- direction
4) 
5local ignore = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
6local hit, position, normal = Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, ignore)

Any solutions?

Ray.new has 2 arguments, 1st one is the starting position of the ray, the second the vector of the ray including length.

in your script

`1`	`local` `startPos` `=` `Part.Position`

`2`	`local` `rayVector` `=` `Part1.Position - Part.Position`

then,

`1`	`local` `ray` `=` `Ray.new(startPos, rayVector)`
