How do I get the part that a ray hits?
The problem is on line 10, when I try to get the name of the part. Output says that part is a nil value.
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
script.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
if mouse.Target.Name == "Water" then
local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.Position, mouse.Target.Position)
local part, point = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
if part.Name == "Water" then
print "success"
end
end
end)

Make sure to check if the Ray anything, otherwise it will return nil. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 4y

Btw, for your script, it's taking the Target position and multiplying by 300. Say the vector3 was 1,1,1, it will become 300,300,300. That's a really big different. The Ray bit should be (End - Start).Unit * 300 TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 4y

"Make sure to check if the Ray anything, otherwise it will return nil." What does that mean? Also, I got rid of the 300 thing. I want to put a limit on how far it would go, but I can do that after I get the part. Edbotikx 99 — 4y

Alright, here ye go. some help.
It simple to fix this problem.
Use:
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.Position, mouse.Target.Position)
local part, point = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
if part.Name == "Water" then
print "success"
end
end)
end)
I forgot somethings sorry, here have a smiley face :) .
