Not ignoring designated part on FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList()?
Now I have seen other similar questions on various sites, including this one, and I just can't seem to get this to work using the advice from anyone. All I'm trying to do is to get the ray to ignore the part that the ray has created. I have tried simply making the part itself ignored, adding folders, creating tables, etc. Nothing works. Any help is greatly appreciated and I sincerely apologize for asking a question more than once on the site, but I was unable to figure it out using the previous posts. Thank you.
local play = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = play:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local fire = false
function Shoot(pos,laser)
if fire == true then
repeat
wait()
local folder = workspace.Folder
local startCFrame = tool.Handle.CFrame
local normal = startCFrame.LookVector
local position = startCFrame.Position
local ray = Ray.new(position, normal * 500)
local hit, position, surfaceNormal = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray,{folder}) --problem is here
laser.Size = Vector3.new(0.4, 0.4, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.Position).Magnitude)
laser.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.Position:Lerp(mouse.Hit.p, 0.5), mouse.Hit.p)
until fire == false
laser:remove()
end
end
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
fire = false
end)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if equipped then
fire = true
local laser = Instance.new("Part")
laser.Name = "Laser"
laser.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
laser.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
laser.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
laser.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
laser.Anchored = true
laser.CanCollide = false
laser.Locked = true
laser.CFrame = tool.Handle.CFrame
laser.Parent = workspace.Folder
Shoot(mouse.Hit.p,laser)
end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
fire = false
end)

I answered my own problem. The problem was not FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList() as the ray is being directed to mouse.Hit.p . Adding a part to the ignore list does nothing, because mouse.Hit.p does not change according to the ray itself. What needed to be done is Mouse.TargetFilter. Adding a folder for all lasers and having the mouse ignore THAT folder each time the laser is fired, fixed the issue.
Here's the complete and working script:
local play = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = play:GetMouse()
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local fire = false
local bullet = false
function Shoot(pos,laser)
if fire == true then
mouse.TargetFilter = workspace.Folder
local startCFrame = tool.Handle.CFrame
local normal = startCFrame.LookVector
local position = startCFrame.Position
local ray = Ray.new(position, normal * 500)
local hit, position, surfaceNormal = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
laser.Size = Vector3.new(0.4, 0.4, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.Position).Magnitude)
laser.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.Position:Lerp(mouse.Hit.p, 0.5), mouse.Hit.p)
wait()
laser:remove()
bullet = false
end
end
mouse.Button1Up:connect(function()
fire = false
end)
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
if equipped then
fire = true
repeat
if bullet == false then
bullet = true
local laser = Instance.new("Part")
laser.Name = "Laser"
laser.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
laser.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
laser.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
laser.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
laser.Anchored = true
laser.CanCollide = false
laser.Locked = true
laser.CFrame = tool.Handle.CFrame
laser.Parent = workspace.Folder
Shoot(mouse.Hit.p,laser)
wait()
end
until fire == false
end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
fire = false
end)

When you are excluding things from the ray, they have to be objects and not a string value, number value, etc. They have to be the direct object.
In an array you can include things from workspace.
object list = {game.Workspace.Model, game.Workspace.Part}
workspace:FindPartOnArrayWithIgnoreList(ray, objectList)
Just make sure you include the EXACT OBJECT and not a name for it.
If you have any questions or issues please contact me. ;)
