(Raycast) How to ignore descendants of models with a certain name?
So I took this raycast script from the wiki. How can I do it so that it ignores the descendants of a model named "Potato"?
local ray = Ray.new(
Weapon.Handle.CFrame.p, -- origin
(mouse.Hit.p - Weapon.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 500 -- direction
)
local character1 = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local model = ?
ignore = {character1, model}
local hit, position = Workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, ignore)
Thanks!

I am unsure of whether or not you can simply pass Models to the ignore list.
If so, just using model = workspace.Potato may work.
Otherwise:
Using simple recursion we can get make a getParts function by noting the following:
The descendant parts of an object are the BasePart-children of that object, as well as the BasePart-descendants of its other children.
function getParts(mod)
local parts = {}
for _, child in pairs(mod:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("BasePart") then
table.insert(parts,child)
end
for _, part in pairs(getParts(child)) do
table.insert(parts,part)
end
end
return parts
end
We could then pass getParts(workspace.Potato).
