Script to exclude Accesories from Raycast not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. **What do you want to achieve?
    I want to be able to raycast without having the player’s accessories blocking the ray.

  2. What is the issue?
    Although I have excluded the accessories and handle, they are still blocking my ray? I am unsure if it’s because of the raycast filtering param not accepting accessories as hats.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have made a code that put these accessories and handles into an array. There are other approaches to this, but I specifically want my code to be used in this case.

The following code is in localscript

local MAX_DISTANCE = 1000 local excludeTable = {} -- Filter all mouse related parts for _, filterInstance in pairs(game.Workspace.FilterMouse:GetChildren()) do	table.insert(excludeTable, filterInstance) end for _, part in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do	if part.ClassName == "Accessory" then	for _, descedant in pairs(part:GetDescendants()) do	if descedant:IsA("BasePart") then	table.insert(excludeTable, descedant)	end	end	end end local newRaycastParams = RaycastParams.new() newRaycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = excludeTable newRaycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist local newRayDirection = (mouse.Hit.Position - character.Head.Position).Unit * MAX_DISTANCE local newRaycastResult = game.Workspace:Raycast(character.Head.Position, newRayDirection, newRaycastParams) -- Go through all parents until character is found if newRaycastResult then	local part = newRaycastResult.Instance	while part.Parent ~= nil do	print(part.Name)	if part:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then	print("found character")	local otherCharacter = part	for _, children in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do	if children.ClassName == "Accessory" then	for _, descedant in pairs(children:GetDescendants()) do	if descedant:IsA("BasePart") then	table.insert(excludeTable, descedant)	end	end	end	end	break	end	print("didn't found character")	part = part.Parent	end end print(excludeTable) -- shows all parts excluded -- refire raycast with new excluded parts local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new() raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = excludeTable raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist local rayDirection = (mouse.Hit.Position - character.Head.Position).Unit * MAX_DISTANCE local raycastResult = game.Workspace:Raycast(character.Head.Position, rayDirection, raycastParams) if raycastResult then	print(raycastResult.Instance) -- Prints handle that was already excluded??	print(raycastResult.Instance.Parent) end

What I do for my game is I just edit the CanQuery property and turn it off for all the descendants of Accessory instances.

a part cannot be an accessory i would say instead of if part.ClassName == "Accessory" make: if part.Parent:IsA("Accessory") then

I understand this solution, but I already have another loop where the descendant of that accessory, in this case the handle, is being added to the exclude list

Never mind everyone, sorry if you were finding a solution through this excluding technique. I found a way where I included the character’s part instead of excluding only their hats. This method is much faster compared if you were to fire 2 raycast at once. Let me know if I am correct about the performance part, but I would include the player’s body to be detected by raycasting.
