If I am making a function that launches a ray and then a part that comes after the ray, how do I make the item face the same x, y, and z axis as the ray?

I have the ray, and the ray forms an arch, as if the item was thrown. I need the item to have the same direction and rotation as the ray though.

To do this I segmented the ray and then created the part.

The part isn't part of the ray

I'm confused. Direction is the direction of the ray. But also, look at Cheesecake's link. It gives an example of making a part in the same size and direction as a ray.

basically the ray is formed, and then a part is created at the end of it outside of the loop

Change that then, or create a table of points.
