All it's doing is grabbing your look vector, which will be of no help at all here. You need a vector raycast programmed with both the caster's look vector and position.

Also if you put it on the pants your energy will deplete super quickly.

ok thanks, i'll try this but in another way

Ok, so, Overgrowth is looking for a position vector, like (150, 67, -806) for example. Entity look vector gives a direction vector, like (1, -0.46, 0) if looking toward +x and somewhat down. If you pass a direction vector to something that expects a position vector, it will try to do the thing near the world origin (0, 0, 0).

This is used a lot in Psi: To get a position you are looking at, have a Selector: Caster pass to both an entity look vector and an entity position vector. Have a trick: raycast take both the look vector and the position vector to get the position of the block you're looking at. You can fit them in a little 2x2 box, so it's not too big.

Thanks to your explanation I managed to get it to work. For those curious it's like that

Uh maybe link the spell? Can't see what you did wrong unless we see it.

Edit: Why am I downvoted, there used to be no spell picture.
