Question My RayCast is not hitting properly?!

    As shown below in the image I have a RayCast starting from my player and going down.

    I am using this RayCast to ground the player but my isGrounded bool only gets set to true when I remove the layer mask.

    I have double checked that all my ground objects are on the correct layer for my layer mask.

    Please Help?!

    My layerMask is set to a layer that I created (called "Ground") and added all the objects that need to ground the player.

    I assume you have collider on the ground?

    There is a collider on the ground, the gounding works when the layerMask is excluded from the RayCast, but I need to be able to differentiate between the ground and other objects for proper grounding.

    I literally went through hell trying to figure out why my raycast were not working then I discovered my rigidbody had isKinematic turned on... Perhaps the ray is interacting another collider, try to determine what object is hit with a Debug.Log with the layer mask turned off, or perhaps add the trigger parameter and set to false in the Raycast method
