Weird Raycast Behavior

Hey all!

So I'm trying to set up a really simple grappling hook mechanic. I have a player circle with some anchor squares for right now. All I'm doing is doing the raycast so I can make sure it's actually hitting something, except I'm getting weird behavior on my raycast.

I'm storing the raycast hits in a List<RaycastHit2D> and then just printing how many are in the list. Check the attached image for my setup and results.

The three lines are just a Debug.DrawLine call set to show the Raycast. If you look in the console I get different amount of hits and I've no idea why. The amount of hits should always be 3 if I'm aiming through the bottom.

Here's my raycast code with the Debug code in it.
X and Y are player movement input

Any ideas what's going on?

Code (CSharp):

1.  private void Shoot(float x, float y)
2.     {
3.         Vector2 newVector = new Vector2(x, y);
4.         List<RaycastHit2D> raycastHit = new List<RaycastHit2D>();
5.  
6.         Physics2D.Raycast(playerPosition, playerPosition + newVector, noFilter.NoFilter(), raycastHit, maxDistance);
7.  
8.         switch (i)
9.         {
10.             case (0):
11.                 Debug.DrawLine(playerPosition, playerPosition + newVector * maxDistance, Color.red, 3f);
12.                 i++;
13.                 break;
14.  // ... and the two other switch statements for color and resetting i to 0
15.         }
16.  
17.         foreach (RaycastHit2D hit in raycastHit)
18.         {
19.             if (hit == circleCollider)    // If it's the player, do nothing
20.                 continue;
21.  
22.             if (hit.collider.tag == "Anchor")
23.             {
24.                 Debug.Log($"Hit {hit.collider.ToString()}");
25.             }
26.        }
27.     }
28.  

 

Thank you very much! I had gotten a similar setup to work in the past but somehow messed it up here.
