I tried everything to fix this, but i cant, pls help me:
Script:
#pragma strict

var rayLength = 10;

private var treeScript : TreeController;

private var playerAnim : PlayerControl;

function Update()
{
var hit : RaycastHit;
var fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);

if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, hit, rayLength))
{
	if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Tree")
	{
		treeScript = GameObject.Find(hit.collider.gameObject.name).GetComponent(TreeController);
		playerAnim = GameObject.Find("FPSArms_Axe@Idle").GetComponent(PlayerControl);
		
		if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && playerAnim.canSwing == true)
		{
			treeScript.treeHealth -= 1;
		}
	}
}

}

The third parameter in Physics.Raycast, hit, is supposed to be the parameter u pass to know how far you want your ray to be cast along the plane.

Instead of Physics.Raycast(transform.position,fwd,*hit*,*rayLength*),

You should try

Physics.Raycast(transform.position,fwd,rayLength,hit)

which properly sets the rayLength and layermask hit parameters.
